WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM AUGUST 4, 2024

We've been experimenting with a new email provider - MailChimp. We're ready to recruit some testers. If you'd like to try out this alternate version, please go to this page and enter your name and email address: http://eepurl.com/iAHJaA For the initial weeks I'll send out a copy of the issue myself one evening during the week. If all goes well we'll start sending it on Sunday nights alongside our current version.

This week we open with a final reminder of NBS activities at this week's ANA, two new books, updates from the Newman Numismatic Portal, notes from readers, and more.

Other topics this week include early Q. David Bowers publications, ANA convention exhibits, the 1804 Dollar, the ANA Honorary Doctor of Numismatics, fixed price and auction previews - a TON of those (great numismatic eye candy), a Persian gold hoard find, and the 2024 Olympic medals.

To learn more about the fine arts of bookbinding, California Pioneer Fractional Gold, the SS Central America discovery, Wildman Thalers, three cent patterns, Postage and Fractional Currency, the Norfed American Liberty Dollars, the Marquette Building panels by Hermon MacNeil, Premium Medals, panic money, the 1773 Virginia "Penny," Assay medals, and the history of the American bookstore, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
