I ran out of time and space last week, but there were a couple more literature exhibits at the recent American Numismatic Association's World's Fair of Money® show in Rosemont, IL. Both had a large number of cases; here are some selected case photos and links to a complete photo gallery. Sorry about the unavoidable glare from the overhead lighting.

A Glimpse of the Life of Charles T. Steigerwalt
From the exhibit guide: "This exhibit displays just a few accomplishments of Charles T. Steigerwalt. Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He became one of the most respected numismatists in the United States and Canada between the late 1800's and early 1900's."
Case 1

This one didn't win an award, but it may have been entered in the wrong category since it includes many copies of numismatic literature items rather than the original materials. Still, a nice overview of one of the more important 19th century U.S. coin dealers.

The Dollar of 1804
Mark Ferguson's marquee exhibit at the American Numismatic Association summer show featured his numismatic literature collection surrounding the Dexter 1804 Dollar and 1804 Dollars in general. The Newman Numismatic Portal filmed Mark giving a grand tour of the extensive exhibit, so look for that in the near future. Here are some selected still photos and a link to the complete gallery that I took at the show. Amazing collection.
Cases 1 and 2
Cases 7 and 8
Cases "11" (Poster) and 12
Cases 27 and 28
