What with compiling and writing my Diary article and handling chores at home, I was unable to get through all of the week's email. If you submitted something, hang tight and I should get to it by next week's issue. We're not traveling for the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to all our U.S. readers.

This week we open with NBS news, a numismatic literature sale, one new book, updates from the Newman Numismatic Portal, the Christian Gobrecht headstone dedication, notes from readers, and more.

Other topics this week include three cent patterns, ANA news, the Gold Coin Club, Julio Kilenyi, fixed price and auction offerings, my numismatic diary, and a number of banknote stories.

To learn more about J.D. Ferguson, Guido Crapanzano, Coin Columnists, medals relating to architects, counterfeit coins from China, the Stolen Stella, why numismatics did not become an academic profession in the U.S., the Sigmund Freud medal, the medal of Immortality, the U.S Mint Braille Education Set, advertising notes, credit cards, and a Greek short snorter, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
