FROM COIN HOLDERS TO COIN ART

  Mr. Anonymous wrote:  "Okay. Dave Lange got in the last
  word last week.  (But adding the state of Maryland is for sale,
  over and above the governor in that little satire the week before,
  added a ninth Degree of Separation -- from ?coin.?)   What if,
  instead of collecting albums, bags, et al, we tuned our numismatic
  concentration inward. What six Degrees -- from ?coin? --
  would we find in the opposite direction?

  Coin - Metal Composition - Striking - Dies - Engraving -
  Artists - Art.

  If you studied one of these six Degrees wouldn't this be of more
  numismatic importance than coin albums? One book, one author,
  did just that!  ?Numismatic Art in America? by Cornelius
  Vermeule.  I even like this book's subtitle: ?Aesthetics of the
  United States Coinage.?
