The E-Sylum:  Volume 8, Number 42, October 2, 2005, Article 1

WAYNE'S WORDS

Among our recent subscribers are the Mediterranean Archaeological
Society, Tom Fulton, Bill McCormick, Mark Tomasko and John
Smithwick. Welcome aboard! We now have 800 subscribers!
How long until we reach the 1,000 mark?

This week's issue is a lengthy one, bringing news of multiple
literature auctions and fixed price lists, reviews of important coin
auction catalogs, announcements of new books, a numismatic
correspondence course and a book review. News from the
world of government includes the release of the new U.S. $10
bill and the exit of a Mint Director and a Mint Director nominee.
[But not the same Mint. This reminds me of an old Woody
Allen gag about a mythical creature that had the head of a
lion, and the body of a lion, but not the same lion....]

Among my favorite E-Sylum items are those featuring numismatic
recollections, and this issue has a number of these from various
sources. I hope some of our readers will chime in with some
additional interesting stories for our next issue. Of interest to
our newer subscribers is a reprint of parts of my recent Asylum
article on the early days of this newsletter, which seems particularly
appropriate as we cross the 800 subscriber mark.

A question for this issue: Who is David Dingwall and how much
does his chewing gum cost? Read on to find out his numismatic
connection (this will be easy for some of our readers). Enjoy
the issue!
