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

The new short version of the mailing has proved a success, reaching all of our subscribers. The original full version continues to cause problems for many, and with this week's issue we've stopped sending it out. As always, let me know if you have any questions or problems.

Thank you for reading The E-Sylum. If you enjoy it, please send me the email addresses of friends you think may enjoy it as well and I'll send them a subscription. Contact me at whomren@gmail.com anytime regarding your subscription, or questions, comments or suggestions about our content.

This week we open with more BCD library highlights, three new books, three obituaries, notes from readers, updates from the Newman Numismatic Portal, and more.

Other topics this week include medals of Mexico, "pressed penny" machines, U.S. commemorative coins, WWII numismatics, William Sumner Appleton's bookshop discovery, dealer William Sneed, fixed price and auction previews, National Gold Banks, coin gift holders, and buyer's premiums.

To learn more about Revue Numismatique, Don Erlenkotter, Harry Garrison, Gene Brandenburg, the fineness of the silver in early U.S. coinage, "The World's Largest Coin Collection," the Fall of Riga medal, the mad potter of Biloxi, and the politest auction ever held, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
