The E-Sylum:  Volume 1, Number 12, December 24, 1998, Article 4

FROM THE MAILBAG  

  The postman brought a number of year-end numismatic 
  journals to my door, and I thought two items would be 
  of interest.  First, the December 1998 issue of the John 
  Reich Journal (for collectors of early U.S. silver) has a 
  great photo on p32 of the dismantling of the second 
  Philadelphia Mint in 1902.  

  Second, the Fall 1998 issue of Numisma, the journal of 
  the Eastern States Numismatic Association, has an article 
  by literature dealer (and Numisma editor) Charles Davis 
  titled "Significant Literature of the 20h Century"  The article 
  lists Davis' picks for best American numismatic literature 
  per decade.  Before revealing the list, perhaps some of 
  our subscribers would care to make their own 
  recommendations.   And  what about non-U.S. titles? 
  Which works deserve special recognition?
