FEATURED WEB SITE

  This week's featured web site is recommended by Andy
  Lustig.  La Casa de Moneda de México (The Mexican Mint)
  "was the first in America, established by "Cédula Real (Royal
  Decree)" in 1535."

  "... in 1908, the Mexican Mint acquired the Ulex Collection
  to begin the organization of its numismatic values which include
  pieces that narrate, by themselves, the history of Mexico."

  Numismatics International, on their web site
  (http://www.numis.org/pubs.htm) offers a copy of the 1908
  Ulex auction sale catalog published by Adolph Hess Nachfolger.

  "An outstanding German auction of Western Hemisphere
  numismatics material.... Medals, tokens. and jetons amassed
  over forty years by Georg F Utes. a Hamburg pharmacist. ...
  George Ulex attributed his collection meticulously with reference
  to the principal standard works .."

  [So... did the Mexican Mint acquire the Mexican portion
  of the Ulex collection intact at the sale?    -Editor]
