NUMISMATIC ADVENTURES OF MUTT AND JEFF

  Roger deWardt Lane writes: "A numismatic friend, Steve Shor
  and myself, both members of the Fort Lauderdale Coin Club,
  have been since the first of the year taking our exercise at a
  local flea market on "free" day, when the garage sale people
  come out.

  We started writing the stories of these trips for the Newsletter
  of the FLCC in January 2003.  A few months ago I still had
  all the stories on my computer, and since I am recently retired,
  had lots of time.   I already had a Fort Lauderdale Coin Club
  page as part of my site.  So it seemed natural to rewrite the
  stories in HTML and post them with color images to the
  FLCC page.

  Since from the first trip, we had started calling ourselves -
  Mutt and Jeff, the pages were called the Adventures of Mutt
  and Jeff.  What, you can see with the following link, is the rest
  of the story, as Paul Harvey would say.

   As time went on I got a little more colorful with the page
  designs.   Some of the more recent finds of medals have taken
  quite a lot of research which I very much enjoy.

  It is interesting you mentioned the demise of CD's, DVD, &
  VCR storage in the next few years.  The prediction is that
  on-line storage has become so inexpensive, everything will be
  saved electronically.  I still like my numismatic library of over
  1000 volumes, but their storage gets to be a problem and will
  have to pass them on to others soon.  Just as an aside, my
  600 page e-book does not sell much (2 copies on ebay, one
  recently to another collector of the series. He is the second
  small silver coin collector, I know of, after a local spat two
  years ago.) No one ever wanted to publish on paper - too
  specialized.

  I very much like reading your newsletter each week.  Keep
  up the great job."

  [I believe the article on the demise of CDs etc. referred to
   those particular formats only.  Digitized content of one form
   or another seems to be with us for good.    Some interesting
   items are discussed on the Mutt & Jeff pages.  -Editor]
