NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: NOVEMBER 4, 2012

More on Joel Coen
Harvey Stack writes:

The best story this week, (other than the November Sale, again Thank you) was the story of Joel Coen. Joel as well as his original partner Dan Messer, Tom Wass, Max Kaplan , I.Schneiderman, Paul Witlin, and others were not mentioned in the story I wrote, was because they did not have shops or conduct auctions, and therefore were not as nationally known as those I mentioned. I think each of the might be a story alone. New York had many dealers, and they all, over the years worked together, provided numismatic sources for the collector while working together to keep New York as a leader.

Buying Bags of Seattle World's Fair Silver Dollars
John Dannreuther writes:

Whitman Century 21 medal obverse I enjoyed reading last week's missive. Seeing the articles (last week's and previous ones) brought back some memories! Besides being the "discovery" of the existence of bags of 1903-O silver dollars, the million dollar display of cartwheels has a special memory for me.

After the fair, they sold bags of dollars from the display instead of sending them back to Philadelphia. My father and I decided to take a chance and ordered one. The price was $1,050 plus $15 railway freight. We, of course, hoped for a sealed bag of 1903-O dollars or another of the previously "rare" dates.

We got a circulated bag with only a few better dates (I believe the best coin was a VF 1895-O). We lost money on the bag, as we deposited 990 or so coins into the bank at face value! Oh we'll, they can't all be winners!

ForgeryNetwork.com and Paper Money
Joe Boling writes:

I see that forgerynetwork.com does not list any paper money. I can see that contributors would not want to be posting their supernotes and euros, but what about obsolete paper currencies?
