WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM DECEMBER 28, 2014
Your Editor is on the road, and we're publishing a little early tonight. We have no new subscribers this slow holiday week. Our total remains at 1,801 email subscribers. This week we open with notes from literature dealers David Fanning and David Sklow, one new book and three reviews. Other topics include counterfeiting in colonial Rhode Island, Chinese forgers, a new law on fake coins, Madame Tussaud's tokens, and tabletop penny art. To learn more about Joseph B. Felt, Bert Cohen, Mary Peck Butterworth, Nellie Tayloe Ross, Joan Murray (nee Clarke), the 1838-O Half Dollar, "Operation Midas", "forensicators" and the first known appearance of the dollar sign in print, read on. Have a great week, everyone! Wayne Homren
