PUBLICATION NOTES

The 1997 Coinage of the Americas Conference proceedings have been published by the ANS - "The Medal in America, Volume 02". The book has a marvelous selection of papers on the topic, leading off with John W. Adams' "The Peace Medals of George III",

The November 1999 issue of COINage magazine has an extensive article on "The Great Assay Bar Debate" by Tom DeLorey, along with Part II of Richard G. Doty's article on "The Great Seal and American Numismatics". Great, great!

The October 11, 1999 issue of COIN WORLD contains Part One of William T. Gibbs' article on John Leonard Riddell, "scientist, physician, professor of chemistry, and melter and refiner at the New Orleans Mint." One little- known source of information for the article is a rare pamphlet on the New Orleans Mint published by Riddell in 1845. Eric P. Newman discovered the pamphlet and reprinted it in the April 1968 issue of The Numismatist.
