The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 32, August 6, 2000, Article 7 I THOUGHT I COLLECTED OBSCURE STUFF The August 2000 issue of the TAMS Journal, official publication of the Token and Medal Society, contains an ad by Denis Loring seeking tokens or medals depicting a manatee. Now that's specialization! I've seen dolphins on coins, but can't recall a manatee appearing anywhere. Several years ago, your editor developed a code phrase for obscure numismatic specialties. Whenever I had trouble making someone understand why I like numismatic ephemera, I'd explain that "it's sort of like collecting die varieties of Lithuanian subway tokens." "Oh, OK," they'd say, thinking to themselves, "I get it - this guy's a nut". You got it. Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature. See our web site at coinbooks.org.
