The E-Sylum:  Volume 4, Number 15, April 8, 2001, Article 5

COBS OF COLUMBIA AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH 

   William L. Bischoff  reports: "The authoritative volume 
   published in 1998 by J.E. Restrepo and J.R. Lasser, 
   Macuquinas de Colombia, is now available in a 
   thoroughly reworked, hardcover English version: The 
   Cob Coinage of Colombia, 1622-1756.  The English 
   edition features a more practical numbering scheme, new 
   types and varieties, enhanced graphic aids, and two essays 
   by Joe Lasser on the historical background of production 
   at both the Bogota and Cartagena mints. 

   The catalogue lists the coins (1) in traditional chronological 
   order by monarchs and (2) by denominations, with 
   specimens of types for each assayer and mint.  With more 
   than 465 coin photos and diagrams, the authors "have done 
   a splendid job of bringing together as much as we are ever 
   likely to know about the coinage of two of the most enigmatic 
   mints of colonial Latin America....Fully recommended." 
   (R.G. Doty) 

   At $50 for U.S. customers, including postage and handling 
   ($55 for Priority Mail outside North America) this is a major 
   value compared to the original paperback edition in Spanish, 
   which retailed for $35 before P &H.  To order directly from 
   the publisher, send check or money order ($50) made out to 
   William L. Bischoff at: PERTINAX PRESS; 20 East 35th 
   Street 10H; New York, NY 10016.  Or email me at 
   wbischoff@nyc.rr.com for an attachment with more details 
   and an ordering coupon. 

   P.S. Orders with payment received by April 14 will be sent 
   out immediately.  Subsequent orders will be processed as 
   soon as I return to the U.S. on May 4."
