WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM 29 JULY, 2007

Among our recent subscribers are Peter Mosiondz, Jr. (a returning
subscriber) and Richard O. Thomas.  Welcome aboard!  We now have
1,164 subscribers.

This week we open with a reminder of the NBS activities at the
upcoming ANA convention, and news of the results of the ANA Board
of Governors election.  On a sad note, a longtime officer of the
Civil War Token Society has passed away.

In new books this week we have the release of Ken Bressett's
'Milestone Coins" book, a revised edition of 'United States Pattern
Postage Currency Coins' by David Cassel, and a new publication by
Pierre Fricke on Collecting Confederate Paper Money.

In the research question department we have a query from Dick Johnson
on how obsolete U.S. coin denominations are retired, and a call for
information on an emergency currency prepared for the continental
United States in World War II.

Other topics this week include glass coin weights, numismatic trading
cards, and U.S. coins in worldwide numismatic collections.  My London
Diary focuses on the devastating flooding in England this past week.

In the news are a number of interesting reports, including the return
of a family's long-lost 1907 High Relief double eagle, the cross-country
transport of the 1894-S dime, and a profile of Canadian coin designer
Chris Jordison.  Have a great week, everyone.
