WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM OCTOBER 21, 2007

This issue was published Monday morning because well, I just
couldn't stay up late enough to get it all done - sorry!

Among our recent subscribers are Al Adams of Gold Rush Gallery,
Inc., courtesy of Alan Weinberg and Fred Holabird; Alan Stahl
of Princeton University, and John Sallay.  Welcome aboard!
After purging some inactive email accounts we now have 1,072
subscribers.

This week we open with information on the latest issue of The
Asylum (our print journal) and Roger deWardt Lane's 'Modern
Dime Size Silver Coins of the World'.  Next, Alan Weinberg
fills us in on action at this week's John J. Ford auctions
at Stack's, and the U.S. numismatic world is buzzing over
the ANA's anticlimactic firing of Executive Director Chris
Cipoletti.

In news from the old Mints, the New Orleans Mint museum reopens
with an exhibit on gold, and archaeologists working on the
grounds of the old Carson City Mint building report on
artifacts they've uncovered.

In responses from last week's issue, Saul Teichman writes
about Brand, Farouk, Newcomer, Woodin and Breen pedigrees,
and Warner Talso opens a new discussion on the aftermarket for
numismatic literature.  Thanks also to W. David Perkins of
Centennial, CO for responding to Jonathan Brecher's request
for medals needed to illustrate the new edition of the
Hibler-Kappen So-Called Dollars book.

I've penned a short numismatic diary for this week covering
a number of events that may be of interest to some of you.
In the news are reports on the Utah quarter striking ceremony,
problems with the new sheqalim copper-nickel coins in Israel,
and Spain gets up close and personal with the Odyssey Explorer.
To learn about the elongated pig coins from the 'Pork BBQ
Capital', read on.  Have a great week, everyone.
