WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM NOVEMBER 4, 2007

Among our recent subscribers are Tom McCain, courtesy of
Warner Talso, Mike Miller, courtesy of Alan Weinberg, and
Benjamin Kock.  Welcome aboard!  We now have 1,074 subscribers.

This week we open with word of the passing of one of the
legends of coin marketing in the United States.  Next, in
Mark Twain fashion we are quite pleased to report the
non-passing of prominent E-Sylum contributor.

Topics of new books discussed this week include an Australasian
engraver, ships on coins, and U.S. silver dollars.  Next up are
new reviews of the Canadian Numismatic Bibliography and Roger
Burdette's 'Renaissance of American Coinage 1909-1915'.

In follow-ups from last week Scott Semens provides a dealer's
perspective on the pricing dynamics of out-of-print numismatic
literature, and Dave Hirt provides some background on proof
gold coins purchased by Virgil Brand.

In the news articles quote former Mint Engraver Sherl Joseph
Winter, discuss a company wishing to melt U.S. cent coins,
and a Canadian coin enters the Guinness Book Of World Records.

My three-year-old daughter Hannah made a lovely Snow White at
Halloween last week, but I can assure you she didn't accompany
Pancho Villa and an Amishman into a bar.  To learn about the
non-numismatic trio's wanderings, read on.  Have a great week,
everyone.
