This week we open with news from no less than three active

librarian.  Next, we have an obituary for Graham Pollard,
author of the new Renaissance Medals catalog.  Myron Xenos

In follow-ups to previous articles, Pete Smith and Craig
McDonald comment on dealer Harold M. Hess, Karl Moulton
discusses 1793 Philadelphia newspapers, Tom DeLorey provides
information on varieties of the 1922 "No D" Lincoln Cent,
and Martin Purdy comments on the legal tender status of
Scottish banknotes.

In the news, word of a robbery of London dealers Dix, Noonan
Webb has just been released, a Forbes article advocates the
private printing of paper money, Venezuela revives the locha
denomination and Zimbabwe reverses its decision to phase out
a banknote denomination.
