I meant to write last week about other sources of information about Palestine numismatics but I'm knee deep in writing an auction catalog and sometimes I put things aside. In addition to Howard Berlin's book, the Dabbah book on Palestine Currency and Pridmore's work which have been already mentioned there are a number of other sources of information.

Richard Trowbridge wrote The Coinage of the Palestine Mandate, a small booklet in 1971, Sylvia Haffner's The History of Modern Israel's Money 1917-1970 (later released as Israel's Money and Medals) includes information about both coins and paper and The Guidebook and Catalogue of British Commonwealth Coins by Jerry Remickm and others all provide good information. In addition the late Fred Bertram's works on Israeli coins from 1966 and 1968 list Palestine coinage.

For more up-to-date pricing I would suggest looking at my price lists and auctions. Many of my old lists and catalogs are archived on my website at www.rosenblumcoins.com.

On another topic, I too was saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Pellegrini.
