NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: JUNE 23, 2013

The Mysterious Large Cent Lady Typo
Regarding the headline on last week's article by Harvey Stack on the Mysterious Large Cent Lady, Rich Hartzog writes:

Either Stack is a lot older than I thought, or there is a century error.

Yep - I fat-fingered another one. The date was correct in my comments and in the excerpt from Harvey's blog, but the article headline was wrong. Instead of " THE MYSTERIOUS LARGE CENT LADY OF 1854", it should be, of course, 1954. We'll fix the archive. -Editor

ANA Headquarters Spared From Fires
Barbara J. Gregory, Editor-in-Chief of The Numismatist writes:

For many American Numismatic Association employees, the recent Black Forest Fire is, in the words of Yogi Berra, "like deja-vu, all over again," recalling the Waldo Canyon Fire that began last summer on June 23, 2012. However, the Black Forest Fire—which started last Tuesday and is 65% contained as of this morning—is about 18 miles northeast of ANA headquarters (versus 7 miles northwest for the Waldo Canyon Fire.)

As such, headquarters is not threatened, and, thankfully, no employees have been evacuated. Smoke has been minimal in the downtown Colorado Springs area, and showers and cooler weather have aided the firefighters' efforts.

The ANA would like to thank its many members who have called and e-mailed to express their concern. Our thoughts are with the more than 480 families who have lost homes and the many hundreds of firefighters who have worked tirelessly to protect life and property.

The Ancient Coins in Arnhem Land Expedition
Chris Fuccione writes:

There has been a Facebook Fan page set up for the expedition that Indiana University researcher Ian McIntosh and his team will be undertaking on the Wessel Islands off the coast of Australia to hopefully find out how five coins from dating from the 900s to 1300s, from Kilwa Sultanate in Africa were found off the coastline. It was thought that British explorer James Cook was the first European to have encountered the country’s eastern coastline in 1770.

Venezuelan Beaver Cheese
Regarding the Monty Python sketch mentioned in last week's Numismatic Diary, Fred Michaelson writes:

The Cheese Shop sketch was one of their best, and they did some really fantastic stuff. I particularly liked the Venezuelan Beaver Cheese.
