NOTES FROM PAUL BOSCO ON NORTON, CHAMBERLIN AND PLATE MONEY

Paul Bosco submitted notes on several topics in last week's issue. See also the separate article on Dave Schenkman's counterstamped 5-Centimes. -Editor

The Ladies in Waiting of Emperor Norton's Court
Regarding Neil Shafer's question about the 1953 Emperor Norton Gold Crown notes, Paul Bosco writes:

In my November 2000 auction, which was primarily U.S. Exonumia, there was a gold medal for the Ladies in Waiting of Emperor Norton's Court. I believe it was from 1953 and issued by the SF Chronicle.

Interesting. I'd never heard of either the notes of the medal. -Editor

Neville Chamberlain Medals
Relating to Winston Churchill medals, Paul adds:

There is now a book on Neville Chamberlain, particularly interested in images of him and the politics/statecraft of his time, by Max Everest-Phillips. Medals are included.

Swedish Plate Money
On Swedish Plate Money, Paul writes:

I see Stack's-Bowers has a collection of Swedish Plate Money coming up. Those who are seriously interested in these odd & curious "coins" should be aware of the NASCA auction of December 1980, which featured a few dozen, including a 26-pound 8-Daler (it made just over $1000 per pound). Obviously, the sale did not have any water-damaged pieces, as it preceded the recovery of the Nicobar plate money.

Calling this a "Stack's-Bowers" offering is something of a misnomer, as it is very much a sale by their World Coins subsidiary, Ponterio. Rick P and his sons will be sure to present the collection in a manner that preserves a numismatic record.
