"Love your newsletter. Thank you for all you do to send it out. I was reading the last issue and was very interested in ordering Corpus Numismatum Omnium Romanorum Pontificum: Pio IX.

"I have completed outreach for The Numismatist's Guide. I originally set aside several press copies to share with news outlets. While some were received by reviewers, a few went unsent. As a result, the last handful of copies of the 1st Edition are now available for purchase while they last. Info and link to the final sales can be found here: https://www.thenumismatistsguide.com/the-book.html.

Once these few are gone, none will remain."

Thanks for the update. See the earlier articles for more information about this useful title. -Editor

"Patrick O'Connor has written what can accurately be described as a textbook of numismatic knowledge. His book, The Numismatist's Guide: Standard Reference for the Study of Coins and Paper Money (hereafter, the Guide) not only lives up to its name, but provides a process so that the book can continue to grow and improve as new information is gathered and inserted.

"And to be honest, the numismatic community has needed a systematic approach to the study of coins for decades."

A few years ago, Sally T Davies of the UK shared with us images of an album of coin postcards in her possession. She let me know the album is now up for sale on eBay. Thank you. For those interested in these cards, this is a great opportunity to acquire a large set. See the earlier articles for more information. -Editor

"The Madison County Coin Club (MCCC) of Huntsville, Alabama, is pleased to announce the release of a newly designed challenge coin, available to club members and friends of the club. Designed by club member Stephen D'Angelo, the piece is a tribute to Huntsville's storied history and the club's enduring mission.

"The obverse design reads MADISON COUNTY COIN CLUB / MEMBER and features the iconic Saturn V rocket designed in Huntsville, Alabama along with the American flag and a magnifying glass examining three popular U.S. coins. The reverse design is inspired by Hermon Atkins MacNeil's beloved Standing Liberty quarter with the club's founding year of 2001, motto of EDUCATION, PUBLIC SERVICE, and FELLOWSHIP, and the core club interests of COINS, BANK NOTES, and HISTORY. The medals are 1.75" (44.45 mm) in diameter.

"For more information about the club and this challenge coin, visit the club's website at http://mccc.anaclubs.org/ or send an email to newsletter@mccc.anaclubs.org. The coin is free to all members of the club."

Very nicely done - I like it. -Editor

"The May 24th issue reports about a relic medal honoring the American anniversary this year, and using copper from the Statue of Liberty's restoration in the 1980s.

"This is not the first relic medal issue for the SOL. In 1986, Sears offered medalets (so designated because of their 23mm size) marking the centennial of both the Statue and the company.

"These are abundant and nearly ubiquitous — I've hardly attended a coin show without finding one or more of these in dealer "junk boxes" or low cost tokens and medal offerings."

Thought so - I was sure there had been an earlier relic medal. Thank you! -Editor

As noted last week, Registration for the online course on medieval Mediterranean coinage has just been extended until June 17. But the link in the item was outdated. Sorry - here is the correct link. -Editor
