ON GETTING YOUR E-SYLUM BY EMAIL

(http://www.coinbooks.org/v21/esylum_v21n13a18.html)

After confirming with us that your address is still on our list, the next steps are to check your spam folder and put our address on your not-spam list.  You might have to call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) next to sort it out.  We can check the logs on our end, but what we always find is that the issue is getting delivered to your ISP but your ISP isn't sending it to your inbox.

This week we open with updates from the Numismatic Bibliomania Society, a fixed price offering, three numismatic literature sales, one new book and a new periodical as well.

Other topics this week include the Internet Archive, NGC's coin imaging service, coin holograms, superstitions about money, recovery tokens, Sacagawea dollar model Randy'L Teton, the Trial of the Pyx, highlights from multiple numismatic sales, and coins of the Roman usurpers.

To learn more about Eugene G. Courteau's token monographs, Wayte Raymond catalogues, naval and maritime engraved coins, 
 The Journal of Early American Numismatics (JEAN) , the â€œfond old dreamerâ€ Daniel E. Groux, Stump-Tail currency, coin-operated piano tokens, the Black Penny, the 1949 Assay Medal, and birthday boys Harvey and Maurice, read on. Have a great week, everyone!

NBS PRESIDENT'S SUMMER 2018 MESSAGE

Here's is NBS president Tom Harrison's message from the latest issue. Thanks to Maria Fanning for providing the text.
-Editor

Message from the President 

            With the ANA Worldâ€™s Fair of Money in Philadelphia quickly approaching, I would like to share a few highlights of our annual Numismatic Bibliomania Society events. We are delighted to have numismatic scholar, researcher and author Roger Burdette, speaking at our Symposium on Thursday, August 16 at 1:00 in room 120 C on numismatic research at the National Archives. This will be a fascinating look at the challenges and discoveries through Rogerâ€™s extensive experiences.

            Our General Meeting held Friday, August 17 at 11:30 in room 117 will include the announcement of The Asylum author award winners. We are also looking forward to a timely presentation by numismatic literature dealer, David Fanning, discussing the current state of the numismatic literature market. As numismatic literature is going through a digital transition, this topic should be of considerable interest to all bibliophiles. Our all-important benefit auction will conclude the General Meeting. I would like to give a special shout-out to our generous members who are donating items for the auction and to all of our enthusiastic bidders who will ensure its success.

            This year we have renewed our tradition of hosting an NBS club table. The table will be located near literature dealers Charles Davis and Kolbe & Fanning. We will be displaying a variety of choice items from Fridayâ€™s benefit auction. We hope everyone will have an opportunity to stop by the table to visit and receive a complimentary NBS bookmark. This will be a great chance to connect with fellow literature enthusiasts and share your thoughts and ideas for the betterment of the NBS.

            Until we meet in Philadelphia, may your numismatic library provide investigation, discovery and most of all, enjoyment.
