WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM FEBRUARY 18, 2024





Thank you for reading The E-Sylum. If you enjoy it, please send me the email addresses of friends you think may enjoy it as well and I'll send them a subscription. Contact me at whomren at gmail.com anytime regarding your subscription, or questions, comments or suggestions about our content. 



Oops! Last week I somehow managed to run last year's ad for Steve Davis's annual Numismatic Auctions, LLC sale.  Sorry for the confusion.  I sure think I got it right this time, but who knows what else I bumbled.  Anyway, I included an extra copy of this year's ad in this week's email.  See the article elsewhere in this issue with some selections from the sale, and be sure to browse the lots. 



This week we open with two new books, updates from the Newman Numismatic Portal, notes from readers and more.



Other topics this week include the Morgan Dollar 1878 8 Tail Feathers (8TF) and 7 over 8 Tail Feathers (7/8TF) varieties, sample slabs, the American Numismatic Society, coin gift holders, the New Orleans Mint in the Civil War, clickbait numismatic headlines, pebbled surfaces, fixed price and auction previews, women on ancient coins, community currencies in Japan, and currency in science fiction.



To learn more about gold placer disks, gold pressed latinum, the Charleston Freedman Badge, the Numismatic Bug, Del Romines, Jim Johnson's "poor man’s Eliasberg collection," a gold 'Zodiac' mohur, the ‘Gothic’ crown of 1847, the Jewish Bath in Speyer medal, the Mint of Poland's levitating coin, and the "Rare Bicentennial Quarter Worth Nearly $49 Million USD," read on. Have a great week, everyone!
