WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM JULY 7, 2024

Many thanks to Garrett Ziss for finalizing this issue while I'm away on vacation!  It's helpful to have his assistance, and all of us are glad to have a backup trained and ready if ever needed.  



So where am I going, I hear you ask?  When I told NBS President Len Augsburger one day, he said "That's literally the last thing I thought I would ever hear coming out of your mouth."  Me, too.  I told him I was flying to Zurich for a Taylor Swift concert.



Our daughter and her best friend are Swifties and had trouble getting concert tickets. She asked if she could go to a show in Switzerland if they could get the tickets. Figuring that's unlikely, I said yes. Guess what - they scored floor seats and now we're touring Switzerland.
It's a great opportunity to bond with my daughter while she's home from college for the summer. There are actually seven of us going on this trip, which includes visits to both Geneva and Zurich with hiking and other sightseeing between.



See the earlier articles for Taylor Swift numismatic connections, including the below National Bank Note signed by her banker great-grandfather Archie Swift.
Who knows, maybe she'll be the next billionaire collector...


   

 

 






This week we open with three new books, two book reviews, a periodical, updates from the Newman Numismatic Portal, and more.



Other topics this week include Tyrants of the Nile, Mint engraver Christian Gobrecht, and ransom payment banknotes.



To learn more about rare coin die varieties, signers and printers of Confederate Bonds, collectors Mack and Brent Pogue, and the Judd-9 1792 Silver Disme study, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
