and Paul Hollis.
Welcome aboard! We now have 7,248 subscribers.



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. 




Next week we'll attempt to switch over to MailChimp as our email provider.
On Monday August 4th, the 27 of you who are already on the MailChimp list should get a second copy of this email.  If that experiment works I'll work on moving everyone else over and we'll publish our first full MailChimp issue soon, likely August 10th.  Thank you for your patience during this upgrade.




This week we open with a 2025 NBS Symposium topic, three new books, a periodical, two obituaries, a retirement, updates from the Newman Numismatic Portal, and more.



Other topics this week include Greek coin art, Roman Republic coins, the Dickin Medal, Jacob Perkins, auction previews, the Common Cents Act, and paper money from Rhode Island, Pinetucky, and the Falkland Islands.



To learn more about the "Mendacious" prank, the Kunindas and their coins, 
 Judy, the prisoner of war dog, Q. David Bowers, John Mercanti, Holey Dollars, rims, Gobrecht silver dollars, Midgard Serpent pennies, Classical Numismatic Group, and Dealing With Nonsense Online, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
