WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM JULY 13, 2025





Last week readers got a bonus email - an announcement about the Archives International Auction 104.  That was a glitch that slipped through accidentally.  We don't sell our mailing list. We apologize for the confusion and additional email.



We're still working on a switch to a new email platform - MailChimp. 
We hope to complete this over the summer, and the switch should be seamless for readers with nothing to do on your part.



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. 



This week we open with the very sad news of the death of our co-founder,
a new numismatic literature sale, a book review, 
updates from the Newman Numismatic Portal, and more.



Other topics this week include collector Sarah Sophia Banks, Mehl's
Star Rare Coin Encyclopedia, the Congressional silver dollar, Half Cent books, medallists, the Farouk 1933 Double Eagle, the Lord Baltimore shilling, Ron Landis, Rick Springfield, auction previews, and money art.



To learn more about George F. Kolbe, Greek Overstrikes, the Wyon family of engravers, the IAPN Madrid Congress, the 1787 Brasher Doubloon repro, the American Bond Detector, Chinese gold bars, counterfeit Swiss Franc coins, 
and Notey McNoteface and the inherently unwell Frankendogs, read on. Have a great week, everyone!

Editor, The E-Sylum
