This issue of The E-Sylum is a day late due to this weekend's coin show sponsored by the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists, where yours truly got away from the keyboard Sunday to spend most of the day packing and hauling exhibit cases, with the much-appreciated help of subscribers Larry Dziubek and Richard Crosby.

The day started out with a couple of book deals. Thomas Raymond Hipschen, the B.E.P. portrait engraver, purchased from me a duplicate copy of Griffith's "The Story of American Bank Note Company", paying in part with a new $50 bill, which I promptly asked him to autograph. Meanwhile, jsg boggs purchased a copy of Zvi Stahl's "Jewish Ghettos' and Concentration Camps' Money" from John Burns in exchange for a Boggs bill.
