The John Burns Reference Library was a popular gathering spot during the recent American Numismatic Association National Money Show held the lastweekend of March in Pittsburgh PA. The donation container yielded $155. This may not seem to be very much money but it helps PAN, the librarymanager, with library up-keep costs and supplies.

Author John Highfill donated a copy of his two-volume set of The Comprehensive U.S. Silver Dollar Encyclopedia. The 2017 latest edition is1,566 pages of images, charts, graphs and information covering the early Flowing Hair coins, Draped Bust, Gobrecht, Seated Liberty, Morgan, Trade andending with the Peace Dollar series.

John Highfill (past National Silver Dollar Roundtable President) and his wife Marlene (current NSDR Secretary) are often seen manning the NationalSilver Dollar Roundtable booth at the major national coin shows across the country. NMS show was no exception. Their booth was next to the BurnsLibrary at the National Money Show. They were both impressed with the traveling library concept that offers a space to sit, relax and browse throughthe 400+ volumes of numismatic books during the coin show.

John Highfill is also an ANA Governor and is currently running for re-election. His book is available for sale through Amazon, Barnes and Noble,eBay Books. It is also available in digital form. For more information email: oklahomacoin@cox.net
