You know you're getting old when the classic rock station starts playing tunes you've never heard before. Or maybe it's when your internet ads switch from "Meet hot singles in your area" to "Click here to learn more about blood pressure medication".

This week we open with an update from literature dealer Fred Lake, fixed price offerings from Baldwins, one new book, a new periodical issue and one book review.

Other topics this week include The Colonial Newsletter, the Twelve Caesars, the Glorious First of June medal, Jacob Perkins, under-researched areas of numismatics, toy money, colonial-era scrip notes, and the 1850 double eagle.

To learn more about the Pridmore sales, Parque Munich tokens, Banca Oriental coins, the Geoctroyeede West-Indische Compagnie, Francis Spinner correspondence, women on money and coin collecting conundrums, read on. Have a great week, everyone! Wayne Homren
