This week we open with information about four new numismatic books and a question about a fifth. Questions from readers dominate the rest of the issue, on topics as diverse as proof large cents, the symbolism of Athena and Minerva, and premiums paid for postage currency and fractional currency.

To learn more about Abraham Lincoln's last check, the Bibliotheque historique de la ville de Paris, and coins that have rewritten the history of Jerusalem's Western Wall, read on.Have a great week, everyone!
