SHOW AND TELL
One very infrequent feature of The E-Sylum is "Show and
Tell," where subscribers are invited to write about new
acquisitions for their libraries. If you have something you'd
like to share with us, please write.A few new additions to my own library are things I've
wanted for some time. They're not excessively rare, just
things I somehow hadn't come across at the right price.First is a copy of Bauman L. Belden's "Indian Peace
Medals Issued in the United States," a 1927 ANS
publication. It's out of date now, but still interesting.Next is an original copy of Ebenezer Gilbert's 1916
work on "The United States Half Cents." It's ex-library,
but the "JUL13 1917" datestamp provides added
proof that it is indeed an original.Finally, something I once sold to a friend who needed
one for reference - that was a decade ago and I guess
I've been too "thrifty" to buy another at the retail price:
The 1967 reprint of Dalton & Hamer's "The Provincial
Token Coinage of the Eighteenth Century."- 2002-12-15
