    FROM COIN HOLDERS TO COIN ART

    Mr. Anonymous wrote: "Okay. Dave Lange got in the last
    word last week. (But adding the state of Maryland is for sale,
    over and above the governor in that little satire the week before,
    added a ninth Degree of Separation -- from ?coin.?) What if,
    instead of collecting albums, bags, et al, we tuned our numismatic
    concentration inward. What six Degrees -- from ?coin? --
    would we find in the opposite direction?

    Coin - Metal Composition - Striking - Dies - Engraving -
    Artists - Art.

    If you studied one of these six Degrees wouldn't this be of more
    numismatic importance than coin albums? One book, one author,
    did just that! ?Numismatic Art in America? by Cornelius
    Vermeule. I even like this book's subtitle: ?Aesthetics of the
    United States Coinage.?
