MENDACITY SOUGHT
Myron Xenos published an article titled "Mendacity Revisited"
in the latest issue of our print journal, The Asylum. It deals
with a famous (among U.S. numismatic bibliophiles, anyway)
1992 hoax that had many believing that a Mother Lode of
valuable U.S. numismatic literature was soon coming up for
sale. The perpetrator has not come forth, and no one has
yet been able to conclusively prove who it was. As one of
the intended victims, I have my own theory. In his article
Myron asked everyone with an opinion to share it with him
for a follow-up Asylum article. Myron may be reached at:

"We will hunt down the scoundrel and give him a trophy,"
Myron writes. I got a great laugh out of the hoax when I
finally put the pieces together, and would like to
congratulate the culprit myself.- 2004-03-07
