TWENTY-CENT BOOK STILL MISSING
Regarding Lane Brunner's quest for the Rupp work on
Twenty Cent Pieces, American Numismatic Association
Librarian Nancy Green rites: "The library had a copy of this
booklet but according to the shelf list it was lost in 1983.
(Yes, we still have the old card catalog and shelf list with
lots of helpful information.) There is a note on the card that
says, "privately published in a limited edition of seven
copies." Another note in Lynn Chen's handwriting says,
"No more copies."The library does have two copies of Paul Andersen's "The
Twenty-cent piece, an introduction to the series" (GB25.A6
1980, 13pp.). There was a Mr. Rupp in the membership
files but he is no longer a member and would be quite elderly.
So perhaps this illusive monograph can become the new
"Holy Grail" of numismatic literature. I will look for further
developments in The E-sylum."- 2004-09-26
