  NUMISMATIC NOMENCLATURE
  

  On Mike's topic of numismatic terminology, George Kolbe
  signed his note thusly:
  

  "Respectfully, George Kolbe, Nb.
  [Numismatic Bibliophilologist]"
  

  CATALOGUE versus CATALOG
  

  Dick Johnson writes: "Catalogue is a proper term in
  England (and France). In America the proper term is
  CATALOG. For Americans to use the term CATALOGUE comes
  off a little ostentatious (read "show off"). Thank
  goodness however, we have no American dealers who
  COULD use the term SYLLOGE (which means "the
  systematically arranged contents of a collection").
  

  As for 'catalogues", George Kolbe confirms:
  "It's less serious if you pay for it. ;-)"
