ANA CONVENTION NOTESYour Editor had a great time at the recent ANA convention. It was nice to see so many of our subscribers and put some faces to the names. The NBS general meeting was well attended and very enjoyable. A Friday afternoon visit to the American Numismatic Society library was a short but interesting diversion. I had no agenda in mind and simply browsed through the pamphlet files for amusement, making copies of a handful of items for my own files, including: A 1953 newsletter about Encased Postage Stamp literature published by F. H. Ames, Jr. of Richland, Washington. A September 1869 offprint from a Banker's Magazine by William E. DuBois on "Propositions for a Revised System of Weights and a Restoration of Silver Currency." A June 1952 article by E. R. H. Dicken on "Scottish Beggar's Badges" A May 1961 Coin World interview with John J. Ford on the menace of numismatic counterfeits made by the spark erosion process. An 1893 "Memoir of Jeremiah Colburn, A.M." by John Ward Dean AM.Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
