The E-Sylum

"Each week I look forward to finding The E-Sylum in my inbox and digging through all the numismatic related topics. The hundreds of cumulative hours of work that goes into every newsletter is thoughtful, organized and well crafted - thank you for all your time and effort!"

-M.S., ANA member, Salt Lake City, Utah

I wanted to thank you for a wonderful publication. I look forward to The E-Sylum. I was able to pick up a great coin based on your posting in last night's issue. Thanks so much. Keep up the great work. "

With so much news and information spread across the internet it is nice to have a newsletter like The E-Sylum to consolidate and bring you the coin news of the week. We like knowing that readers can be notified of our auctions and updates by looking here instead of having to seek out the information themselves.

-Paul Montz, Stephen Album Rare Coins

Great E-Sylum issue. I laughed heartily at Joe Levine's inscription to John Ford. And the story about the teenager stealing the coins on display was also interesting. It seems every story, however trivial, is worth reading and well written. Your efforts are much appreciated.

"Each week The E-Sylum is my most eagerly awaited read. The brightest minds in numismatics contribute to it over such a varied range of topics. While numismatic literature is the driving theme, I find that peripheral anecdotes and objects still find ready acceptance. Since I collect and study items that pertain to the history of the numismatic hobby, I appreciate being able to share these with readers, and their inclusion often launches a variety of responses the following week that add to my own knowledge."

-David W. Lange, Lakewood Ranch, FL

What I like most about The E-Sylum is the scope. So many different areas are covered --- Ancient, Foreign, US. Coins, medals, paper money, books, and books about books; stories about collectors and their collections -- and everything is just so interesting.

My hobby is limited to U.S. Large Cents --- and just the year of 1794 because it has 69 distinct varieties. But I always look forward to your outstanding e-mail.

I live in Ireland and the nearest coin club is over 200 miles away from me. Still, I never feel isolated! Every Monday morning, I get to hang out with some of the finest numismatists from around the world through the pages of The E-Sylum which is by far the best numismatic publication out there. Got a question? Ask away. You're almost sure to get an answer - no matter what the topic! In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a friendlier, more knowledgeable group of people anywhere. And besides all that, it's free!

Darryl Atchison, F.C.N.R.S. (Editor of Canadian Numismatic Bibliography)

In just over twenty years, in an Internet environment swarming with noise, clutter, and confusion, the E-Sylum has emerged as a rock-solid haven for numismatic news, authoritative information, and remarkably productive crowdsourcing and dialogue. It's entertaining, at times provocative, and always thought-provoking–an invaluable meeting place akin to a fin de siècle Viennese café in the atrium of a numismatic research library nestled in the center of a twenty-story, ten-block museum.

–Dennis Tucker, Publisher, Whitman Publishing

As someone living in the UK, I greatly appreciate all the hard work that goes into compiling The E-Sylum and I very much look forward to reading each edition as it comes out.

-Martin Warburton, Stamford, England

The E-Sylum is the best online publication. It keeps people informed and interested and brings a desire to get more involved to being a better numismatist.
