Clemy goes to Hessler
Posted by David

Congratulations to Flying Cloud Kowalski, known to most of us as Gene Hessler. He received the Clemy Award at the Numismatic Literary Guild's annual NLG Bash Aug. 9.

Keeping with tradition, the top annual award given by the NLG was announced by last year's winner, Barbara J. Gregory.

Earlier in the evening, Hessler had been given a rubber chicken, held aloft in the accompanying photo by Scott Travers while a laughing Dorothy Harris looks on. The rubber chicken presentation was likely a move intended to distract and confuse, as the Clemy announcement is normally a surprise to the recipient.

The complete list of NLG award winners will appear at the NLG Web site soon.

Chicago-district 2003A $2 sheets coming
Posted by David

Starting Wednesday, Aug. 8, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing will offer uncut and partial sheets of Series 2003A $2 Federal Reserve Notes from the Chicago Federal Reserve district.

Presumably there are no changes from the current prices being charged for 2003A $2 sheets from the San Francisco district:

32-note sheet, $90
16-note sheet, $55
8-note sheet, $33
4-note Sheet, $21

Aug. 8 happens to coincide with the American Numismatic Association's World's Fair of Money, so I'd expect to see the Chicago district $2 sheets at the BEP's booth there.
