A subset of The Colonial Newsletter

Dear CNL Cyberspace Patrons:
Welcome to the first issue of CNL Online. This new subset of The Colonial Newsletter is designed to facilitate communications regarding Early American "Colonial" Numismatics (prior to the year 1793) between CNL Patrons who find Cyberspace just as interesting as Numismatics. It will be an irregular publication which ye Editor will transmit from time to time as the spirit moves him!
First of all--CNL No. 99 (April, 1995) was mailed on 16 May 1995 and should reach you within the next week or so. We use 3rd class bulk mailing (pre-sorted non-profit rate) and our experience has been that an issue takes from five days to as much as three weeks for delivery. The issue contains a number of very interesting articles including a Tricentennial Review on the "God Preserve . . ." Elephant Tokens by Frank Steimle and "Notes from a New Patron and Relic Hunter" by Tom Kays, plus some research notes from John Kleeberg on the What'sit State Coppers, just to name a few. Our regular features "from the INTERNET", "The Editor's Roundtable" and our Letters column are augmented by a new series "Reminiscences".
Secondly--CNL No. 100 is coming soon! The editorial deadline is 30 June 1995 and we invite each of our CNL Cyberspace Patrons to submit a short article or comment for inclusion in that issue in our "from the INTERNET" feature. Nothing fancy is required--just a comment or so that may be of interest to our unconnected Patrons <g> and that might encourage them to explore the world of Numismatic Cyberspace along with "the rest of us".
We now have 36 Patrons who have identified their e-mail addresses for us and they are all tabulated in the distribution or cc: list for this document. If you decide that you do not wish to receive CNL Online, or have your e-mail address identified, please advise ye Editor and we will change our procedures to accommodate your wishes. In addition, we have also learned, very quickly, that e-mail addresses are much like the weather, subject to change at any moment!
Today the March 1995 issue of The C4 Newsletter (Colonial Coin Collectors Club, Inc.) arrived in ye Editor's mailbox. Bob Metzger had advised us that numerous production and print shop problems had delayed completion and unfortunately the issue did not make it to the EAC convention, as had been planned. And--Bob asks "If you went to the EAC Convention in April, please share your experiences with those of us who weren't so lucky!" Highlights of the issue include an article by James E. Skalbe "The Dating and Emission Sequence of the Oak and Pine Tree Coinage of Massachusetts Bay" and suggests a new chronology for Massachusetts Silver. Those of you who may be interested in joining the C4 organization should contact the C4 Secretary, John J. Kraljevich, Jr., RD 1 Murray School Road, Pottstown, PA 19464.
Ye Editor and wife have just returned from an Elderhostel two weeks in the North Carolina mountains. When we arrived back home we found the following message awaiting us from <coins@cobra.uni.edu> and are passing it along to our Patrons who may enjoy browsing through the World Wide Web (WWW). Let me know if you locate anything pertaining to Early American numismatics in any of these Web sites.
Tuesday April 25, 1995 from (James LaPlaine) via <coins@cobra.uni.edu>
"Here's the newest updated list of 21 coin related web sites that I have found or been notified of. If you have others to add to the list, please send them to me. Thanks, and enjoy." - Jamie
