Hispanic Society Sues ANS
Apologies for the absence; blogging will be lighter, but will certainly continue.
–
The American Numismatic Society is being sued by the Hispanic Society for the return of thousands of valuable coins which had been “on permanent loan” to the ANS. In general, we tend to be suspect of these kinds of arrangements, as there is always a chance the terms will be altered by one of the parties at a later date, leading to legal troubles and lawsuits.

If you want to take time off blogging after something like that, no one will complain.

If the previous comment went through, you don’t need to post this.
I hope you are alright after falling into that mine.

Hope everything is alright.
This doesn’t really belong in a museum and Numismatist blog but I know you also like chess:

The game is underwater speed chess. The board is on the bottom of a pool and can all the time you want to make your move but only one breath per move. Ah, you can breath on the surface as much as you want but once you dive to see the board, you have to make your move.

Thanks for the links and the kind words, Brian! Yes, things are all right–just far too busy at the moment! I think I’ll have some more posts soon, though. How have you been? Send me an email when you can.
All the best,
Nathan
