Hi Dickson,
Congratulation on the opening of the Dickson Niew Collection Corner.
I bought a copy of the above from a used bookstore in Canada. Written on the back of the front page " Reviewed(or received) from Saran S personal copy Nov 15, 1976". See pictures attached.
Wonder it is the same book shown in the picture in your blog. http://dniewcollectors.blogspot.com/2011/07/saran-singh-numismatist-author-ii.html . Saran S met Remick in Quebec in Now 1976.

Mr Saran Singh was very excited when he holds the book.He said never cross his mind that he can be still alive to hold this book after 35 years parted with it. He personally presented this book to Jerry Remick in 1976 minus his signature.
After a simple but historical and memorable moment of Mr Saran Singh putting his signature on the book,we went for lunch.
They were really enjoy both the discussion and the lunch.

Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks to you for arranging the meeting and publishing the article on your blog.
I like to thank Saran Singh for autographing the book and providing me with a picture of the handover of the book to Jerry Remick and a photocopy of Canadian Coin News, dated 17 January 1977 by Jerry Remick on his review of the book
This book is very special. It has a well-documented history. Very seldom can we trace the history and the past owners of a book. All this documents now form part of the book.
With the complete signatures of the 4 co-authors and renowned numismatics Jerry Remick, this book is now highly collectible.

That will be a real collector item. A complete signature of all the author. Mr. Choo is a real internet antique hunter.

Hi Lunaticg,
ReplyDeleteIs sure a collectable item.Was a Guru Saran Singh's personal copy.Although now it is not with him but is very near to him,just few kilometers away!Haha!
Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteWow, what a historical piece of numismatic item.
A gathering of all the great numismatists immortalized in a great book.
Reminds us of those chinese paintings by great artists, having their best masterpieces commended by other great artists.
This book should go down as a part of our numismatic heritage.
Thanks Dickson :)
