NEWMAN PORTAL SCANS FORD AUCTION SALE CATALOGS

The latest additions to the Newman Numismatic Portal are the John J. Ford, Jr. collection auction sale catalogs. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. Thanks. -Editor

johnjfordjrcolle0017stac_0007 With the kind permission of Stack's Bowers Galleries, the Newman Numismatic Portal will be scanning the entire run of Stack's catalogs from 1935 to date. This is an ambitious project including over 600 individual catalogs, and the Newman Portal is grateful to Brian Kendrella, Q. David Bowers, and Harvey Stack for their support in this endeavor.

The first group, comprising the 24 Ford catalogs (2003 - 2013) is now available on the Newman Portal. The Ford sales encouraged collectors to explore American numismatics beyond federal coinage, and the superb offering of medals, colonials, and paper money revitalized interest in many of these areas. Meticulously catalogued by Michael Hodder and others, these catalogs are essential references detailing the wider panorama of American numismatics, and, through the courtesy of Stack's Bowers, are now just a few keystrokes away.
