FROSSARD OBITUARY SOUGHT

"I'm trying to gather together some info on Ed. Frossard, the nineteenth-century American coin dealer. George Kolbe gave me some info, but I don't have access to the necessary volumes and I was wondering if someone out there can help.

I need to find his obituary. It ran in the April 1899 issue of the AJN and, I believe, the issue of The Numismatist of the same month. If anyone would have a copy of either and would be willing to look up the info I need, I'd appreciate it greatly if they would respond to me. Thanks."

Your editor had technical difficulties reaching his AJN shelf. There are currently boxes of books piled six high in front of it, and technically, that's a problem. But balancing on one leg was enough to retrieve the 1899 volume of The Numismatist. A photocopy will be forwarded to Mr. Fanning. If you have the desired AJN issue, or other information on Ed Frossard, please contact him at this email address: fanning32@earthlink.net
