NUMISMATIC TIMES AND TRENDS

  Peter Mosiondz, Jr.writes: "For an article I intend to submit
  to Numismatic News on one of their acquisitions in the early
  1960's, I need help in locating information on a short-lived
  publication named "Numismatic Times and Trends".  I seem
  to recall the heavy use of red ink on the front page and
  columns slanted towards the younger/beginning collector
  which included me during those times.  Help in ascertaining
  the publication dates of the first and last issue would be
  helpful. I seem to recall its debut around 1961 and, if
  memory serves, I believe it lasted but a couple of years.
  Was it a weekly or bi-weekly?  My memory fades on this.
  Also, to the best of my knowledge, once Krause Publications
  bought the paper they ceased publication and merely merged
  some of the features into Numismatic News.  Copies of this
  publication that I could borrow would be appreciated and
  duly returned. I have placed "buy" ads in the commercial press
  over the years and have scoured numismatic literature auction
  catalogs but failed to locate any issues. Perhaps one of our
  readers can help in my research effort.  Thanks so much.
