The E-Sylum:  Volume 6, Number 52, December 7, 2003, Article 30

FEATURED WEB PAGE

  This week's featured web page is a short section from
  Q. David Bowers' book, The History of United States
  Coinage.

  "In January 1895 the readers of The Numismatist were
  treated to an interesting article, "A Tour Among the Coin
  Dealers," by Augustus G. Heaton, a frequent contributor
  to The Numismatist and the person who had several years
  earlier advanced the interest in collecting mintmarks of
  United States coins by publishing a monograph on the subject."

  Dealers mentioned include J.W. Scott, David Proskey,
  Ed Frossard, Henry Chapman, J. Colvin Randall, Edward
  Maris, E. B. Mason, Jr., E. B. Mason, Jr., W. Von Bergen,
  Charles Steigerwalt, and Dr. George Massamore.  Interesting
  how information lives on in new forms - from Heaton's
  original article to Bowers' book, to a web site and now this
  email, 108 years later.
