NEWMAN NUMISMATIC PORTAL SCANS THE CLARION

Len Augsburger is the Project Coordinator for the Newman Numismatic Portal. He submitted the following note about the digitization of a new group of journals from the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists (PAN). Thanks! -Editor

The Clarion on Internet Archive

The Newman Portal has scanned a substantial run of The Clarion, the journal of the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists. This particular group spans the period 1985-2006, and the Newman Portal will be filling out the remainder in the near future. While state publications tend to focus on show news, advertising, and social events, The Clarion has featured a steady stream of useful, original material. In particular, The Clarion leverages its proximity to the U.S. Mint, and, within its pages, we find interviews of Mint engravers such as Gilroy Roberts [image attached, from November 1990, vol. 7, no. 3] and Elizabeth Jones.

The Newman Portal wishes to thank Tom Uram, PAN President, and Pat McBride, PAN Treasurer, for facilitating presentation of this content on the Newman Portal.
