The latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is Joe Levine's Presidential Coin & Antique Co. catalogs, a marvelous resource of
information on medals and tokens. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. -Editor
The Newman Numismatic Portal (NNP), with the kind permission of Joe Levine, has scanned the entire run of Presidential Coin & Antique
Company (PCAC) sale catalogs. Dating back to 1969 and currently numbering 85 sales, the PCAC series offers a superb array of exonumia, expertly
catalogued and engagingly presented.
The first sale in 1969 modestly announced “the first of a series of mail bid auctions I plan to conduct,” and the extensive list of
Civil War tokens served as the beginning of even greater things to come. The series in total numbers over 8,000 pages. The Newman Portal
acknowledges David Schenkman and Bob Julian for loaning copies of the PCAC catalogs for scanning.
When I approached Joe with the idea back in January, he had a quick one-word response: "Sure!" When he got a look at the
digitized archive, he had another one-word response: "WOW!" Exonumists will be wowed themselves perusing this material. Thanks
so much for making this trove widely available to the numismatic community! We're all the richer for it. -Editor
