NEWMAN PORTAL SCANS B. MAX MEHL AUCTION CATALOGS

The latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is a complete set of B. Max Mehl Auction Catalogs. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. Thanks. Shown is Mehl’s Fiftieth Anniversary sale, #113, 5/23/1950. -Editor

B. Max Mehl was one of the most important catalogers of the first half of the 20th century, with 116 numbered sales listed in Adams and Gengerke. The Newman Portal has digitized the entire set and these catalogs are now available online. Although considered more businessman than scholar, Mehl consistently attracted strong consignments and these catalogs rightfully belong in a core library of American numismatic literature. Adams rated 29 of these sales, fully a quarter of the set, at the A- level or higher. The Newman Portal acknowledges a generous collector for loaning this series for scanning, which was performed in St. Louis at Washington University.
