NEWMAN PORTAL SCANS KELLY’S COINS AND CHATTER

The Newman Numismatic Portal has scanned a comprehensive run of  Kelly’s Coins and Chatter. The house organ of Dayton, OH dealer Jim Kelly, Coins and Chatter follows the publication model established in the 19th century by Ebenezer Mason and other dealers – coins for sale, occasional graphics to add visual appeal, all interspersed with numismatic gossip and bits of hard news.

These publications presaged the general interest periodicals of the mid-20th century (Coin World and others) and demonstrated an appetite for numismatic information outside of terse coin listings. The serial numbering of Coins and Chatter is an unsolved mystery to us, and we invite readers to help fill gaps or clarify our ordering.
