NEWMAN PORTAL DIGITIZES THE BRASHER BULLETIN

The latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is the Brasher Bulletin, the journal of the Society of Private Pioneer and Numismatics (SPPN). Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. -Editor

brasherbulletin2010soci_0001 This week’s featured item on the Newman Portal is The Brasher Bulletin, the journal of the Society of Private and Pioneer Numismatists (SPPN). The run on the Newman Portal spans the period from 1988 (volume 1) through 2014. While much of the public mindshare is focused on pricier items such as territorial gold coins and assay bars, the Brasher Bulletin broadens its coverage to include all numismatic items of western Americana, such as fractional gold pieces and 19th century tokens. The Newman Portal wishes to thank Don Kagin, SPPN president, for his assistance with his project, and Wayne Homren, for providing his set for scanning.


brasherbulletinv1n01soci_0001 I recall attending one of the first (if not THE first) meetings of SPPN at an ANA convention. I've been a member from the beginning. Also in attendance was Walter Breen. As we went around the room introducing ourselves and stating our collecting interests, Walter said, "I collect information." While Walter had other less savory interests, his affinity for information is shared by all numismatic bibliophhiles.

Although I don't collect pioneer gold, I've enjoyed reading every issue of The Brasher Bulletin, and saved them all these years while I waited for computer technology to catch up. I'm grateful that the club agreed to share this great information with the world through the Newman Numismatic Portal. Thanks! -Editor
