The latest additions to the Newman Numismatic Portal are the John J. Ford, Jr. collection auction sale catalogs. Project Coordinator
Len Augsburger provided the following report. Thanks. -Editor
With the kind permission of Stack's Bowers Galleries, the Newman Numismatic Portal will be scanning the entire run of Stack's catalogs from
1935 to date. This is an ambitious project including over 600 individual catalogs, and the Newman Portal is grateful to Brian Kendrella, Q. David
Bowers, and Harvey Stack for their support in this endeavor.
The first group, comprising the 24 Ford catalogs (2003 - 2013) is now available on the Newman Portal. The Ford sales encouraged collectors to
explore American numismatics beyond federal coinage, and the superb offering of medals, colonials, and paper money revitalized interest in many of
these areas. Meticulously catalogued by Michael Hodder and others, these catalogs are essential references detailing the wider panorama of American
numismatics, and, through the courtesy of Stack's Bowers, are now just a few keystrokes away.
