Newman Book with Ed

PAN board chairman Donald Carlucci made a Burns Library book donation at the PAN Spring Coin Show. Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman is researched & Written by Leonard Augsburger, Roger W. Burdette & Joel Orosz and edited by James Halperin. Burns Library curator Ed Krivoniak holds the donated copy.

Heritage Capital Corporation description:

The Life of Eric P. Newman “Researched, written and edited by titans in the numismatic field, Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman, is an expansive biography. The book comprises 400+ pages of memorable stories suffused with fascinating illustrations and documents, all chronicling the admirable life of Newman, now 104 years young.

"In 43 chapters, Truth Seeker traces Newman's world-class collection from its inspiration - when his grandfather gave him an 1859 Indian head copper-nickel cent - to explaining the theory behind Newman's favorite coin. The history and content of his renowned and unparalleled collection, which he donated to charitable causes, would alone have been more than enough to fill the pages. Yet this work also profiles those who influenced him, both allies and adversaries, alongside the intellect, ethics, drive, and eternal optimism of a highly accomplished philanthropist who led his beloved hobby out of its own dark ages.”

Update: Eric is now 106 years young! -Editor
