The latest additions to the Newman Numismatic Portal are the “Numismatics With Kenny” videos. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. -Editor
“Numismatics With Kenny” is a video series created by YN (young numismatist) Kenny Sammut of the Wilmington Coin Club. This series is now in its fourth year and numbers well over a hundred
videos, including video from ANA Summer Seminars and Wilmington Coin Club meetings.
Sammut’s videos capture, in a way that only video can do, the experiences of being a high-school aged collector. Videos are typically several minutes and range from unboxing the latest delivery of
coins received in the mail (who cannot identify with the excitement of doing this for the first time?) to interviewing other YN attendees of the ANA Summer Seminar. A trip to the local coin store
might also be found, or an explanation of the ANA’s “Coins for A’s” program. Would that we had such a record from 50 or 100 years ago! The Newman Portal acknowledges Sammut for granting permission to
cross-post these videos, which are currently published on YouTube.
