DEWITT'S MONOGRAPH ON ALFRED S. ROBINSON

David Gladfelter writes:

For those interested in learning more about Alfred S. Robinson, see J. Doyle DeWitt's monograph published by the Connecticut Historical Society in 1968. It illustrates 22 medals and tokens commissioned by him, including the colonial copies, and lists 19 numismatic tracts that he wrote.

David Gladfelter adds:

The title illustration is the obverse of Adams-Miller CT 8, Robinson’s own token. The reverse of that token is his copy of the Higley 3d obverse (deer, VALUE • ME • AS • YOU • PLEASE). On the cover is a nicely embossed image of the token reverse, printed with a metallic copper ink. Besides copper (CT 8), the Robinson token comes in silver (CT 7), silver plated (CT 7A), brass (CT 9), white metal (CT 10) and copper-nickel (CT 11).

Besides tokens and medals, Robinson also published patriotic Civil War envelopes. Here’s one of them.

David Baldwin writes:

It is a small 28 page, 7 1/2 by 5 inch text that is filled with information and images. I picked mine up on eBay years ago for $10, I have seen one or two copies for sale subsequently.

Except for the unique Day, Griswold & Co. storecard, images of all the Robinson issues produced by the Lovetts can be seen on my website.
