Bowers & Merena's The Coin Collector on Newman Portal
The 1990s represented heady times for the numismatic firm of Bowers & Merena, with the Eliasberg and Bass sales leading the way. Bibiliophiles were richly treated as well, with a steady stream of books from Q. David Bowers in addition to the house organs Rare Coin Review and The Coin Collector. Newman Portal has recently digitized The Coin Collector, a 144-issue run published from 1994 to 2003. This tabloid-sized emission was primarily a vehicle for fixed price sales but also included research articles and other features. Few runs seem to have survived, as most collectors discarded copies after checking for items of interest.
Newman Portal acknowledges Joel Orosz for loaning his run for scanning, as well as Jennifer Meers at Stack's Bowers who provided several missing issues. We are also grateful to Collector's Universe, the copyright holder, for making this content available for full-view.
