MORE ON HOLLAND WALLACE

Dave Lange submitted these notes on Holland Wallace. Thanks! -Editor

I noticed that the numismatic library of Holland Wallace is coming up for sale. That's a name that became familiar to me while researching and writing my book on Whitman products.

Wallace joined the company in 1966 and was with it for several years. He was a specialist in the numismatics of Latin America and contributed to both Whitman's world books and its monthly periodical, The Whitman Numismatic Journal. I see from the auction catalog that he also published his own lists of world coins starting 1976. Ken Bressett undoubtedly could tell readers much more.

I'm attaching the front page of the April-May 1966 issue of Whitman Coin Supply Merchandiser, a publication for the company's jobbers and coin dealers. I used this periodical extensively in researching my book, and it includes an announcement of Holland's hiring.

The article has some nice biographical information in addition to the great photo. The cover also includes a nice article by R. S. Yeoman lamenting the rise of the term "proof-like". Click on the image to see a higher resolution version on our Flickr archive. -Editor
