NEW BOOK: NUMISMATICS OF THE BORDERLAND

A new book cataloging the numismatics of the U.S. / Mexico border is now available to the public. Numismatics of the Borderland: The El Paso / Juarez & Las Cruces Region 1st Edition by Jason Alan Elwell is a comprehensive literary approach that tells the story of where two countries and three states meet and their shared numismatic history.

Within the 220 pages of this hardback book, over 950 images can be viewed. All numismatic items have unique identification numbers, specifications, and descriptions. All listed items are documented with actual-sized / full-color imagery set in high resolution (unless otherwise noted). Also featured within this book are historical photographs and documents that help the reader better understand the context of borderland numismatics.

   

 

   

Initially, this book started as a way to catalog over half a century of International Coin Club of El Paso, Inc. numismatics, but the author soon realized there was a greater need to document many other borderland-related items that are seemingly unknown to the outside numismatic community. While the meat and potatoes of Numismatics of the Borderland: The El Paso / Juarez & Las Cruces Region 1st Edition is about El Paso, Texas, some of these items easily cross-reference into Juarez and Las Cruces. It is with the author's hope that all who pick up a copy of this book will learn about the borderland.
