Last month, I bought on eBay a lot of twenty COINage magazines (1972-1984) and in the February 1978 issue, page 17 there is a very interesting article written by Bob Wolenik and titled "He Deals In Coin Books". At that time Emil Nicholas Eusanio was working as an engineer at Rockwell, International and he was the owner of "San Fernando Book Co." in California.
Emil said: "I found the books were harder to find than the coins, so I never got around to purchasing the coins".
I was looking for information about Emil N. Eusanio and found that he was the son of Emil Eusanio (1902-1975) and Lucy Marrano (1908-2007) and both native from Italy (most likely from the Abruzzo region). His parents came from Italy to New York in 1905.
Emil N. Eusanio was a mechanical engineer graduated from the University of Buffalo (NY) generation 1946-1950. On October 13, 1973 he married Patricia L. Kinman in Los Angeles, California.
Numismatically, Emil was an associate member of the American Numismatic Society since 1967. In "The Asylum" Summer 1985 (page 13) he is listed as a new member of the NBS.
He was a member of the California State Numismatic Association (#3066) in 1976; The Society of Paper Money Collectors (#5092) in 1977 and the Numismatic Association of Southern California (#2223) in 1980.
With respect to The E-Sylum, he appeared as a new member in Vol. 5 # 36 (02 September 2002); Vol. 8 #44 (16 October 2005) and Vol. 18 #16 (19 April 2015).
Finally, I found an obituary of his passing in February 2022.
Back in my early collecting career I was aware of the San Fernando Book Co., but don't recall if I purchased any coin books there. Emil subscribed to The E-Sylum three times, perhaps due to email address changes. I don't see any submissions from him in the archive, and never met him in person that I'm aware of. Can any of our readers tell us more about him?
