Gleanings from Contemporary Newspapers
Many interesting stories relating to American numismatics may be found
in the pages of the newspapers of the day. This collection presents reprints
of many contemporary articles, editorials, and advertisements relating
to the coins, medals, tokens, and paper money of the United States. Each
item is accompanied by an explanation of its significance to numismatists
and historians. Where possible, references to numismatic books are provided.
This is not intended to be a complete record of all numismatic references
in contemporary newspapers. Such a work would fill many volumes. Rather,
the author has attempted to present a broad sample which may prove
of interest to fellow collectors and researchers.
