Leave a comment

By Charles Morgan for CoinWeek …..   When pursued for maximum enjoyment, numismatics concerns not only the collecting and study of coins, medals, and other objects but also the collecting and study of things that might be considered the far-flung fringes. But it is in these “far-flung fringes” where books, pamphlets, newsletters, photographs, ephemera–even factoids and […]

First Read: U.S. Treasury Notes, 1812-1865: An Illustrated History

Leave a comment
