Numismatic Bibliomania Society
Coin Collector Journal Survey

We all know that Wayte Raymond CCJ issues from the 1950's are common right? The first 4 years are common in publishers cloth and the others are scarce but not rare and not particularly valuable, right?

We all know that all the Scott's CCJs from the 1870’s and 1880's are equally scarce, Volumes 1-4 are fairly common, Volumes 5-12 are all equally scarce and the only rare one is Volume 13, right?

Help us figure this out. We are collecting population data on bound volumes and loose issues for both series of Coin Collector’s Journals, the Frossard-edited Scott’s volumes from the 1870’s and 1880’s and the Wayte Raymond versions from the 1930’s-1950’s.

We plan to publish headlines in the e-Sylum and articles in the Asylum. Please help us as much as possible at least with bound volumes, also let us know if you know of hoards, have any data on print runs or anything else that might be interesting. We will not release any information on individuals or their collections, but hope to provide statistical analysis of scarcity or rarity of volumes and issues.

We are sending out data sheets in Excel format and use that if you can, but please send your data any way that's easy for you
