NEWMAN NUMISMATIC PORTAL SCANS PENNY-WISE

Our featured item this week is Penny-Wise, the journal of the Early American Coppers (EAC) club. The Newman Portal contains the issues from 1967 (the inauguration of the journal) through the year 2013. Penny-Wise is one of the premier specialty publications in American numismatics, with editor Harry Salyards’ column being a regular treat. Indeed, the Numismatic Literary Guild recognized Salyards’ efforts with an award at the 2016 ANA convention.

The Newman Portal is text searchable, and terms such as “strawberry leaf” or “Jefferson head” produce a good number of hits in Penny-Wise. This writer’s favorite large cent, the Sheldon-276, known for its seemingly random die rotations, is likewise discussed. A search on “S-276” uncovered a number of interesting articles on the subject. The Newman Portal acknowledges Bill Eckberg, EAC President, for his assistance with the project.
