N. NEIL HARRIS (1940-2019)

I was sorry to learn this week that N. Neil Harris passed away on Saturday, May 11th, 2019. Neil was editor of the American Numismatic Association publication The Numismatist from January 1974 through June 1988.

Neil was a sculptor and illustrator whose medallic work is cataloged in Dick Johnson's databank (linked below). He also wrote the catalog of ANA's convention medals and edited Robert Julian's Medals of the United States Mint, The First Century 1792-1891.

Pete Smith provided this sketch on Neil by Bill King from his "Who's Who in the Hobby" series as published in Numismatic News December 26, 1972. -Editor
