DIX NOONAN WEBB CATALOGS ON NEWMAN PORTAL

The auction catalogs of Dix Noonan Webb are the latest additions to the Newman Numismatic Portal. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. -Editor

The auction catalogs of the UK firm Dix Noonan Webb, from 1991 to date, are now available on the Newman Numismatic Portal (NNP). While current catalogs are available electronically (and have been added directly), sales in hardcopy form between 1991 and 2006 were scanned by NNP at the American Numismatic Society (ANS) library in New York. Dix Noonan Webb, a London firm, specializes in orders, decorations, medals, and militaria.

Although not focused on American numismatics, this firm often handles material of interest to American collectors, such as Betts medals and Washingtonia. A July 2006 sale featured the ever popular Libertas Americana medal (Paris Mint gold restrike, 2000), which sold for £620 ($830 at current conversion rates). Newman Portal acknowledges Peter Preston-Morley of Dix Noonan Webb, and ANS librarian David Hill for their assistance with this project.

The Commemorative Trail

Last week I asked if anyone had a run of The Commemorative Trail we could scan for the Newman Portal. This excellent periodical was produced by the Society for United States Commemorative Coins (SUSCC), which was in existence from 1983 to 2011. Alan Meghrig answered the call and supplied an inventory of two cubic feet of material. A few issues may be missing, but Anthony Swiatek confirmed the end date for us: "The records that I finally located indicate Vol. 28 #2&3 was the last Commemorative Trail printed for the Society." Thanks, guys. -Editor
