THE COMMEMORATIVE TRAIL JOINS THE NEWMAN PORTALThe latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is The Commemorative Trail. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. -Editor The Commemorative Trail Joins the Newman Portal Lineup
The journals focus on the modern commemorative series and lend considerable color to the individual issues that one will not find in general sources such as the Guide Book of U.S. Coins. The Winter 1990 issue, for example, discusses plaster casts for the 1932 Washington “commemorative.” Originally conceived as a one-year commemorative coin celebrating the bicentennial of Washington’s birth, the chosen (John Flanagan) concept proved so well-received that a decision was made to replace the current (Standing Liberty) quarter design with Flanagan’s bust. Link to The Commemorative Trail on NNP: I was a subscriber for few years and always enjoyed reading the issues. I've wanted for some time to add a set to the Portal. Thanks to Anthony Swiatek who confirmed that the society is defunct. Alan Meghrig answered my call in The E-Sylum and with no small effort pulled together his set from storage and shipped it to St. Louis for digitization. Thanks to all involved, including students and staff at Washington University in St. Louis. -Editor  Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
