Newman Portal Symposium Announces Schedule

NNP Symposium Logo The NNP Symposium, August 28-30, is now scheduled and includes a number of presentations of interest to NBS members:

David Fanning will present at 10AM (all times Eastern) on August 29 on “Ancient Coins in Early American Auctions.” Fanning has examined nearly every 19th century American auction catalog and analyzed each for ancient numismatic content, with special attention focused on plated catalogs. This will appeal to both ancient and American collectors, as Fanning uses the vector of ancient numismatics to learn more about American coin dealers during this period.

The NBS annual meeting is at 11AM on Friday, August 28. Attendees should register at the link below.

Joel Orosz and Len Augsburger will present at 5PM, August 29 on the first edition of Eric Newman and Ken Bressett’s The Fantastic 1804 Dollar. Whitman printed a limited number of copies of this book prior to the discovery of the King of Siam set, which was announced by David Spink and James Risk at the 1962 ANA Convention. Ken Bressett issued the famous “stop the presses” phone call as a result, but not before a few copies - destined to become collector’s items - were printed.

Our own Wayne Homren will speak at 3PM on Sunday, August 30 on J.S.G. Boggs, best described as a performance artist who created reproductions of legal tender in exchange for goods and services. Homren collects Boggs pieces and will provide a fascinating view of this so-called counterfeiter.
