AUDIO: HOW YEOMAN CHANGED COIN COLLECTING

The CoinWeek Podcast #150 is titled "How R.S. Yeoman Changed the Coin Collecting Hobby Forever." Check out the interview with Red Book Editor Emeritus Ken Bressett at the below link or on iTunes. -Editor

How RS Yeoman Changed Coin Collecting In this week's episode of the CoinWeek Podcast, editor Charles Morgan talks to longtime Red Book editor Kenneth Bressett on the career and legacy of Red Book creator and coin board innovator R.S. Yeoman.

Yeoman's ideas transformed the hobby from an academic pursuit to one with broad mainstream appeal. Whereas most numismatic books published before 1950 were printed in limited numbers, Yeoman's Red Book was an instant success and has gone on to sell tens of millions of copies and is updated annually. This year, we will see the publication of its 75th edition.

Bressett worked with R.S. Yeoman and probably knew him better than anyone in the industry and Charles asks him to share his insights into Yeoman's vision for the hobby and where Yeoman fits amongst the giants of 20-century numismatics.

Also in this episode, Charles and CoinWeek staff writer Chris Bullfinch discuss this week's new United States Mint product offerings and take a quick look at the rise and fall of the Redditors' silver bullion play.
