HOMREN NUMISMATIC POSTCARDS ON NNP

Another recent addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is my collection of numismatic postcards. There are image galleries featuring cards issued by clubs, Stack's, other dealers, and individual collectors. Other galleries cover cards with images of U.S. Mints, Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Treasury, plus a group of cards and correspondence of St. Louis dealer G. E. Sanguinetti, c. 1940.

The cards are mostly from the 1940s through the 1980s. Many came from the holdings of James O. Sloss of Beaver, PA. I bought his numismatic library after his passing.

Many thanks to NNP summer intern Garrett Ziss who imaged the collection of some 600 pieces and wrote up all the catalog data. That was a ton of work! Here are a few selections. -Editor

Dave Lange writes:

"That's a great collection---especially the coin dealer postcards. My favorites are the ones from Gimbels. I'm trying to acquire an imprinted catalog from each of the stores in the Minkus/Friedberg chain of coin and stamp franchises. I have 20+ of the 38 possible entries."
