Henry Evanson We highlight one of his videos each week in The E-Sylum. Here's one from 1986 with Motion Picture operator Henry Evanson of Boston, who joined the ANA in 1929 and speaks about coin collecting in the Great Depression. He ran a mail order business through Numismatist ads and built three collections of U.S. dimes from 1796-date. He knew dealer B. Max Mehl. In 1933 he bought 1,500 uncirculated 1909-S VDB cents for 25 cents apiece and sold the group for 35 cents apiece. Bibliophiles will appreciate his advice that old numismatic literature is priceless. -Editor
