Newman Portal Adds Adolph Hess Catalogs Thanks to the diligent efforts of Lara Jacobs at the American Numismatic Society, Newman Portal now includes 131 auction sales from the German firm Adolph Hess, dated 1875-1914. Hess (1846-1912) launched his coin business in 1871 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and handled many important sales before selling his firm in 1894 to Louis Hamburger and his son-in-law, James Belmonte. Hamburger and Belmonte continued the business under the name Adolph Hess Nachfolger. The firm, today known as HessDivo, is currently based in Zurich. The site rnumis.com lists 240 Hess catalogs total and further links to scans from Gallica (the digital face of the French National Library) and the University of Heidelberg.
