VIDEO: ANCIENT COIN COLLECTING THEMESThe latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is a video of the February 2026 meeting of the St. Louis Ancient Coin Study Group. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. -Editor St. Louis Ancient Coin Study Group Meeting Video The St. Louis Ancient Coin study group is dedicated to education regarding ancient and medieval numismatics. The group meets monthly in the St Louis, MO area, with meetings simulcast on Zoom. Meeting video for the St. Louis Ancient Coin Study Group is posted on their Facebook page and is also archived on Newman Portal. Doug Tomney's presentation from their February 19, 2026 meeting, "Ancient Coin Collecting Themes and Strategies" provides a useful overview of the subject and offers a collecting framework for those not necessarily familiar with ancient numismatics. Collections might be organized around history, geography, rulers, denominations, or even metallic composition. By illustrating the many paths available to collectors, the presentation demonstrates how ancient coins can serve as an entry point into the broader study of history and material culture.
