Hans M. F. Schulman Catalogs on NNP

Hans M. F. Schulman (son of Maurits, grandson of Jacques) was born in Holland in 1913 to a long line of coin dealers. He came to New York in 1939, apprenticed with Wayte Raymond, and soon went into business on his own. With a total of over 100 sales from 1940 to 1975, Schulman focused on world numismatics in a market dominated by collectors of American material. John Adams in United States Numismatic Literature, vol. 2, gives Schulman high marks for his facility with non-American materials, not surprising for a numismatist raised in European surroundings.The Newman Portal has posted 24 of 102 catalogs in the Schulman series, which are being scanned at the American Numismatic Society under the direction of ANS Librarian David Hill and Internet Archive Associate John Graffeo.
