Dix Noonan Webb Auction Sale Catalogs on Newman Portal

The auction catalogs of the UK firm Dix Noonan Webb, from 1991 to date, are now available on the Newman Numismatic Portal (NNP). While current catalogs are available electronically, sales in hardcopy form between 1991 and 2006 were scanned by NNP at the American Numismatic Society (ANS) library in New York. Dix Noonan Webb, a London firm, specializes in orders, decorations, medals, and militaria. Although not focused on American numismatics, this firm often handles material of interest to American collectors, such as Betts medals and Washingtonia. A July 2006 sale featured the ever popular Libertas Americana medal (Paris Mint gold restrike, 2000), which sold for £620 ($830 at current conversion rates).  Newman Portal acknowledges Peter Preston-Morley of Dix Noonan Webb, and ANS librarian David Hill for their assistance with this project. Link to Dix Noonan Webb catalogs on Newman Portal: https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/auctioncompanydetail/512703
