Newman Portal Adds The Virginia Numismatist

With the permission of the Virginia Numismatic Association (VNA), Newman Portal has added The Virginia Numismatist for the period 1965 to 2012. Issues were scanned at the Library of Virginia in Richmond, VA under Newman Portal sponsorship. While including the usual updates on local numismatic events, the publication also presents numerous feature articles such as Richard Doty’s “Virginia Numismatics at the Smithsonian,” as found in the March 1999 issue. I also enjoyed Tom Kays’ “Digging up the First Federal Coins in Virginia” from the Summer 2003 issue. Newman Portal recognizes Tom Kays and Dave Ellison of the VNA, and Errol Somay of the Library of Virginia for their assistance with this project.Link to Virginia Numismatist on Newman Portal: https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/publisherdetail/527595
