NEWMAN PORTAL EXCEEDS 25,000 DOCUMENT MARK

The Newman Portal this week passed the 25,000 document milestone. The 25,000th document added was The Complete Guide to Barber Quarters, 2nd edition, published byDLRC Press (David Lawrence Rare Coins) in 1994. This particular copy was David Feigenbaum's (DLRC founder) personal copy and was loaned for scanning by John Brush, President ofDLRC. This volume provides an overview of the Barber quarter series, details major varieties, pricing history, and describes diagnostics for key issues such as the (commonlyforged) 1901-S. Today this study is continued through the journal of the Barber Coin Collectors Society.

The 25,000+ documents on Newman Portal comprise over 2 million pages. Among the collection is the largest group of digitized U.S. Mint material from the National Archives(nearly a quarter million pages), and almost 8,000 auction sale catalogs with nearly complete coverage of the auction catalogs listed in John Adams' United States NumismaticLiterature (2 vols., 1982, 1990), scanned primarily at the American Numismatic Society library. In addition we host back issues of numerous collector organizations andsocieties.

We're not stopping there! Work continues on the (seemingly endless) Eric P. Newman research papers, the David Lisot video library, and the contributions of a large number ofprivate authors and organizations who continue to build Newman Portal through their generous donations of digital content and printed material.
