The One Hundred Greatest Items Of United States Numismatic Literature Rank: Number 45

Clain-Stefanelli 521, Davis 270

“Dedicated to the study of early American numismatics,” The Colonial Newsletter represents the best American approximation of the European numismatic discipline – focused on history and technical studies with little care for matters of the market. Currently edited by Gary Trudgen and published three times per year by the American Numismatic Society, the Newsletter is written to an academic standard, well illustrated and throughly footnoted. While the entire content may not exert a universal appeal, the specialist will consistently encounter well executed and indispensable research, though the simple 8.5” x 11” stapled format belies the value of the publication. A CD containing issues 104 through 138 (1997-2008) is available from the ANS.
