Edited first by Frossard and then by Proskey, contains a wealth of useful content.” Scott’s Coin Collector’s Journal is one of the great nineteenth-century American numismatic periodicals. While publications like Frossard’s Numisma may be more entertaining to read, the Coin Collector’s Journal provides more solid numismatic information on a wide variety of topics than any other commercial publication of the day.
