Whitman Publishing Co. WHITMAN NUMISMATIC JOURNAL. Volumes 1-5, complete, bound in five volumes. Racine, January 1964-December 1968. 12mo, matching maroon cloth, gilt; original printed paper covers throughout. Near fine. An important, if largely unappreciated and nowadays little-known, source of numismatic information on a wide variety of topics. R.S. Yeoman was editor-in-chief, Kenneth E. Bressett was managing editor and Neil Shafer was associate editor. Beyond these stalwarts, contributors included Q. David Bowers, Walter Breen, Zander Klawans, Eric Newman, R.W. Julian and Richard Kenney, among many others. Our main consignor bought these issues on the newsstand as they were published. They did much to fan the spark of his numismatic interest into a flame that continues to this day, revealing to him an entire world of numismatics beyond price guides and federal coins.
