Newman Portal Search Hints

Newman Portal searches from the home page are exact text only. If you enter multiple words, it will search for that entire phrase.

If you wish to search for multiple terms all one page, but not in exact order, use the search form at https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/powersearchform. For example, if you wish to locate pages containing the words "Washington," "medal," "birth," and "centennial," enter the search:

ItemContent:Washington AND ItemContent:medal AND ItemContent:birth AND ItemContent:centennial

You can also use Google to search the Newman Portal site. From Google, enter, for example:

"washington medals" site:nnp.wustl.edu

Finally, you can search the Newman Portal document repository directly (https://archive.org/details/newmannumismatic), which, in some cases, will deliver additional results. On this page, check the box "Select text contents" before searching.

For additional assistance, please email us at NNPCurator@wustl.edu.

Saul Teichman Adds U.S. Rarities Censes to Newman Portal

Recently added to Newman Portal is a group of photo files compiled by Saul Teichman, which serve as condition censes for important rarities in the U.S. coinage series. This follows on to Teichman’s previous work on the U.S. pattern and territorial gold series. The collected work represents several hundred short monographs in total and serves to quickly identify the best coins of a given issue, or, in many cases, all the coins of a given issue. Teichman is a relentless researcher and has mined auction catalogs, institutional collections, and his own numismatic network to develop these richly detailed guides.

Newman Portal Adds FUN Convention Video

The Florida United Numismatists (FUN) winter and summer conventions are two of the most prominent events on the annual coin calendar, with the winter edition being especially attractive to collectors seeking warmer temperatures. Indeed, FUN describes itself as a “snow-free coin show.” With the assistance of FUN board member Steve Martin, Newman Portal has added 12 videos representing educational presentations from the January 2025 convention. Included are David Harper, former Numismatic News editor, presenting his “Ten Numismatic Predictions for 2025.” Harper reviews his performance on last year’s predictions (a rare bit of accountability in today’s world!) and issues a new set of prognostications for 2025. Among other sessions are Tom Walker speaking on the detection of cleaned coins, Bill Jones holding forth on early Lincoln cents, and John Zampedro presenting on “Errors 101.”
