HAPPY NEW YEAR NUMISMATIC TOKENS
One of the most frequently accessed references on Newman Portal is Pete Smith's Personal Tokens and Medals of American Numismatists, published in 2020. The popularity of certain documents on the Internet is sometimes somewhat of a mystery, but we've noticed that works that refer to many individual persons tend to run hot.
This volume has been accessed 8,386 times, indicating daily use by multiple people.
HAPPY NEW YEAR is a common theme on numismatic tokens. Indeed, of the approximately 8,000 tokens, medals and woods cataloged in Pete Smith's work, nearly 600 feature the inscription HAPPY NEW YEAR. Issuing dealers include Dottie Dow, Doug Fairbanks, Al & Sally Kirka, and a host of others.
