   being issued from FAO headquarters in Rome.  I thank him for the wealth of information he has contributed to this page.

  About me: I am a second generation numismatist.

  My father (Joseph Newmark 1918-2008) sold U.S. Dollars under the name Edward's Associate.

    I thank A.N.A. librarian Nancy Green for providing the following Numismatic Scrapbook ads from the early 1960's.
These old ads may  be of interest, both to show the appreciation since that time, as well as to demonstrate the relative
scarcity  within the Morgan series. 

           Jun 1962.   - Note the prices on 1898-O, 1903-O, 1904-O, before bags of these dates were found.
          January 1963  This ad followed the discovery of bags of the previously VERY RARE 1903-0 $, and the scarce 1898-0 and 1904-O.
          October 1964 . Check the ad on the left: Morgan Dollar set, including 1889-cc, 1893-s, with 55 BU coins for under $1000.
