If you collect early American coins, you probably know the name of Eric P. Newman who died yesterday at the age of 106. I learned the news from the Coin Talk website and noticed that the Wikipedia page had been updated to provide that information. Here are links to the Eric P. Newman Collection and the Eric P. Newman Portal at Washington University, St. Louis.
The RCNA (Royal Canadian Numismatic Association) is also reporting the death, with link to the NY Times obituary.
