The Society of Private and Pioneer Numismatics issued its inaugural e-newsletter version of its journal, Brasher Bulletin.

The inaugural e-newsletter includes the annual SPPN report from the annual meeting in August at the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money, which featured Karl Moulton speaking about his book, John J. Ford Jr. and the “Franklin Hoard.” The journal also features the second and final installment of Dan Owens’ article on pioneer Winslow J. Howard. Links are also provided to the first installment of Owens’ article on Howard.

Links are also provided on the SPPN’s new blog, which will serve as the home for all of the complete content of the newsletters, and to an online archive.

SPPN officers report that an annual printed issue of Brasher Bulletin featuring the year’s articles will be produced and mailed to members to enable them to keep a physical archive.
