Keith N. Kelman who also ran a dealership International Numismatica Corp. wrote the first book on Standing Liberty Quarters in 1976. Jay Cline's first edition book on SLQ's was published afterward in which Kelman is accredited. I never recall Kelman's name being mentioned at shows or in print in the 1980's as I was already messing with SLQ's. Thanks in advance for any info! image

    Keith has been absent from the coin business for many years, and still still owns an art gallery in La Jolla, CA. He used to handle very nice quality coins.

    Here is the contact information, which was available through a search: 858-459-3490. Email: info@knathangallery.com

    Keith was at the Feb. Long Beach show.

    I did business with him in the 70's, and
    it was great to see him after so many
    years - talkin' about those days in the
    coin bizz.

    He's still in La Jolla with an art gallery, etc.
