Non coin dealers?

I was just wondering if there is a certain person or dealer that specializes in things like old magazines, original commem holders, etc. Basically somebody that doesnt sell much coins but everything else. I would like to find somebody that does and chat with them.

    Exonumia related to Classic Commems is fairly popular; I've seen it offered by several coin dealers.

    There are several dealers who deal exclusively in numismatic books, auction catalogs and copies of periodicals (such as Numismatic Scrapbook, etc.). At least one of them is a member here.

    Coin dealer Bill Shamhart also deals in really impressive exonumia (Mint deposit receipts, plaster models for coins, etc.)

    Perhaps you can be more specific about what you're looking for?

    Larry Shepherd used to do a lot with classic commem packaging... not sure if he still does.

    If the condition is decent, I will make a fair offer.

    If you're looking for a specific article and you know in which issue it is in, you might ask if the ANA Library will make a photocopy for you (assuming you're a member, of course).

    If you don't know which issue it's in, you can look for it in their Periodical Index.

    If you're near NYC, you can visit the ANS library and make a copy yourself - you don't even have to be a member, although you do have to make an appointment.

    If you want to buy the issue of the magazine, there are at least a couple of numismatic literature dealers who can probably help you.

    If you do choose to purchase a copy, be very careful. The 1936 Scrapbook issues were reprinted and are hard to tell from the originals. A good lit dealer should be able to help you.

    If all you're after is the info, then just get a photocopy from the ANA/ANS.
