Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7847320, member: 105098"]it's going to be a struggle to find it. As far as Seaby's, they sell a book with the complete year by date (12 issues) and then there are the monthly issues that were released. I believe the reference is from the yearly issue, not a monthly issue or they would have indicated by month. Brian Gould (1972) Noel-Alexandre Ponthon: Medallist and Minaturist (1769/70-1835) Seaby’s Coin and Medal Bulletin 1972 Seaby London pp 312-319 the page number range, and I could be way off, but the issues are like 60 pages, so you'd likely be looking at June or July maybe August issue, which might be easier to come across looking for them individually in periodicals at your library. The other one is actually called "Spink & Son" Numismatic Circular, it's another obscure numismatic periodical out of London also, and won't be easy to track down. harder in fact than Seaby's. My guess is this reference is another annual compilation of the monthly issues. I could point you at some wrong things, Like this:<a href="https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/publisherdetail/528776?Year=1972&displayAmt=50" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/publisherdetail/528776?Year=1972&displayAmt=50" rel="nofollow">https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/publisherdetail/528776?Year=1972&displayAmt=50</a> Seaby's Feb and April Issues from 1972 as well as other years. but that's all I got to work with. you are welcome to dig through that website, the Newman Numismatic Portal at Washington University in St. Louis. Maybe there's a crumb or two in there somewhere without needing to go to a library and scouring periodicals which may come up empty since both are London periodicals. pretty sad when I can search your references and find where you got them from but not much luck finding the the writings referenced...LOL[/QUOTE]
