Nunn, C. Hearn [editor]. THE NUMISMATIC MAGAZINE. A MONTHLY JOURNAL DEVOTED ENTIRELY TO COIN COLLECTORS. New Series Volumes XIV–XVI (Bury St. Edmund’s, 1899–1901), complete in 36 numbers. 12mo, original printed paper covers. A couple of earlier issues also present. Paper covers present, but usually detached; some chipped. Interior pages generally near fine. A scarce British publication, and apparently an influence on George Heath’s publication of the same name founded in the United States two years after the first appearance of this title. Nunn was the founder of the Numismatic Association, and the tone and general approach of the two publications is quite similar: serious in their devotion to the hobby, but at the same time chatty and a bit light. Nunn’s earlier issues, preceding the Heath Numismatist, commented regularly on American numismatics. By the time of these volumes, Nunn seems to have allowed that area to fall under Heath’s purview, and his Numismatic Magazine primarily focuses on British coins and medals. The covers were printed on highly acidic paper that has not aged well; the interior pages are happily preserved on better paper.
