Ætheling Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Did you know; Britain used to have a chief engraver called Richard Yeo who worked at the Royal mint during the reign of George III. So you could say R S Yeoman had numismatics written all over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeoman's name. A Guidebook of United States Coins (the Redbook), by R.S. Yeomanpublished annually since 1946 A Catalog of Modern World Coin, by R.S. Yeomanfirst published in 1957 Current Coins of the World, by R.S. Yeomanfirst published in 1966 All of the above titles are from Whitman Publications, the people that brought us the wonderful Whitman folders! These are just a few titles that I have right here next to the computer. If you ever look through a Krause, you will often see countries that are still cataloged with "Y" numbers, which are from the above mentioned Catalog of Modern World Coins.
