Today’s guest is journalist and historian Eric Brothers who is breathing new life into numismatic writing. His recent articles have appeared in Financial History and since 2006 he has written regularly for the Numismatist. The ANS published his debut article in ANS Magazine in 2022, “The Sham of American Bimetallism”, and he is currently working on more eye-opening features for us in 2023. We talk about the rigors of numismatic research, examples of “macronumismatic” writing, and Eric’s writing process. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the craft of numismatic publication.
