A note from BCD: "The Age of Innocence in Ancient Numismatics" would be a better, albeit "posthumous" title for this periodical that paved the way for collective thinking amongst a colony of enthusiastic West Coast pioneers in ancient coin collecting. Today it looks and sounds rather unsophisticated but to us, the over 70's, it is pure nostalgia.
