Peter is passionate about coins and economic history and loves coin photography. After a lifetime of collecting, he decided to write a book about each of his collections, delving into the history behind the coins, and documenting his coin photographs.
So far, he has authored Notable Notes, Colonial History In Your Hands, Dow Jones by Peter Jones, Commemorative Coin Tales, The First Medals of America, The First Coins of the Americas, TREASURE!, Beautiful Banknotes of France, and with Prof. Cynthia Adams, Therapeutic Communication, now in its third edition.
All his numismatic books are available for download on the Newman Numismatic Portal. However, if you prefer tactile, real-life books with glossy pages, you can buy them here.
He is a life member of ANA, NENA, and USMEXNA, a member of ANS, IBSS, C4, and MCA, and president of his local coin club, the Mansfield Numismatic Society in Connecticut.
A graduate of both Oxford and Cambridge, with an MBA from the University of Connecticut, Peter moved from England with his wife and three daughters to rural Connecticut in 1977, where he practiced medicine for 39 years.
A former magician, his current avocations include classical and flamenco guitar playing, classical hammered dulcimer, and classical harmonica. Please click on the links below to see the videos.
