Johnson Invoice Files A Remarkable Archive of Numismatic ActivitySeven archival file boxes housing 254 acid-free file folders containing approximately 3000 carbon-copy typewritten invoices for coins sent to various clients (both collectors and dealers) between 1940 and Johnson's death in early 1947. Tens of thousands of coins are recorded on these invoices. Materials are generally well-preserved.      Burdette Johnson is exactly the sort of coin dealer whose activities used to be relegated to the dustbin of history. He was primarily a wholesaler, selling coins to other dealers, though he did conduct an extensive retail business as well. He didn't tend to publish, however, leaving his legacy in the hobby subject to the vagaries of memory. Johnson conducted himself and his business with a quiet demeanor and a personal integrity that cherished the confidentiality of his clients. He was the opposite of a figure like B. Max Mehl, whose primary contribution to the hobby was promotional. But there are drawbacks to being private, and once the generations of collectors and dealers with whom Johnson had dealt had passed on, his contributions were largely forgotten.       We have seen other examples in our time of collectors and dealers whose energetic participation in the hobby had mostly been forgotten but whose reputations and contributions have in recent years been revived and acknowledged. Eric P. Newman's friend F.C.C. Boyd is a good example of someone who, just 20 years ago, was known only to the cognoscenti but whose name is once again famous in numismatic circles. Dealers like Elmer S. Sears and James Macallister are still waiting for their due recognition.       Burdette Johnson died suddenly in February 1947, with no time to settle his affairs. He was unmarried and his will stipulated that Eric P. Newman, his good friend, prot?g?, and partner in the \"Colonel\" Green estate, would act as co-executor. Had Johnson evinced the slightest interest in preserving his fame, he could have asked for no one better. Due to Newman's preservation of Johnson's meticulous records, this archive of materials--an outstanding resource for those researching the provenance of significant coins--has been saved for numismatists of today. An extraordinary archive. Invoices exist for the following: Abraham Lincoln Book Shop, American Numismatic Society, Art Trading Co., Michael Ash, John Backe, L.G. Barnard, Joseph Barnet, W.V.
