Abstract

The article focuses on the collections of Virgil Michael Brand, a life member of the American Numismatic and Archaeological Society. Born on January 16, 1682, Brand has been an established brewer and went into partnership with Valetine Busch in a brewery in Chicago. He is known for recording almost every single purchase of coins, which he started in 1889 with an Augustuc Humbert gold piece. His passion for collecting coins got serious with the help of dealer S. C. Stevens.
