Lester Merkin

Lester Merkin was an American jazz saxophonist and mid‑20th‑century numismatist. He performed with major big-band leaders, including Paul Whiteman and Gene Krupa, and contributed to several studio and ensemble recordings during the 1930s and 1940s. After leaving full‑time music, Merkin became one of New York's most respected rare‑coin dealers and auctioneers, noted for his innovative catalog design, his handling of significant collections, and his correspondence with leading researchers such as Eric P. Newman. His auction catalogs and research collaborations remain valued references in America
