David Lisot Video Library (1989)
Multi-Media Summary
Coin collecting is no longer a collector-dominated market. The entry of major financial investors has changed the face of numismatics forever. One of the major forces to have catalyzed this change is television as a medium to transmit the message of numismatics. This medium is powerful in its ability to convey the legitimacy of an idea to a large audience. David Lisot is a news commentator and reporter specializing in numismatics. He has produced television programming about coins for the Financial News Network and The Learning Channel. Lisot discusses how TV has been used and abused in its presentation of numismatics.
