The excerpt below is from my fellow Missourian Wayne Sayles' site: http://wgs.website/celator/ Wayne is author of the "Ancient Coin Collecting" series of books, director of the Ancient Coin Collectors' Guild, and was the founder of "The Celator" in 1987.
"The Celator, which served for 25 years as the world's premier journal for ancient coin collectors is no longer in production. For a quarter century, this publication demonstrated the breadth of knowledge that amateurs and open-minded academics could share in an open forum and productive spirit of cooperation. (...) Each issue of The Celator was designed to present three feature articles. The average processing time between article submission and publication was about three to four months. Because the publication of a peer-reviewed article in an academic journal can take as many years as it did months at The Celator, many professional scholars chose the latter for short articles that they found difficulty publishing in academic journals. The ancient coin collecting community is comprised of people from all walks of life and many are quite capable of the level of research demanded by academia, but have chosen different career paths. Consequently, The Celator achieved a very respectable reputation for the quality of articles published. The publication was founded in 1987 by Wayne G. Sayles who published it with the help of family members until 1999 when it was sold to Kerry K. Wetterstrom. Kerry published it for another 13 years before experiencing significant health problems and being forced to cease publishing of the journal in its 25th year. Both Wayne and Kerry were and still are professional numismatists."
