ANS RELEASES HIGH RESOLUTION COIN IMAGES

With an understated item in their October 2017 eNews, the American Numismatic Society announced that high resolution images of over 160,000 numismatic objects in the society's collections are now freely available. This is a boon for collectors and researchers. Have a look through their online catalogues! -Editor

The ANS is pleased to announce a new image-zooming feature in MANTIS, the online database of its numismatic collection, and ARCHER, the Society's digital archive. The ANS will now make its highest-resolution images freely available under a Creative Commons license, enabling researchers to zoom down into minute details of an object that were obscured in the lower-resolution images previously published.

More than 160,000 numismatic objects have been photographed thus far and are available in this new interface. Beyond MANTIS, the high-resolution images of Roman Republican, Imperial, and Hellenistic coins will likewise be available within their respective online type corpora projects: Coinage of the Roman Republic Online, Online Coinage of the Roman Empire, and PELLA.
