NATIONAL NUMISMATIC COLLECTION PHOTOS SOUGHT

With Jeff Garrett I am writing the history of the National Numismatic Collection. This will include the Mint Cabinet and other aspects from 1838 down to the latest Value of Money exhibit.

If any readers have sharp color pictures of any of these subjects to share I would be grateful for the opportunity to borrow them:

1. Coin collection on display at the Smithsonian prior to 1953
2. Exhibits and panels of coins at the SI from the 1950s to the 1980s
3. Eliasberg Collection on display at the Philadelphia Mint in 1976
4. Pictures of modern exhibits by the SI at the summer ANA conventions
5. Pictures of the Chase Manhattan Money Museum

Whitman Publishing LLC will be making announcements this summer about the availability of the book. It will include an inventory of the American coins from the colonial era on onward as studied by Jeff Garrett. I will be doing the narrative history.

All good wishes, and with thanks.
