U.S. MUSEUM NUMISMATIC COLLECTIONS

  Pete Smith writes; "In response to Chris Faukner's question,
  I recall an article in Coin World or Numismatic News that
  listed numismatic museums in the U.S. I don't know if I
  pulled it for my clipping file. Unfortunately my clipping file
  is a disorganized black hole where information frequently
  falls in but is infrequently retrieved."

  Fred Reed writes: "Regarding the request for a listing of
  numismatic museums, this is just the kind of listing that we
  used to compile when I worked for Coin World 25 years
  and more ago.

  The chapter on museums in the 1978 edition of the Coin
  World Almanac spans 17 pages and lists (by a quick
  count) 126  or so numismatic displays at U.S. institutions
  and another 86 or so numismatic displays at international
  institutions.

  I don't know if the current staff keeps the list up-to-date,
  but if somebody wants to take on the chore, the Coin
  World Almanac would be a good jumping off place."
