NUMISMATIST ON MICROFICHE

Regarding the American Numismatic Association's microfiche
version of The Numismatist, Dave Lange writes: "I bought
this set when it came out around 1980, but I never did keep
up with whatever new volumes were offered. The quality
was poor, though the sheets were still usable with a good
quality viewer. I used this set when researching my earliest
books, but now I have access to a nice bound set of The
Numismatist in the NGC Library. There's really no substitute
for hardcopies when it comes to readability. I later sold my
microfiche set in one of Fred Lake's auctions. I don't even
remember what it brought, but it was probably less than
what I had paid."

Pete Smith writes: "The Northwest Coin Club has a copy
of The Numismatist on microfiche produced by the ANA
several years ago. I believe I am the only member to
check that out from the club library in the past 20 years
and most members aren't even aware that it is available.
I was researching the first article on Conder tokens
published in the journal. As I recall the quality of the film
was not great."
