BYRON REED INFORMATION SOUGHT

Saul Teichman forwarded a note from young numismatist Samuel
Ernst, who writes: "I live in Omaha, NE and have seen the
Byron Reed collection a couple of times at the Durham Western
Heritage Museum.  He really had a great collection, and he
did it when collecting wasn't as popular as it is today.  Do
you know if anything has ever been written about him and his
collection?"

Saul noted that "A biography and discussion of Byron Reed
was in the Spink's October 96 auction catalog which sold
some of the collection a few years back.  There is also
information about him on the Durham Western Heritage Museum
website: Byron Reed

[I invited Samuel to subscribe to The E-Sylum, and did a
quick search on the Numismatic Indexes Project (NIP), which
located twenty articles relating to Reed and his collection,
mostly in the ANA's Numismatist and the ANS's American Journal
of Numismatics.  Photocopies of the articles can be obtained
by ANA members through the ANA Library.
Byron Reed Search

I'm sure there were also some great articles on Byron Reed
in Coin World and Numismatic News over the years, but these
publications aren't in the index.  Can anyone point us to
other good resources?   -Editor]
