The E-Sylum: Volume 10, Number 23, June 10, 2007, Article 20 GAPS IN NUMISMATIC PERIODICAL HOLDINGS Regarding John Meissner's comments on gaps in institutional holdings of numismatic periodicals, Michael Schmidt writes: "I can't speak for Numismatic News, but completing a set of Coin World should not be a problem. Several years ago I was checking into the possibility of acquiring some back years of Coin World and I contacted the company that does the microfilming of Coin World. They informed me that they have available all of the past years of Coin World on microfilm and most of them on microfiche. They are somewhat costly, but they are available." John Meissner writes: "This is great news about a complete run of "Coin World" being on microfilm. The ANA has about a seven year gap from 1992 to 1999. As far as the 9 November 1964 "Numismatic News", the entire issue is absent from the 1964 microfilm reel. The ANA doesn't keep hard copies this far back; the ANS does but they are missing the 9 November 1964 issue. Both libraries have the identical microfilm which is missing this entire issue. The Numismatic News headquarters in Iola, Wisconsin has a bound 1964 volume in their library, essentially intact except that the 9 November 1964 issue is missing multiple pages. "The microfilmed issues of Numismatic News seem to be the publisher's master copies. Some handwritten notes which appear on certain issues in their bound volumes are clearly shown on the microfilm. Numerous pages are missing from the issue from 9 November 1964 in the bound volume I was shown, and this is probably why those pages weren't microfilmed." Joe Boling writes: "The ANA should have a complete run of Bank Note Reporter, because I donated it to them in 2001, and every 2-3 years I have added the subsequent issues. I hope that they have bound them or in some other way ensured that they will be available for research. For instance, in the 1970s C.M. Nielsen wrote a long series of articles on Philippine guerrilla notes that I believe is still the most comprehensive treatment of those issues." "If anyone needs to find something in the IBNS Journal, I have a complete run of that title."
