Last week Nick Graver suggested to me:
I bet readers would appreciate a description of the Ingot collection Harvey Stack gave to the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian.
I contacted NNC Curator Dick Doty, who put me in touch with Collection manager Robyn Einhorn, who kindly forwarded the following list, image and disclaimer.
NOTE: THE SMITHSONIAN and its National Museum of American History has not VERIFIED THE AUTHENTICITY OF OBJECTS in question and makes no representations about their authenticity but does make the collection available to independent researchers.
