FEATURED WEB SITE: THE AMYX COLLECTIONThis week's Featured Web Site is suggested by John and Nancy Wilson, who write:We think it is an amazing site with related things to numismatics and ephemera. From the web site: The Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection is a life-long dream of Raleigh DeGeer Amyx. A fifth-generation Kansan who was raised in Louisville, Kentucky. The youthful Amyx had his first museum when he was just seven years old. It consisted of a few coins, fossils, World War 11 battlefield relics, stamps, butterflies and a dead bat – Admission was 2 cents. In the past thirty five years plus, Mr. Amyx has accumulated one of the largest private collections in the United States that specializes in Presidential and Sports Collectibles, particularly those owned and used by multiple Famous Americans & Olympians.
It's an unusual site, but interesting to browse through. The numismatic items I found were Olympic medals, but there are others scattered throughout, such as a great medallion by Emile Picault. It's an eclectic collection.
