I wanted to share with you fine folks a great numismatic resource available at the University of Notre Dame. A cool compendium of information on Coins of Colonial America, American Colonial Currency, and Washington Tokens is well presented in an organized fashion. Jump right into it here: https://rbsc-prod.library.nd.edu/collections/numismatics/index.shtml or https://coins.nd.edu/ They are also working on exhibits for several other collections including Medieval Coins, Confederate States of America (CSA) Currency, and Tokens (e.g. Civil War, Hard Times, Merchant) - see links at bottom of the page linked above. I wish I had known about this when I was an engineering student at Notre Dame a long, long time ago, but I was too busy ignoring my childhood coin collection in order to drink beer. I don't think the web pages have been updated very recently, but it is what it is...hours of potential research!!! Some examples of the images available... Enjoy.
Fellow ND grad here....'70. I also ignored my collection while in school, though I did keep a buffalo I got in change once at the book store. I really didn't start collecting again until the late 70's. Thanks for the interesting post!
The University of North Carolina has a nice money collection, too. https://docsouth.unc.edu/imls/currency/currdesc.html I have been told that they have over 300,000 Confederate and Southern States notes, second only to the Smithsonian collection. Personal note: I used to own the Raleigh and Durham third charter national bank notes in their collection; I traded them to a UNC prof so he could donate them to UNC.
EDITED Jim The forum rules do not allow political discussions ( this one as others would probably disagree....etc.) Nor discussions on religion, and world events. There is a sister site (link removed) which the owner of this site pays for specifically for those discussions
@Jim Dale. I tried the sister site you posted but my Security suite would not allow me to open it. It says it's on the list of websites with potentially dangerous content. "Access to it has been blocked". Is it political or something else?
