<p>[QUOTE="Fugio1, post: 3374151, member: 89970"]Years ago, I gained access to the British Museum student's room to examine coins in their cabinets that are not on display. I simply had to submit a request ahead of time with an introductory letter from "someone known to them". On the two occasions I did this, I had letters from academics, one who had a published book in the British Museum, and the other was my father-in-law, an American professor who was on a teaching exchange in Loughborogh England. Neither are numismatists but simply recognized academics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure if this is still possible, but it was an amazing opportunity for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
