Princeton University Collection

[AnkurJ]

I stumbled along this while searching for something on google.

Quite a nice collection! Some were obviously cleaned. They are obviously all raw, and some were cleaned years ago. Im hoping the curator of this collection doesnt touch them.

 

Very interesting collection in any case!

Alan Stahl curated that exhibit (he is the Curator of Numismatics at the Firestone Library, and was formerly at ANS). He is very well known, and has a Ph.D. in History (I think). He has authored/edited numerous books and articles, mostly about American medals and medieval European coinage.

Dang, that is a NICE 1794 dollar!

Im going to try to arrange a get together with collectors in the area to visit the museum on a Saturday next month. If anyone in the tristate area is interested let me know!

Ankur, that's a great idea. I wish I were going to be up there then.

Have a wonderful time as I am sure you will.

True, but the only downside is you can't bring anything home!

My niece was just accepted into Princeton! If my family ever goes to visit her....

[AnkurJ]

Congrats Keyman! I don't think the exhibit is open year round though.

Thanks. My daughter who is 7 got to go to Princeton a few months ago when Princeton flew my niece's immediate family out to NJ for the recruiting trip...so my daughter has gone there for a couple of days which is cool. She traveled up there with grandma to take in the sights of higher education.

This would make for a nice side-trip from the Philly ANA show this summer. It's only about an hour from Philadelphia to Princeton. I wonder if the ANA would try to facilitate a day trip for interested parties.

 

[AnkurJ]

I'm not sure if the exhibit will be open then messydesk.

[messydesk]

If the ANA were interested in getting involved in securing and scheduling a private showing, it could become opened for such an event even if not normally scheduled to be.

I certainly would be up for a side trip to Princeton myself,

either before or immediately after the ANA convention.

 

Broadstruck, you can give us a guided tour of

the co-Ed's !

 

 

Just because you're a "kid" in my eyes, doesn't make you

a "kid" in the co-Ed's eyes.

Well, they weren't interested in a class on research with a guided side trip to NARA in Philadelphia. Maybe there will be interest in viewing the Princeton collection.
