Hi,
As mentionned in the title, I'm looking for a specific article in this Issue but I can't seem to find any on the web after a in-depth search in most numismatic archives... Does someone here have a copy or know how I might be able to find one ?
Thank you! ''Buy the very best, stretch to buy it. It means if you can't afford to buy it, buy it anyway."

If you are an ANA. Member, you may be able to find the issue in their research database. |

Thanks, Coinfrog! I went through this a week ago trying to find a Coin World article from 2009. See this post - the replies about Coin World's lack of assistance for others are quite informative. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

They were working on a project to make back issues available (behind some kind of paywall)? But COVID seems to have derailed it. The ANS (not the ANA, the American Numismatic Society on Vessey St in NYC) and the NNP have scanned all of the back issues of the magazines. As others have pointed out, only the index is publically available. The ANS library will make (reasonable) copies for members. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

https://www.money.org/research-services/Adding to what's already said, the only way I know how to get it is via ANA. $5 minimum for members and $10 for non-members. It's 25 or 50 cents per article so obviously it's more cost-effective to request a bunch of them. When I did it the librarian was quite helpful (aren't they always?) and I got it within a day or two via email. Well worth $5 as I had been looking for the article for quite a while before landing on ANA. Membership is worth it to me just for the Numismatist archives. Edit: rereading this, people are saying ANA and ANS so I want to emphasize that I got my Coin World article through ANA, and you don't need to be a member, just pay more. Perhaps ANS also has these archived or the orgs have shared them

kbbpll, the NNP link specifies ANS, so they must have their own archive: Quote:Members of the American Numismatic Society (ANS) may request article copies from the ANS library at library@numismatics.org. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

What is the subject of the article? What are you researching? Just curious. Mine was the discovery of 1901 changes to the Barber dime obverse and reverse types by John McCloskey, published July 2, 1980. I saw the article referenced in numerous subsequent publications and I wanted to see the original source. |

COVID?!? That was almost four years ago! How long is that going to be an excuse for stuff that still hasn't been done? I'm done now. Thank you.

As I posted in the other thread, I mischaracterized the Coin World editor's response to me as "gruff", so I apologize for that. I must have been thinking of a different email exchange. I dug up the email from May 2019 and it was merely a boilerplate reply that they don't have the resources to look up individual articles from their archives but they hope to put them online as a subscription tier in the future. I wanted to issue a retraction on my "gruff" comment. There's a lot of other copyright restricted stuff on NNP; Coin World is certainly not the only one. Of course it's frustrating when you know it's there but you can't see it. |

Im trying to reference every single KGV canadian specimen coin I can find and apparently there's a detailed article about a discovery of a few ones in a old collection from Vermont....

Are you documenting every year and denomination, or every single coin? The latter seems like a huge undertaking. I would imagine there are a ton of them that have never seen a TPG or a camera. |
