NUMISMATIC PERIODICAL INDEXING 

   Concerning the International Numismatic Commission's Survey 
   of Numismatic Research, Bob Knepper writes: "I would like to 
   hear a little more about the contents of these books.   I am often 
   looking for obscure info about German, and other, coins and 
   jetons from about 1540 to 1800.   I haven't yet checked to see 
   if the books are available at the ANA library." 

   On the same subject, Granvyl G. Hulse, Jr. writes:  "There is 
   an old adage that just because one has not seen an item it doesn't 
   mean that it does not exist.  Please extend my thanks to Bob 
   Leonard for updating me on the continuing efforts of the 
   International Numismatic Commission.  I had just not seen 
   anything after the 1985-90 volumes and presumed erroneously 
   that they had given up. They are indeed excellent references, 
   and if an attempt is ever made to prepare a master numismatic 
   subject index those volumes must be at hand.  Which now begs 
   the question,  "What is to be done?"  Is this to be one of those 
   re-occurring discussions where everyone laments the lack of a 
   master numismatic periodical subject index, and then quietly fold 
   their tents until the subject is brought up again, to again lament on 

   the lack, and once more let it ride, or is there some way the 
   project could actually be started now?   According to Parade 
   Magazine I have only seven and a half years to live  (if you hit 
   seventy in good health you will live to 80.)  By the time I go 
   shouting home to glory I would dearly like to see the master 
   subject index project, not only duly and truly launched, but 
   useable."
