Impresions of the Byron Reed Collection in Omaha, NE

CoinHusker

I recently saw for the first time the Byron Reed Collection in person at the Western Heritage Museum in Omaha,NE. Even though I've lived here most of my life I never took the time to examine the collection. Maybe my priorities changed after i began to develop an interest in collecting myself. It was well worth the trip downtown and wish I had given myself more time. I'd be interested in hearing other people's impressions of the collection and if they have seen it in person?

I use Webtv so I can't leave a link but here is the URL for the collection if anyone is interested. www.dwhm.org/exhibits/Permanant/reed/coin_tour_3.htm (hope this works)

My son (who moved to Omaha three years ago) took me to the Western Heritage Museum while I was visiting last year. I saw the Byron Reed Collection and was impressed by both the content and the presentation.

if possible. Thanks for the info. mdwoods

Went and saw the collection again this weekend and was impressed all over again. If you're ever in Omaha be sure and check it out, besides the steaks of course.
