Excerpt from Catalogue of the Cabinet of Coins Belonging to Yale College: Deposited in the College Library For many years previous to 1860 there were a few coins belonging to Yale College, which were deposited in Trumbull Gallery, in glass cases, with little attempt at order or arrangement. It is from this nucleus that our present collection has arisen, by the aid of a few purchases and of donations from persons interested in the subject. This original collection, marked Yale Coll. In the Catalogue, was a curious one consisting mainly of old pieces, generally rather rare, and a few of the commonest modern coins. As there was no catalogue of it, most of the pieces have been credited from recollection, and hence there may be a few mistakes.
