Are you
planning to attend the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money
convention in Philadelphia? I hope so. If you do, Stack’s Bowers Galleries has
a lot of events—multiple auction sessions, a dynamic bourse setup, and the
opportunity to meet, greet, and chat with our staff.
Now, to
the headline subject:
On Thursday afternoon, August
16, at 3 P.M. there will be the “Meet the Experts” program for one hour in Room
121B at the Convention Center. You are invited to attend.
At the
head of the room Steve Hayden, Fred Holabird, Neil Musante, David Schenkman,
and I will to our best to field questions on the general subject of “Why, What
& How to Collect Tokens and Medals.”
Last
year’s event was a lot of fun, and this year’s will be as well. Moderating the
show will be Susan Trask, president of the Civil War Token Society. As you read
these words she is gathering some questions in advance. You can send yours to susantrask@mindspring.com and she’ll send back a thank you and
answer.
Today
tokens and medals are among the most dynamic specialties in numismatics, with a
strong market and much interest. If you are not a part of these fields, now is
your time to discover them!
Sponsoring
groups of the event include the Token and Medal Society, the Civil War Token
Society, and the Medal Collectors of America—in case you want to learn more on
their websites.
I hope
to see you then!
