American Numismatic Society

No I don't, Cheetah. I have had a chance to read a copy of one issue though, and it was quite informative. Keep in mind, however, that I know nothing of colonial coins, that's not really my area.

Thanks. Appreciate it. :smile

 

I don't know a lot about the ANS, but what I do know is they are one of the oldest in the country, started sometime before the Civil War.

 

I am a member of the ANS, too, and have been so for many years. Their previous NYC location was open to the public and allowed you to do research on-site. The quarterly jounal is quite good and the Coinage of the Americas Conference series is terrific! You can obtain valuable information from these publications for very little money and many of the previously published CAS series books are available at the ANS website.

 

The quarterly is probably very good, I can't say I don't think I've seen it. The fantastic collection and extensive library is only of value if you live close to New York City. Unlike the ANA, the ANS library is not a lending library. The Colonial Newsletter is quite good, but considerably more expensive now that the ANS has taken it over. (No I don't subscribe but I have PDF files of the first 105 issues.)

 

Wow! Impressive Conder!... Man would I'd love to have those too in my digital library!

 

you can download many of the journals from the first 20=30 years here
