The American Numismatic Association is AWESOME. I suggest everyone joins it.

 

I like my ANA membership.

Got a renewal notice today for Coin World. That's the one I'm considering not renewing. A lot of it is advertisements from coin dealers I wouldn't trade with at any cost.

 

My ANA membership is currently lapsed but this thread got me thinking about renewing it. I had initially joined for the NGC submission privileges, but over the last couple of years I've been submitting quite a bit to NGC.

NGC switched over from a free 5 coin submission to a straight $150 credit this past year. This is either a better deal or a worse deal than the free submission, depending on what you're submitting, but it's also significantly easier to use the benefit. Coincidentally, my NGC membership was expiring today so I renewed it at the Premium account level. Basically this gets you a $150 credit on submission fees for $129. If you just want to get an ANA membership in order to submit to NGC, it's really cheaper to just join NGC outright unless you intend to submit very few coins (in which case maybe just use ANACS).
