    And I here tell that they're 'digitizing' all of the back issues of the Numismatist. Heck of a wealth of information there.......

    I am also a member. You can also get your collection insured through them via Hugh Wood at a reasonable price

    I am not a member, but have considered it several times. I collect military money and ancients and I don't know how much I would get out of it. Sure the Numismatist would be interesting to read (I still like to read about other coins and maybe ancients are covered) and the Hugh Wood insurance is very tempting.

    I am a member, and I live about 35 miles from Colorado Springs (ANA headquarters). So it's great that I can use the library without paying postage, and visit the money museum any time I want.

    The library makes membership worth it, even if you don't live close.

    Oh, I forgot, an ANA membership is cheaper than buying a submission account through NGC, but you get submission privileges by virtue of being an ANA member.

    So, for a small fee, you get the library, money museum, and NGC submission privileges.

    Worth it.

    I see where you are going on this, there are many good ole boys leading this, and the ANA needs a direction to get the youth more engaged. The ANA leadership needs to work with more educators to get some ideas to elevate youth involvement,

    Educators are having a challenge getting their kids to add two and two.

    Remember, the library is free to use, except you pay postage. It's worth it. I guarantee your public library doesn't have a numismatic section like the ANA library.
