<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 855068, member: 66&quot;]The ANS is a very scholorly organization and although they are well known for the early american and colonial numismatics, their main focus is mor on foreign and especially ancient coinage&nbsp; ntil the turn of the 20th century they did not really consider American numismatics to be a worthwhile subject of study.&nbsp; Still some of their books that they have published are excellent.&nbsp; And every year or two they have a wekend of lectures, The Coinage of the America Conference on different topics.&nbsp; The papers are collected and published in book form and those books are great.&nbsp; I have most of them.&nbsp; The last one was on the Mark Newby farthings and half pence.&nbsp; It is extensive and the book of the presented papers runs 396 pages.&nbsp; For the serious numismatic scholar the ANS is probably worth being a members of, for the casual collector, probably not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
