Heaton was the third president of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Numismatic_Association" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Numismatic_Association" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #404040">American Numismatic Association</span></a>, governing from 1894 to 1899. In 1893, he published his famous Treatise on Coinage of the United States Branch Mints, which revolutionized numismatics. Until its publication, collectors generally only collected by date. Heaton&#039;s Treatise, commonly referred to as just Mint Marks, showed that the coinage of the branch mints was often significantly more scarce and hence worth far more.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; In 1900, Heaton updated Mint Marks in the article, Late Coinage of the United States Mint, published in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Numismatist" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Numismatist" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #404040">The Numismatist</span></a>. Heaton was a frequent contributor to The Numismatist, submitting both articles and poetry, including The Numismatist and the Burglar, published by The Numismatist in 1894 and later appeared in Heaton&#039;s book, Fancies and Thoughts in Verse. As a collector, he owned a complete collection of US $3 and $1 gold coins from all five mints where they were coined, one of only two such collections in existence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
