Heritage Announces Essay Contest for Young Numismatists To support young numismatists and budding authors, Heritage Auctions is sponsoring quarterly essay contests. Four essays will be selected every year, with each quarterly winner receiving a package of numismatic prizes worth more than $750! "For decades," noted Heritage's Robert Korver, who created the contest, "numismatists have been concerned about the lack of interest in rare coins shown by the young — especially disturbing since so many professionals had our interest kindled before our teen years.
