<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddoomm1, post: 1753117, member: 21808&quot;]Hello all! It&#039;s been awhile since I have posted but I have a question. After returning from NYC for a family visit, I stopped by the ANS headquarters in lower Manhattan for a visit. As seen on their website, it was free and open to the public so I thought, why not? After maneuvering around New York to get there (not easy, as many of you may know) I stopped by, signed in at the bottom office of the building (there are several businesses) and proceeded to the headquarters. There was a man in a small office who had to scan ID etc. Fine. After calling on a pager that there were two people to visit the exhibits a very helpful woman showed us around. However, after stepping past a locked door, there were literally two small cases of medals explaining an award the society gives out every year. Oh, ok and a couple books with descriptions behind a glass window. That was it. I saw maybe 10 people in some summer graduate fellowship/research course and maybe two people in the library (which we couldn&#039;t go into). No other visitors. No coins. I was disappointed to the say the least. The guide kept pressing me to pay for a membership but I really don&#039;t plan on returning so this would be a waste of money. Yes with that membership you can maybe see some parts of the collection if you call and schedule appointments but what about the passing collector. What are your thoughts on this? I mean, sure you can see&nbsp; coins online but it would be nice to see some in person&nbsp; (besides at a show etc.) Well, good to be back and thanks for hearing me out on this![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
