ANA BADGE, MEDAL INFORMATION SOUGHT

Richard Crosby writes: "I collect American Numismatic
Association medals and am seeking additional information
on the Convention badges & medals and the 2 or 3 piece
medal sets issued in the last 25 years. I'm interested in
obtaining the mintage records, maker, designer, etc. I'm
also seeking information on ANA Ladies' Convention
badges issued from 1970 thru 1982. Please correspond
by email to rjcrosby at zbzoom.net Thanks."

[Former ANA Historian N. Neil Harris published a
catalog of ANA convention badges and medals in The
Numismatist from January 1970 through December 1973.

In the December 1979 issue he published a supplement
updating the catalog through 1979 and again in December
1989. Numismatist Editor Barbara Gregory wrote the last
update in the December 1999 issue.

ANA Historian David Sklow has done extensive research
on the medals and badges and has published information
on them in his regular "Historian's Diary" column in the same
publication. Contemporary issues of the Numismatist are
of course, good starting points for research, since medal
and badge order forms are published in advance of each
convention, along with information on the designer."

David adds: "The Ladies' badges were issued from 1969 to
1982, the large table medals (57mm & 63mm) were first
issued in 1979." -Editor]
