Almost from the beginning, the motto of the ANS has been parva ne pereant (may the little things not perish), symbolically represented by an acorn growing into a mighty oak. Of course our great Society is also built upon the “little things” that fill its cabinets. Join ANS Librarian and Archivist David Hill for a look back at the ANS’s 160-year history, from its humble beginnings in a house on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, through some uncertain early years, past a few high-profile thefts, and up to the mighty scholarly institution that it is today. Beginning with the 1858 invitation letter sent out for the very first meeting of the American Numismatic Society, selections from the ANS Archives will also be presented.

Money Talks: Numismatic Conversations is supported by an ANS endowment fund generously given in honor of Dr. Vladimir Clain-Stefanelli and Mrs. Elvira Clain-Stefanelli.
