MORE ON AUTHORS ON COINS AND MEDALS

Marie Gibbs writes:

"Thank you so much for publishing my question. Please extend my thanks to Pete Smith for his amazing article on this. I am excited to begin my hunt. Perfect timing since our club's annual showing is Labor Day weekend. I am a lifetime member of the Central Ohio Numismatic Club. "

Hall of Fame Medal.01 Rob Luton writes:

"I suspect almost all of your readers will identify Huckleberry Finn in front of a Mississippi steamboat presumably on the reverse of a medal honoring Mark Twain. Keep up the great work!"

David Luftig writes:

"Thank you for your image of the Mark Twain medal. I am a huge fan of Mark Twain and have had the silver version of this medal for 10-15 years. I had assumed it was a uniface medal and had never looked at the reverse."

Ken Bressett writes:

"One important author medal is missing. The bronze ANA award picturing Glenn Smedley (1902-1987). He was the author of over two dozen articles, plus a monthly column that ran in The Numismatist for 25 years. His most lasting work is his catalog of Brenner medals – the standard reference – published in four parts and later reprinted."

Ira Rezak writes:

"I read with considerable interest Pete Smith's list of the medals of American Numismatic authors because I have collected such medals, both American and foreign. Taking American Numismatic authors to mean medals of individuals who were numismatic authors in America rather than writers exclusively about American numismatic subject matter, I find that I can suggest some additional names. These are persons who in my opinion have written significant numismatic articles or books; I'm sure that many other occasional numismatic authors could be added from the medallic series issued by the New York Numismatic Club, the Token and Medal Society and many others."

Thanks, everyone. -Editor
