DAVID E. SCHENKMAN TO RECEIVE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
There will be many awards given at this week's ANA convention, but another one of note is the Lifetime Achievement Award. The 2012 honor deservingly goes to E-Sylum regular Dave Schenkman. ANA Library & Communications Director RyAnne Scott forwarded the press release - here's an excerpt, along with a photo of Dave speaking at the 2011 meeting of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society.

Schenkman has shared his knowledge of tokens with collectors since his first article was published in 1964. Every one of his eight books is considered a standard reference.

In addition to teaching ANA Summer Seminar students about U.S. tokens and Civil War-era numismatics for 17 years, Schenkman has presented many talks at the Association’s conventions.
