COAC ON BETTS MEDALS

  From the ANS Press Release:
  "The Stack Family Coinage of the Americas Conference,
  May 14-15, 2004 "Medals Illustrating American Colonial
  History, the Work of C. W. Betts Revisited"

  The American Numismatic Society is pleased to present the
  2004 Stack Family COAC. This conference reviews the
  theme of "American Colonial History Illustrated by
  Contemporary Medals," the famous classic reference by
  C. Wyllys Betts on this important subject. The speakers
  and their presentations will explore the content of this work
  and these medals, including updates to Betts' 19th century
  inventory and new research on some of the many series it
  incorporated.  This field was both pioneered and
  well-explored by Betts, but ongoing research contributes
  much to our current understanding.
