THE MEDAL COLLECTORS OF AMERICA

Steve Pellegrini writes: "Thanks for getting me in touch with
John Adams. As things turned out he'd like to consider including
my Goetz auction review (much revised) in an upcoming issue of
'The MCA Advisory', the organizational newsletter for our medal
collectors club. Have we ever enlightened the 'E-Sylum' readership
by writing outright about MCA?"

We have mentioned MCA, but I asked Barry Tayman for more
information. Barry writes: "The Medal Collectors of America (MCA)
was founded in August 1998 at the ANA in Portland, Oregon, to
serve collectors of world, U.S., art, and historical medals.

Collectors with an interest in medals are urged to look at our
web site www.medals.org, which not only contains helpful guides
and checklists, but some stunning photography as well.  The MCA
publishes a monthly newsletter, The MCA Advisory, that is sent to
all members.

The latest issue contained articles on the recent sale of Part XIV
of the John J. Ford Collection, by John W. Adams, Christopher Eimer,
John Kraljevich, and Allen V. Weinberg, as well as an article
illustrated with color plates on The Astronaut Medals by Frederick
G. Withington.

Dues are $20 per year, of $35 for two years.  An application form
can be found on our web site.  Payment should be sent to Barry Tayman
whose address is on the web site.  He can also be contacted by
e-mail at btayman@comcast.net

Our annual meeting is scheduled for August 17, 2006, at the Denver
ANA @ 3:00 p.m. in Room 706.  We look forward to seeing you at the
ANA."
