The American Numismatic Association released a schedule of talks for the convention's Numismatic Theatre. I won't repeat the complete list here, but I've picked a few that may be of particular interest to numismatic researchers, authors and E-Sylum readers in general. This is always one of my favorite parts of an ANA convention.
