CENTRAL STATES AUTHOR GRANTS

Central States Numismatic Society Education Director Ray Lockwood writes:

Just for the record, Paul Cunningham received a grant from Central States to help him complete his book on Lincoln medals. We have helped thirteen writers publish books since we began our Author Grant project in 2011. Ten additional authors are currently working to complete books. We are very pleased that Central States has been able to contribute to numismatic literature in a meaningful way.

The CSNS Author Grant program is an important resource for numismatic authors seeking financial assistance for researching and publishing their work. -Editor

Ray adds:

To date, twenty authors have received grants up to $5,000, the maximum grant approval limit. Thirteen of these authors have produced books while the other seven are in various stages of research and publication. The grants do not carry mandatory completion dates. In fact, the grants may be utilized for research alone. The books that have been published to date and their authors include:

  • Ron Abler – “A Centennial Cabinet: Exonumia of the 1876 U.S. Centennial”
  • Jon Amato – “The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796 & 1797”
  • Roger Burdette – “Various Numismatic Articles in the Journal of Numismatic Research
  • Paul Cunningham - “Abraham Lincoln’s Metallic Imagery”
  • Mark Ferguson - “The Dollar of 1804 – The U.S. Mint’s Hidden Secret”
  • Kathy Freeland - “American Red Cross in WW II” (exonumia catalogue)
  • Peter Huntoon – “Numismatic Articles on U.S. Date Back National Banknotes”
  • Larry Lee - “Fort Atkinson & Western Frontier Numismatic Archeology”
  • Fred Reed - “Civil War Stamp Envelopes – The Issuers and Their Times”
  • Neil Shafer – “A Catalog of Panic Scrip of 1893, 1907 & 1914”
  • TAMS/Q. David Bowers – U.S. Shell Cards: 1867 – 1880”
  • Michael VanDen Heuvel – “Square Coins of the World – 1900 – 2008”
  • Harry Waterson – “The Medal of the Month Club”

We know of no other numismatic organization that is funding numismatic research and/or publications. Awarding monies to numismatic authors benefits everyone in our great hobby. There never can be enough numismatic literature.
