Two new videos of events from the ANS and ANA explore the recent past and potential future of numismatics. The ANA video was produced by CoinWeek and is available on
their web site. -Editor
ANS Kleeberg Huntington Lecture
Daniel Demeo writes:
Last November, the American Numismatic Society announced that the 2018 Archer M. Huntington Award for Excellence in Numismatic Scholarship would go to Dr. John M. Kleeberg in
early December. At that time, he would deliver the Silvia Mani Hurter Memorial Lecture, entitled "Dr. William H. Sheldon, Ted Naftzger and the Large Cent Thefts." This, in fact,
did occur, and the lecture, in its entirety, has been posted to the internet.
Although it has been more than 15 years since this was litigated, many of the memories remain rather fresh, and are not necessarily the same as Dr. Kleeberg's. It should be
noted that Dr. Kleeberg was an active participant, on the side of the ANS, during the legal activity between the ANS and Naftzger.

The ANA Future of Numismatics Symposium
On January 7, 2019, at the Winter Florida United Numismatists (FUN) Show, the American Numismatic Association (ANA) held a symposium that brought together thought leaders from
the past and present to discuss the future of the coin hobby. Together, they discussed the future of digital media in the coin hobby, what goes into putting together a successful
coin convention, how the industry can nurture the next generation of dealers, and what lessons today's hobby can learn from the past.
In this video, you will find a number of interesting and important observations about the state of the hobby and things that collectors, dealers, and other professionals can
and should do to grow the hobby in the 21st century.
