Central States Numismatic Society President Mitch Ernst has announced the winners of his 2020 Sower Award. -Editor
CSNS president, Mitch Ernst, has announced the recipients of his 2020 Sower Awards. "It is my privilege to bestow my 2020 "Sower Award" to four people
who, from my observation and experience, epitomize the spirit of the 'sower'." The sower is an allegorical image of a person planting seed in a field portraying hope
for the future. The four recipients for 2020 are: Barbara Gregory, Brett Irick, David Heinrich and Thomas Uram.
"All of these individuals have planted seeds into the future of hobby without thought of themselves. They have shown by example the spirit of the sower, "Sow good
seeds and let time do the rest." said Ernst.
The presentation of the awards was going to take place at the now canceled CSNS convention in Schaumburg, IL on April 25th. The awards will now be either mailed to the
recipients or presented at the World's Fair of Money in Pittsburgh in August.
Ernst collects coins, medals, currency, etc.with the image of the sower and each award will have a medal from his collection attached to it.
The picture is of a 2019 award presented to ANA Education Director, Rod Gillis. Other 2019 recipients were; Clifford Mishler, Dave Harper, Walt Ostromecki and Rick Snow.
The Seed Sower design by Oscar Roty is a classic, and a great choice for an award. Here's an example of the design on a French 5 Franc coin from NGC's World Coin Price
Guide. -Editor
