THE JOURNAL OF EARLY AMERICAN NUMISMATICS AND
THE AMERICAN NUMISMATIC SOCIETY CONGRATULATE
JEFF ROCK ON HIS RECEIPT OF TWO PRESTIGIOUS
NUMISMATIC LITERARY GUILD AWARDS
In August 2021, JEAN contributor and editorial staff member Jeff Rock received two Numismatic Literary Guild Awards for his article Collecting American Colonial Coins in Eighteenth-Century England, which appeared in the June 2020 issue of JEAN. Jeff's article includes detailed information on the life and numismatic collection of Sarah Sophia Banks (1744-1818), along with images and descriptions of her American Colonial coin collection now split between the British Museum in London and the Royal Mint Museum in Llantrisant, Wales. Jeff's monograph was awarded the Best Article on Numismatic History and Personalities, and Article or Story of the Year. This latter award is exceptional as it covers every numismatic article (commercial, academic, large-, and small circulation).
This is the second year in a row in which a JEAN author has received these awards. In 2020, Q. David Bowers received Best Article on Numismatic History and Personalities for his John J. Ford: A Life in Three Portraits, which appeared in the June 2019 issue. Also, in 2020 The Authentic Fugio Restrike Dies by Christopher McDowell and Julia Casey was recognized by NLG as the Best Feature Article on Early American Coins and likewise received the top prize of the James L. Miller Memorial Award for Article or Story of the Year. If you are not a JEAN subscriber, you are missing out on these and other great articles.
Issues of JEAN normally run around 200 pages or more and contain articles on a variety of American Colonial numismatic topics.

JEAN issues are thick, perfect bound, and fit nicely on a library bookshelf, where their groundbreaking articles can be consulted again and again. That's where I keep my issues. No library on American numismatics is complete without them.
