INVASION OF CHAMPAIGN (PART 2)

 

Invasion of Champaign (Part 2)

NBSers no doubt recall the Invasion of Champaign held August 20, 2019, in conjunction with the ANA convention in Rosemont, IL. This tour of the Dan Hamelberg library attracted about 15 visitors who trekked from the convention site to visit this unparalleled collection of American numismatic literature. The Fall 2019 Asylum included a full report of the event.

This year's ANA convention brings another such opportunity, and we invite feedback from readers as to which day might be optimal for a repeat visit. A few options are Monday, August 6, or Tuesday, August 7, prior to the ANA convention, or, on the back end, either Saturday, August 10, or Sunday, August 11. The drive from Rosemont to Champaign is about two and a half hours, and transportation will be provided by the NBS. Pickup in Rosemont will be at 9:30 AM with a return around 7:00 PM. Should you have any interest in such a tour, please contact NBS president Len Augsburger at leonard.augsburger@wustl.edu with your preferred date.
