Here's more on my experiences at the American Numismatic Association summer convention - Thursday, August 8, 2024.
Rosemont Convention Center
The Naseby Cup
My first event was a lecture by Ben Hellings on the Yale University Art Gallery's Naseby Cup, where I sat with Neil Musante and David Fanning and picked up a copy of the book on the amazing two-foot tall cup decorated with 72 coins, medals, badges, and counters from around the time of the English Civil War period (1642–51).
