2025 ANS GALA ANNOUNCED

 

The Board of Trustees of the American Numismatic Society (ANS) is pleased to announce the 2025 Trustees' Award to the New York International Numismatic Convention (NYINC), to be presented at the ANS Annual Gala on January 16, 2025, at the Century Association. This award honors the organizers of NYINC, as the convention is one of the most significant events in the United States for the numismatic community, bringing together collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts of world and ancient coins, including many supporters of the ANS.

The first NYINC was held in December 1971, and in the decades since has become the most prominent convention in the United States for dealers and auction houses for world and ancient coins. Today, in addition to the bourse and auction sessions, the convention hosts club and society meetings, lectures, and a variety of other events that have encouraged friendships within the numismatics community. The NYINC has also served as a critical venue to organize charity auctions in support of non-profit institutions including the ANS.

ANS Executive Director Dr. Ute Wartenberg notes, "The ANS has greatly benefited from the community that has developed over the many decades that NYINC has been in operation. We are very pleased to have this opportunity to recognize all the friends of the Society who have been involved in this successful convention, and their generous support throughout the years."

The Annual Gala provides critical support for the Society's mission to advance the research, education, and appreciation of numismatics, through proceeds from ticket sales, sponsorships, advertising, and other donations. The Trustees' Award was established in 2003. For more information about the Annual Gala, visit numismatics.org/giving/gala/.
