I do think I have ever had a good reason to justify the expense of joining the ANA until now.  |

What a superb reference. Another reason why the digital age isn't so bad. Thanks for letting us know of it's availability.

MUCH better if it is in digital, and not PDF.

What is wrong with PDF? Which is, you know, digital.  |

What exactly does the Numismatist contain? Is it a monthly publication that talks about coins from around the world?

What exactly does the Numismatist contain? Yes, it is the monthly magazine of the American Numismatic Association ( ANA), it has various club news, show info and reports, Counterfeit Detection column, young numismatist sections, and great articles along with advertising, in a very nice full size and color glossy (or digital) spread. I don't see any sample issues but they may have one available, if not I'd be happy to send you a copy to try out, just PM me. It's one of my favorite monthly magazines on coins. https://www.money.org/the-numismatist"Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Invaluable reference source for numismatics. I leverage this resource for research. However, it cost $4 in fees (minimum charge) to get a single page copied. I'm now happy for the online access!
Here is an example. I have coined the term (pun intended) Presidential Medal of Appreciation for my book ISBN 1511786744.
This is an August 1960 article from the The Numismatist that provides evidence that these medals were actually issued during President Eisenhower's official visits overseas, in this case the South America nations of Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. This article provides proof that the medal was issued in foreign nations to US military serving in an official capacity for the President (US mint claims it was only issued to foreign dignitaries).
US military service members were one of many types of recipients of these U.S. Mint "made for the President" medals. Without this ANA resource, my research would not have actual supporting evidence.
This South American medal can be seen at:

I had some time last week and had fun reading about the hype surrounding the new one-cent coin, the Lincoln Penny, in the 1909 issues. The coins have always been a physical connection to history for me, but it's great to read contemporary accounts of these historical bits as they were originally received. The writing was also better back then. |
