This meeting also included a video tour of the Joel Orosz library; for reasons of time this video was condensed. The full version is now posted and available for viewing.On Friday, August 19 at the ANA, NBS Vice-President Len Augsburger presented a Money Talks session on “Building a Numismatic Library for Pleasure & Profit.” This presentation covers aspects of building a numismatic library and suggests various approaches to literature collecting.
