ANA NUMISMATIC THEATRE PRESENTATIONS
Denis Loring writes: "I'm doing an NT presentation
too: "The California Gold Rush through Numismatic
Eyes: How to Tell a Story with Coins." It's really
a story -- CA gold rush coinage from the CAL quarter
eagle through the Wass Molitor $50 -- within a story
-- how coins illustrate history -- just as the name implies."Mark Borckardt writes: "I will also be giving a numismatic
theatre presentation: "Affordable Numismatics - Great
Coins You Can Afford to Own." Essentially, this will be
an interactive discussion of coins with great stories that
can be acquired even by novice collectors and YNs on a
limited budget. Items discussed will include such coins as
the 1909 VDB cent, the 1943 steel cent, 1913 Type One
Buffalo, the Morgan dollar, etc. I would be interested in
the opinions of E-Sylum readers who might suggest other
great but affordable coins. I am expecting that this may
also evolve into a monthly article in The Numismatist.
The primary purpose of the presentation is to suggest new
ways to approach numismatics as an answer to those who
say that coin collecting is not affordable. E-Sylum readers
may also be able to help me prepare for this program. I
am seeking a couple references from the 19th and early
20th century where collectors complained that coin collecting
was "a rich man's hobby" or some such. I know I have
seen such comments in The Numismatist and elsewhere,
but since I am literally in the process of moving, my entire
library is packed in boxes (which is a very uncomfortable
place to be)."- 2004-07-18
