  A. A. WEINMAN AND THE ANS SALTUS AWARD MEDAL
  

  Rich Jewell writes: "In the November 27th Coin World article on
  Brenner's Enduring Legacy by Nancy Oliver and Richard Kelly (page 82)
  they show a photo of the Saltus Award and mention that Victor Brenner
  won the prestigious award and he also designed the award. I'm no expert,
  but I'm pretty certain that A. A. Weinman engraved and designed the
  Saltus Award for the American Numismatic Society."
  

  Roger Burdette writes: "That's correct. In my opinion, the figure is
  possibly one of the best ever done for a medal by an American artist.
  The reverse, Pegasus, is illustrated in a slightly different version
  in my Renaissance of American Coinage 1916-1921 book."
  

  [Roger also pointed out a page on the ANS web site describing the
  creation of the Saltus award and medal. -Editor]
  

  "In January 1914 the Council appointed Huntington and two other
  Councillors, Henry Russell Drowne and Charles Dodd, to "work out
  a plan for a competition for the design of the Saltus Medal...
  by the end of 1918, they settled upon an original design by A.A.
  Weinman."
