American Numismatic Association.

A MILESTONE CELEBRATION: PART 6, Continuing Activity

“The annual ANA convention took place in Dallas in 1953, and J. Hewitt Judd was the new president. That same year, the second general assembly of the International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN) was held. The convention auction was dynamic, confirming that the rare coin market was strong once again.”

Correspondence to Eric P. Newman (EPN)
from John J. Ford (JJF)

XXII (22nd) IAPN General Assembly
Washingont, D.C.
September 1973

“ EPN  I understand that the boys in
Munich, Milan, Rome, Lebanon utilize
a resin compound for their die-moulds -
not unlike hard rubber in appearance
further, info indicates that the
striking process involves powdered
metallurgy - scintering? - Stefano
Johnson, Milan, is a heavy importer
of a Goodyear T & R product according
to one source, but this info
cannot be verified.

Abe Kosoff: Dean of Numismatics by Q. David Bowers

"The following month, September (1973), saw Abe Kosoff attending the yearly congress of the International Association of Professional Numismatists. While there he delivered a paper on the subject of American territorial gold coins, one of his favorite series. The 20-minute time allowance made it impossible to be detailed, so he covered the history in brief form. The talk was well received and was later reprinted in Coin World. At the same event, the International Association of Professional Numismatists awarded a gold medal of honor to Abe Kosoff for outstanding service to numismatics. A similar medal went to Donald Crowther of London. These presentations were only the sixth and seventh times that members were so honored in the 22-year history of the IAPN."
