Numismatic Literature Exhibits at the ANA Convention

The ANA convention exhibits in Oklahoma City included three entries in the Numismatic Literature category. A fourth entry, "Who Is Charles Steigerwalt?" was unfortunately not mounted due to flight cancellations. The three remaining entries were all granted awards, with top honors going to Jeff Dickerson's "Auction Catalogues Featuring the 1804 Dollar." This display included all auction catalogs from 1867 to 2021 that included an original (class I) 1804 dollar.

Second place went to "Fractional Currency Literature," exhibited by Benny Bolin. This display presented reference books, dealer price lists, articles, and auction catalogs related to fractional currency. The third place award went to the exhibit "The 1804 Large Cent - Rarity, Research, and Writings on a Fascinating Coin," which presented archival materials from R. W. Julian and Walter Breen related to the 1804 cent, in addition to a pair of 1804 cents, one original and one restrike. The identity of this exhibitor has eluded us but will be published by the ANA in due course. Thanks to all of these exhibitors for publicizing the collectability of numismatic literature.
