Greg Bennick Interviews Kellen Hoard

In his continuing series of numismatic interviews, Greg Bennick (virtually) sits down with Kellen Hoard, who was named Young Numismatist of the Year by the American Numismatic Association in 2021 and is currently a student at George Washington University. He serves on the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) and writes a regular column for The Numismatist.

Hoard touches on how he got started with numismatics, sharing numismatics with people outside the hobby, and his engagement with journalism, politics, public policy, and international affairs. Kellen provides context on the end-end workflow of the CCAC and evolution of coinage from legislation to production. Hoard wraps up with an optimistic view of the next generation of numismatists.

Greg Bennick is a longtime numismatist and serves on the board of the Combined Organization of Numismatic Error Collectors of America (CONECA). He recently published Reclaim the Moment: Seven Strategies to Build a Better Now (Wiley, 2024), which ranked recently as high as #2 on Amazon's list of Business Management books.
