American Geographical Society Medal
Paul Bosco reminds us of two numismatic connections to the American Geographical Society mentioned in two previous items. First is a reminder of the fact that the AGS was once a neighbor of the ANS on Audubon Terrace in New York City. And second, this great medal depicting its building, available for sale on his web site, www.pauljbosco.com. Thanks!
