On Thursday, January 12, 2017, over 150 friends of The American Numismatic Society (ANS) gathered to honor Anthony J. Terranova, the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society and the NewmanNumismatic Portal with the Trustees' Award at the Annual Gala at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.

He was elected Fellow in 1992, became a Life Fellow in 1995, and has been a member ofthe Augustus B. Sage Society since 2006. He has greatly enhanced the ANS collections with important donations to the numismatic cabinet, and with many books, archives, and auction catalogues to theHarry W. Bass, Jr. Library, as well as with many generous donations. Known for his honest and fair dealings, encouragement, and engaging personality, the Society was delighted to acknowledge hisexemplary devotion and commitment to numismatics through the presentation of the Trustees' Award by ANS Board President, Sydney Martin.

Kenneth Edlow, Chairman of the ANS Board, presented the Trustees' Award to the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society and the Newman Numismatic Portal, accepted by Mrs. Linda Newman Schapiroand Mr. Leonard Augsburger, respectively.
