GLEANINGS FROM THE ANA AND ANS

  Recent publications of the American Numismatic
  Association and American Numismatic Society include
  a number of items of interest to bibliophiles and researchers.

  The American Journal of Numismatics, Second Series,
  2000, from the ANS has twenty-two articles and book
  reviews.  Of interest to those who followed the discussions
  of "The Great Debate" over pioneer gold bars in The
  E-Sylum is John Kleeberg's "Three Notes on the Private
  Gold Coinage of the United States" (p215-237).  The
  notes discuss dies and hubs of US Private Gold Coinage
  in the collection of the ANS, the undervaluing of the
  gold price by minters Bechtler, Moffat, and Kohler, and
  the dies of Kellogg & Co.

  Appearing in the March 2002 issue of the ANA's
  Numismatist are pieces by Q. David Bowers on
  early U.S. numismatists John Allan and Phillip Hone of
  New York City, and Pete Smith's piece on Wells,
  Fargo & Co.   The ANA Library's "Bookmarks"
  column discusses recent donations to the library
  which will be added to the online library catalog
  on the ANA web site (http://www.money.org/)

  Also, NBS Secretary-Treasurer (and ANA Historian)
  David Sklow pictures a rare 1915 ANA medal
  related to the Panama-Pacific Exposition and seeks
  its current whereabouts.  The medal "is not to be
  found in the collection of the ANA Money Museum.
  Its whereabouts were unknown from 1915 to 1991,
  when it surfaced as lot 297 in a June 29 sale conducted
  by Presidential Coin & Antique Company."  Anyone
  with knowledge about the medal is asked to contact
  Dave at sdsklow@aol.com.
