Here are some of the research and writing awards earned by forum members. These folks provide the historical background and sequence of events that give depth and meaning to our collections.
The Heath Literary Award acknowledges outstanding articles published in the preceding 12 months. First place went to Pete Smith, Joel J. Orosz and Leonard Augsburger for “A More Accurate History of the 1792 Half Disme” (August 2017), in which they described Thomas Jefferson’s connection with the coin’s production. Roger Burdette earned second place for his feature article, “Rescued Rarities” (June 2017). Allan Schein received third place for “The Identity of Pratt’s Indian” (November 2017).
The Wayte and Olga Raymond Memorial Literary Award, endowed in 1978 by the late John J. Ford Jr., is presented for articles that display original and comprehensive research in U.S. numismatics. The August 2017 study by Smith, Orosz and Augsburger received first place, and Burdette’s June 2017 work earned second place. David McCarthy garnered third place for “Nova Constellatio: Identifying the First American Coin” (August 2017).
