    Well, they have educational programs, a lending library, you get free admission to the ANA shows.....You also get the ability to submit coins to them or to NGC. Their monthly magazine, "The Numismatist" is pretty good. You get access to the magazine archives back to 1888.
    They're just all around pretty good for the hobby too !

    The magazine is good. And you have access to affordable coin insurance.

    I love checking out books from the library. I just got Hugh Woods insurance (as referenced in another post.)

    Since you're a dealer, it's good to support the hobby that supports you! Also probably good to show your a member to your customers.

    Do it. I got my 25 year pin at the ANA show this year. Or I would have had there been a show, anyway.

    You can't die. You're booked, to borrow a line from George Burns.

    I've been a member since 1980. Their monthly magazine is worth the cost of membership.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
