There was some years ago.
It went silent a couple years after Helen Carmody passed. You may want to try and obtain a copy of their journals, The Commemorative Trail.
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Ah very cool. John Kraljevich mentioned Helen in the awe-inspired by meeting a famous numismatist thread.
I found the text of Issues 13 and 14 here. I'll need to see if I can track down some PDFs.

Still need to find more information about this group.
Not all of the issues are listed on NNP but you can view quite a few.

Very nice source for archived issues of the Society for U.S. Commemorative Coins.
I just found more information on Helen and was impressed by her accomplishments:
I was a member from 1986 to 1993 and have all the issues for 1991-1993 handy.
Doing an email search, I also bought huge 40+ copy group lot of issues spanning from 1985-1999 which are boxed up in storage.
Thanks for the info @BustDMs and @78saen @Broadstruck
I've updated the thread title to celebrate the numismatic society and journal
