David Crenshaw emailed me last night, reporting that Ken Bressett was honored with a Doctor of Numismatics degree from the American Numismatic Association at Thursday's ANA banquet.
Ken began his work with Whitman Publishing in 1959. He has written and/or edited numerous books, including, most famously, the Guide Book of United States Coins (the "Red Book"). With more than 22 million copies sold, the Red Book is one of the best-selling nonfiction titles in the history of American publishing, and Ken has been its main editor for 35 years.
Other recent Bressett works include Money of the Bible and Milestone Coins: A Pageant of the World's Most Significant and Popular Money, both winners of national literary awards.
The ANA's honorary doctorate is just the latest in a long list of honors and awards Ken has earned in his many years in the hobby.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Can the ANA do that??
