I just received this email from the American Numismatic Society:

SAVE THE DATE
On Saturday, October 10th, 2009, the ANS will be offering a program on Augustus Saint-Gaudens and his numismatic legacy. The event will feature lectures by Saint-Gaudens experts, study sessions of ANS and loan items by Saint-Gaudens, and a guided tour of the Saint-Gaudens exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Program information will soon be posted on the ANS website.

This will be the first of a series of weekend seminars on aspects of the ANS collection, at which scholars and collectors will work in small sessions through parts of the ANS collection.

For Saint-Gaudens enthusiasts, please also note that October 8th & 9th, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will be holding a symposium and various tours in conjunction with their exhibit Augustus Saint-Gaudens in The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I checked my calendar and noticed that Oct. 10th is the last day of the Coinfest show up in Stamford, CT -- 15 miles (or a 30 minute train ride) away.

I don't see anything online regarding the "special tours" planned for that weekend at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In anyone is clued in, please share.

The ANS has the audacity to run an event against Coinfest?

Now you're talking mrearlygold. I lived on fallafel at NYU Law.


I am torn whether I want to go to this ANS seminar, or attend the CoinFest show. I believe CoinFest is on Friday (I need to check), so if The Man is gracious, I can go to the coin show on Friday, and then to the ANS on Saturday (assuming Mrs. Longacre doesn't beat me like a stray dog when I suggest this).
