Coin Collectors Are Invited to Meet the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee at the ANA Summer Seminar, June 27 and 28, 2016


(Washington, D.C.) ... The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) will meet at American Numismatic Association headquarters on the campus of Colorado College during the 2016 ANA Summer Seminar. Students, instructors, ANA staff, and members of the public are all encouraged to attend the CCAC’s meeting on Monday evening, June 27. At this public meeting the Committee will review and discuss 2018 America the Beautiful quarter design proposals, and sketches for Barack Obama’s presidential medal. Also on the agenda is a general discussion of the future of the palladium coinage program. The following morning, Tuesday, June 28, CCAC members will have breakfast on campus with Summer Seminar attendees.

“The ANA Summer Seminar offers a unique opportunity for the Committee to meet with coin collectors from around the nation,” said CCAC chair Mary N. Lannin. “Most of us are longtime collectors ourselves. We look forward to sharing ideas and hearing opinions from the hobby community to aid in formulating our recommendations.”

The eleven-member CCAC was established by Congress in 2003 to advise the Secretary of the Treasury on the themes and designs of all United States coins and medals. The Committee serves as an informed, experienced, and impartial resource to the Secretary of the Treasury and represents the interests of American citizens including coin collectors, historians, sculptors, numismatic curators, and the general public.

The ANA Summer Seminar is an annual event for numismatic learning and camaraderie that offers students a varied selection of weeklong courses designed for discovery or continued study. “Summer Seminar has helped inspire the careers of some of the country’s most respected collectors, authors, and dealers,” said ANA President Jeff Garrett, who won a scholarship to attend Summer Seminar in the 1970s and later decided to become a professional coin dealer.

More information on the CCAC is online at CCAC.gov. The American Numismatic Association web site is Money.org.

    Sounds like a fun opportunity.

    And I'm glad they've thought about a medal for Obama. I was afraid they weren't going to do one! Looks like he won't be getting a first and second term medal like other 20th and 21st century presidents.

    Things that make you say huh. I think the sail tack already aligns the boat with the wind when the CCAC wants to have a public discussion.

    2018 ATB quarter review and discuss designs? My guess, this will be a yes, everyone agrees

    BO presidential medal sketches? My guess is these will be super killer

    The future of palladium? My guess, this will be a no, palladium? No one collects palladium.

    Sounds like an agenda to me. Probably 25 in the audience attendance. Certainly will not be SRO. MHO

    You're welcome to attend the meeting! Either in person or by teleconference. It will also be reported on in the hobby newspapers.

    I'm not sure I understand? You can attend the public meeting, and members of the Committee will be there afterward to talk, share ideas, hear opinions, etc.
