    Roger W. Burdette

    The Numismatist of the Year award recognizes collectors at the regional and/or national level who have demonstrated outstanding leadership within the hobby and the ANA.

    The 2023 recipient is longtime collector and former Citizen’s Coinage Advisory Committee member Roger W. Burdette.

    Burdette started collecting by filling holes in coin folders with pocket change and searching coin rolls. In the 1970s, he pioneered accurate, high-quality photography. By the 1990s, he was specializing in numismatic research and writing, which led to his discovery of several U.S. pattern pieces. A prolific author, he has published over 90 research articles, contributed to publications such as The Numismatist, Coin World, and CoinWeek, and written several books, including the three-part Renaissance of American Coinage series and A Guide Book of Peace Dollars. Burdette is a member of the Rittenhouse Society and was on Coin World’s 2021 list of the Most Influential People in Numismatics.

    and my Mentor on my book project. He helps everyone who asks.

    You can add to that his impressive contributions from that research which he shared to us here on this forum.

    I can add: Always willing to make the time, always follows-up and shares any and all knowledge he has.

    Disclaimer: I'm not a dealer, trader, grader, investor or professional numismatist. I'm just a hobbyist. (To protect me but mostly you! 🤣 )

    My favorite living numismatist is Tony Terranova. I have learned a lot from him and always enjoy our conversations either in person or via text and/or phone.

    One of the sharpest coin dealers I ever met. He knew what he wanted and never batted an eye when bidding at auction, even up to the mid six-figures.

    Maybe that is the secret reason I never became a coin dealer. I HATE yellow mustard. James

    I know one numismatist in person: the guy that I meet at the coinstar a few times a month who searches boxes for forty percent halves. I think that he has over-niched and does not spread info except for how many he found and a few record hauls from the past.
    So, that leaves you members as my favorites.

    The very accomplished @BustDMs
    He’s telling me I’m #1 here. Such a good friend.

    Hannah still showing off her winnings from a S&B auction.

    Hannah is a Doll, that's an easy win over Captain Grumpy Pants @BustDMs , every day :D:D:D

    What one finger was he holding up anyway?

    I would choose @habaraca the free dessert genius and his chauffeur @Pnies20.

    Probably QDB for living numismatists. Franklin Roosevelt and Truman were coin collectors, they have Truman's at the money museum.

    A lot of great people listed. I didn’t see Tett, from Missouri Cabinet fame. A very down to earth guy. After some careful thought, Rick Snow is my favorite living dealer.

    I could only think…..dumb and dumber…..😝

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    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.
