...Has received the ANA President's Award:

To: All CCC Members

Congratulations are in order for Bill Burd!

It just came to my attention that Club Archivist, Bill Burd, is the recipient of an American Numismatic Association Presidential Award. The honor was bestowed at the Illinois Numismatic Association Convention by ANA President Clifford Mishler (also a Club member). He cited Bill's dedication and contributions to the hobby by building a numismatic library with 12,000+ books, catalogs, periodicals, etc. and making it available to serious researchers and casual collectors who wish to learn more about the coins in their collection.

The ANA Presidential Award is given at the discretion of ANA President. Over the next two years, Mishler will present approximately 50 awards, but this was his first presentation.

To read more about this, click on the pdf attachment which is on page 68 of the November issue of The Numismatist.

Sincerely,
Carl Wolf
Secretary

    Having met the president of the ANA recently, I must say that Cliff Mishler really cares about those who really care about numismatics. That's a plus for this hobby.

    A hearty congratulations to Bill, who has served the numismatic public well for many, many years.

    Well deserved.

    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
