The silent auction, now in its second year, will benefit the Robert Lecce Advanced Scholarship Program. Twenty-four ANA members earned full and partial Lecce scholarships to attend the 2015 Summer Seminar.
Last year, the silent auction featured such numismatic items as U.S. Mint sets, gold and silver U.S. modern commemoratives and world coins. Non-numismatic items included gift certificates to a variety of businesses, autographed baseballs by Greg Maddux and Ferguson Jenkins, and dinner with Steve Ivy and Greg Roberts of Heritage Auctions and Stack’s Bowers Galleries.
The banquet also features the presentation of the Association’s highest honor, the Farran Zerbe Award.
Tickets are $100 and can be purchased at the show, Shop ANA Table 1900. Online registration is no longer available.
Members are invited to donate items to support the silent auction. Please contact Amber Bradish at 719-482-9865 or bradish@money.org with your donation. Numismatic and non-numismatic items will be accepted. Free educational appraisals at World's Fair of Money
The Free Appraisals Area provides educational insight on the value of a coin, which is useful not only for buying and selling, but also when determining whether the value justifies the expense of having it graded. Coin appraisals are not binding and are for educational purposes only. Attendees having materials appraised are welcome to sell those items at the show for a price to be agreed upon by buyer and seller. |
