THE AMERICAN NUMISMATIC ASSOCIATION CENTENNIAL HISTORY
From NBSwiki
The One Hundred Greatest Items Of United States Numismatic Literature Rank: Number 69
What happens when the irresistible force meets the immovable object? Here we have Dave’s dynamic and prolific pen facing off against a hundred years of The Numismatist. In this episode, Bowers distills the century long ANA history into two mega-volumes and creates a useful companion to The Numismatist itself. While much text is reused from the ANA publication, the point is that we are seeing the annals of the ANA through Bowers’ eyes, and to be sure Bowers includes numerous personal observations regarding the material at hand. As such, whenever using The Numismatist for research, it is wise to cross-check this reference for additional commentary.
