Congratulations to Alyssa Talbott of Vero Beach, Fla., the grand prize winner in the 2009 National Coin Week Treasure Hunt.
Talbott, 10, receives a 1918 Lincoln commemorative half-dollar. Other winners included Ed Hunnicutt of La Junta, Colo., Steve
Morton of Oakley, Calif., and Brian Delmont of Kenmore, N.Y. Each received Lincoln-related numismatic prizes. Brent
Zimmerman of Cloquet, Minn., won a medallic plaque featuring the famous Lincoln portrait used for the cent, as well as a scene featuring the
portrait’s artist, Victor David Brenner. The piece was donated by member Mark Schlepphorst and Signature Art Medals (www.signatureartmedals.com). Three online ANA memberships were also awarded to
participants.
The ANA organized a treasure hunt where collectors were challenged to find five numismatic items relating to Abraham Lincoln. Anyone who finished
the hunt could report their findings on the ANA website for a grand prize drawing on May 4. Approximately 400 people registered for the drawing.
