The American Numismatic Association’s 2015 World’s Fair of Money – the most important numismatic event of the year – regaled 8,635 people at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill, Aug. 11-15.
The Numismatic Crime Information Center will offer a one-day training course on “Numismatic Crime Investigations” for local, state and federal law enforcement officers during the ANA World’s Fair of Money August 11-15, 2015 in Rosemont, Illinois. The 8 hour class is designed to provide law-enforcement personnel, including patrol officers, detectives, investigators and prosecutors, with the fundamental investigative techniques, knowledge and understanding to respond effectively to the complex challenges encountered during a numismatic crime. The class will be held at the Donald Stephens Convention Center on August 12, 2015 from 8:30am-4:30pm and is free to law-enforcement personnel.The objective is to provide investigative tools and resources to the law enforcement community during the investigation of a numismatic crime”, said Doug Davis Founder and President of the Numismatic Crime Information Center. In addition to classroom work attendees will enhance their educational experience by walking the bourse floor and observing the many facets of the numismatic world. The class will be the second presented at a major ANA event and we hope to continue our partnership with the ANA in delivering these classes across the country, said Davis. Topics to be covered in the one-day course include: types of coins, medals, tokens and paper money; factors effecting numismatic crime, especially as it relates to counterfeiting; precious metals, including new laws governing the purchase of such metals; crime scene evaluation; jurisdictional issues; EBay and postal crimes; organized crime groups and a look at the victims of numismatic crimes.
In 1893, the ANA’s annual convention (what we know today as the World’s Fair of Money) was held in Chicago at Douglas Hall at the corner of 35th street and Cottage Grove Avenue.
The second ANA convention took place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 1, 1892. The original plan was for the convention to be held at the beautiful Niagara Falls but in the September issue of The Numismatist it was stated that the convention was rescheduled to Pittsburgh. No explanation was included.
Q. David Bowers began his journey with the American Numismatic Association in 1955. He was a teenager when he held a bourse table at the annual convention in Omaha. Bowers would go on to become one of the most prolific writers in the history of numismatics, publishing numerous books and articles along the way. One of those writing projects was to record the history of the ANA.
