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.
In the June 1891 issue of The Numismatist, founder George F. Heath called upon the public asking for letters in favor of establishing the ANA. He wrote, “What’s the matter of having an American Numismatic Association? Would it be possible? Would it be practicable? All in favor of such a scheme, send in your names.”
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.
