If you are looking to support one of the oldest numismatic institutions in the United States, and get a tax break at the same time, consider a donation to the American Numismatic Society (ANS). Thanks to a generous Society trustee, any donation made now through the end of the year, up to $10,000, will be matched. It doubles your donation!
To donate, follow this link. It will take you to the Society’s PayPal page, where you can make your donation directly to them. Because the Society is a Section 501(c)(3) organization, your donation is tax-deductible.
On a personal note, I have been a member of the ANS since 2018, and it is one of the most essential numismatic relationships for me. The weekly Long Table discussions and other resources make it a go-to place for research and information. Click here if you would like more information on joining the ANS.
Founded in 1858, The American Numismatic Society is dedicated to the study and appreciation of numismatics and has assembled a permanent collection of more than 800,000 coins, monetary objects, medals, and other related items dating back to 2000 BCE. The specialized library contains approximately 100,000 books, documents, and artifacts that are among the finest of such resources. Together, they comprise one of the most extensive numismatic holdings in the world. The Society is also a global leader and innovator in the development of digital numismatic resources and is one of the largest publishers of scholarly numismatic research, enjoyed by its members, fellows, and the public at large.
