1966 Bronze Medal D1966-1b, 76mm ANA 75th Anniversary

Coin Details

Description

Swoger catalog number D1966-1b. This 76mm bronze medal was struck at the United States Mint in Philadelphia to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the American Numismatic Association. Founded in 1891 by Dr. George F. Heath and four fellow collectors in Rochester, New York, the ANA has served as the preeminent organization for coin collectors, researchers, and dealers in the United States for over a century. The association's annual conventions, educational programs, authentication services, and publications have shaped the development of American numismatics. The 76mm large-format diameter provides generous space for detailed engraving celebrating the organization's milestone. The Swoger catalog (D-series), compiled by Tom Swoger, documents modern U.S. Mint commemorative medals from 1956 onward. This bronze medal is the large-format base-metal companion to the matte silver version in the D1966-1 series.
