2005 Medal ANA National Money Show, Brass

Coin Details

Description

This brass medal was produced for the American Numismatic Association's 2005 National Money Show, a mid-year coin show that complements the ANA's larger annual World's Fair of Money convention. The National Money Show was established to provide a second major annual gathering for the numismatic community, typically held in the spring at a different city from the summer convention. The brass composition represents the most affordable and widely distributed version of the show medal, making it accessible to casual attendees and beginning collectors. ANA show medals have become a collectible series in their own right, with dedicated collectors assembling runs of medals from different years and compositions. The three-composition offering for the 2005 show — brass, copper-nickel, and silver — follows the standard ANA practice of providing medals at multiple price points, allowing collectors to acquire the set or select the composition that suits their budget. These medals serve as dated souvenirs of a specific numismatic event and document the ANA's show calendar for posterity.
