2005 Medal ANA National Money Show, Silver

Coin Details

Description

This silver medal was produced for the American Numismatic Association's 2005 National Money Show, representing the premium tier in the three-composition series alongside brass and copper-nickel versions. The silver composition commands the highest price and typically the lowest mintage among ANA show medals, making it the most desirable version for serious collectors of numismatic society memorabilia. Silver has been the traditional metal of honor for award and commemorative medals since antiquity, and the ANA's silver show medals carry forward this ancient association between precious metal and commemorative significance. The silver version of the 2005 National Money Show medal would have been offered at a substantial premium over the brass version, with proceeds supporting the ANA's educational programs and operations. The ANA, headquartered in Colorado Springs at the Edward C. Rochette Money Museum, uses revenue from medal sales, membership dues, and show fees to fund its mission of advancing the knowledge and enjoyment of numismatics through education and outreach.

Rarity Notes

Silver composition, the scarcest and most valuable of the three 2005 National Money Show medal metals. Limited silver mintage typical of ANA premium show offerings.
