Greetings, fellow numismatists! NASC’s Golden State Coin Show was a defi nite success. I want to thank all the hard-working volunteers who made this the best show possible. Every one of you was important to the success of the show. There are a few people I will single out to thank for their contribu- tions. Kay Lenker, bourse chairman, always works hard to line up dealers. Thanks goes to Armando Nieto for printing the raffl e tickets. Phil Iversen, Don Berry, and Roy Iwata set up the comfortable dealer’s room. After the show they broke down the equipment and returned it to storage. Roy Iwata stepped in at the last minute to chair the exhibits, and recruited 13 exhibi- tors who showed many interesting displays. Mary Yahalom chaired the front desk with charm and excellence and also published the show program. Mary was assisted at the front desk by Jerry Yahalom and Vicki Jaramillo. The Scouts Merit Badge workshop was a resounding success, with 43 boy and girl scouts participating. Great job, Walter Ostromecki and Albertus Hoogeveen, and thank you to Garrett Burke for the interesting presentation. We were fortunate to have ticket-seller extraordinaire Janet Reeves lending her expertise during the show. George Moore organized the delicious award banquet, and his company sup- plied the awards. My gratitude goes out to Harold Katzman for his enthusiastic personality and skills behind the Nona G. Moore 35th Gold NASC Club Benefi t Drawing. The prizes enticed many people to buy tickets. We were able to return over $3900 to the clubs for their treasuries. As the show wound down, I was able to speak with several of the dealers about how the GSCS could be improved. I received suggestions which I will share at the next board meeting. Congratulations to Editor Greg Burns for the astounding ninth year in a row that the TCN has received top honors in the ANA regional publication awards. Happy collecting!g! AlexAlex Jaramillo NASCNAS President 4 The California Numismatist • Fall 2013 CSNA... First and foremost, congratulations to Editor Greg Burns! Again, TCN is the “best regional publication”! Wow! Second, I have appointed Roy Iwata (Seal Beach), and Edwin Hoff- mark, Jr. (Vallejo), to serve as direc- tors, replacing two recent resignations. Third, elsewhere in this issue, there are updates and notices for our upcoming Convention and Coin Show in Long Beach. “Captain Howard”, Vice-President Howard Feltham, is holding fi rm to the helm, has set sails, and plotted a course for the good ship “CSNA Convention Fall 2013”. Pull Who’s better dressed? anchor, set sails, and chart course this November to Long Beach! Other reports and happenings can be read in the next pages, but at this point I would like to submit to our readers and members that the concerns and issues before our hobby and our association require thought and thinking much differently, and that can be diffi cult. In short, we—as a hobby, with our local coin clubs, and for our association as well as compatriots, the NASC—need to think and to act globally. It is not just a digital age. It is now the social media age. When my once- bankrupt hometown now has QR codes to report potholes, and our association still lacks a Facebook page, well, we are behind. True, many customs and com- mon practices remain; yet, there are technological advances, sadly, leaving our hobby, clubs, and association at the bus stop waiting. I would welcome thoughts from our members or anyone, and can be con- tacted at [email protected]. Closing, the legendary prizefi ghter, Mohammed Ali, remarked that “a man who views the world the same at fi fty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.” The same applies to our “world of money”. Remember: have fun with your hobby! Always serve others! Enjoy your col- lecting! And, create hope

  • Highest Honor Awards Given to Numismatists Making a Difference
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, July 27, 2018 CONTACT: Amanda Miller Telephone: 719-482-9871 E-mail: [email protected] Highest Honor Awards Given to Numismatists Making a Difference The American Numismatic Association (ANA) is recognizing several numismatists who not only lead by example, but pave new pathways within the numismatic hobby. Recognized for their dedication, hard work, passion and contributions, these recipients will be recognized at the World’s Fair of MoneyⓇ in Philadelphia, Aug. 14-18. Those being recognized are: Cindy Wibker for the Farran Zerbe Memorial Award for Distinguished Service David J. McCarthy for Numismatist of the Year Abigail Zechman for the Young Numismatist of the Year Mark Lighterman for the Lifetime Achievement Award The Farran Zerbe Memorial Award for Distinguished Service is the highest honor conferred by the American Numismatic Association. It is given in recognition of numerous years of outstanding, dedicated service to numismatics. Cindy Wibker is the recipient of this year’s award. For 25 years, Wibker has dedicated her career to Florida United Numismatists (FUN) as convention coordinator, organizing one of the premier shows in the country. This is no easy task, as FUN’s annual January show regularly draws an average of 10,000 attendees over four days, and its summer event, held each July, welcomes about 3,000 hobbyists. Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, the young Wibker enjoyed filling Whitman nickel and cent folders with pocket change and acquiring specimens through mail-order businesses. However, her mind turned to other pursuits. Growing up she enjoyed spending time outside playing different sports, going to games, spending time with her family and riding her bike.
