Coin Videos

This is a video preview of the World's Fair of Money Show that occurred in August 2009 in Los Angeles. Although in the past, the video provides an idea of ANA shows in general.  A few people were interviewed, most notably Executive Director of the American Numismatic Association Larry Shepherd.

The video was shot by PCGS, and the first part is essentially a promotion for the show. They do mention that in their booth they were going to showcase the Leningrad Dutch Flying Eagle Cent Collection as well as the Dwight N. Manley Massachusetts Silver Shilling Design Set.

The last few minutes of the video is an interview of Shepherd.

"We think that the ANA summer show is, and should be, the biggest and best coin show in the nation in a given year," states Larry Shepherd, ANA Executive Director. "We're pulling out all stops this year to add what we call the WOW factor...For example, earlier this year I worked out a partnership arrangement with the Smithsonian Institute."

The Smithsonian was scheduled to bring out several coins for the display including an 1849 $20 Gold Piece, which Shepherd says may be the most valuable coin ever struck by the Mint. Also listed were St. Gaudens and all five of the known 1913 Liberty Nickels.
