Various materials relating to the Society’s publications, membership, and fundraising, including the purchase and distribution of medals and publications and records of publications sent to members. Includes Joseph N.T. Levick’s annotated copy of the first volume of the American Journal of Numismatics (AJN) (1866), along with the original circular announcing the publication’s debut (pasted in) and accounts and lists relating to coin purchases either for him personally or for the Society. (It was Levick who first proposed the publication of AJN and he served as its first editor.) Also of note is correspondence relating to the purchase and distribution of Albert Frey’s Dictionary of Numismatic Names (1917-1918); correspondence regarding the efforts to raise funds to purchase the Swedish coin collection of Robert Robertson (1929.103), and subscription forms and letters for the School for Coin and Medal Designing and Die Cutting and for two of the Society’s earliest medals: Membership (1875-1880) Charles E. Anthon (1884).

Letters and completed forms from persons, historical societies, and other associations acknowledging receipt of ANS publications such as proceedings, circulars, printed lectures, and the Society’s constitution and bylaws. Most are perfunctory, though some touch on other matters. A letter (1884) from William Legett Bramhall, one of the Society’s first members (joined November 3, 1858), discusses his desire to start a numismatic society in Washington D.C. and mentions his remaining coin collection housed in three walnut cases obtained from Joseph Levick. Edward Cogan refers to “the [David] Proskey disgraceful fair,” adding, “he deserves to be exposed” (1878).
