Ken Bressett is one of the most accomplished numismatists I have ever encountered. His knowledge of numismatics starts with the origins of money in the ancient world and spans millennia through the modern coinage of today. He can answer questions about Athenian owls or the recent mintage figures for Presidential dollars. Many of the books Ken has written and edited are still standard references for their subjects.
Also in connection with that anniversary, Whitman is offering an antique-finish, nickel-silver commemorative medallion --- the first we've issued in some time. Its mintage was limited to 500 (individually numbered), and each medal is encapsulated by ANACS in a special slab and packaging. The medal features the Daughtrey dual portrait of Yeoman and Bressett. About 150 of the 500 were reserved for Red Book contributors, and the remaining 350 were offered at the World's Fair of Money in August of 2006.
Most lie in private collections and many whereabouts unknown!!
