Rare Coin Wholesalers, of Dana Point, Calif., is offering a free year of membership for all new members of the American Numismatic Association.   Aimed to increase ANA membership, Rare Coin Wholesalers will pay the second year of dues when new members apply for a oneyear membership.

"I believe in the ANA, and every collector should too," said Steve Contursi, president of Rare Coin Wholesalers, in a press release.   "The ANA offers excellent educational benefits for all levels of collectors from beginning to advanced." 

To obtain the free year of ANA membership, new applicants can write "RCW" on their membership form or download an ANA membership form from the Rare Coin Wholesalers Web site, www .RCW1. com.

"This program is for people who have not been ANA members, giving them the opportunity to experience the benefits the ANA has to offer," said Chris Cipoletti, ANA executive director.   "It is not available for renewing or lapsed members of the ANA."
