Congratulations are due to the American Numismatic Association for landing a significant coin donation to the Edward C. Rochette Money Museum.
Yesterday the organization announced that it had received a gift of a 1792 half disme from California coin dealer Steven L. Contursi, president of Rare Coin Wholesalers based in Irvine. He is well known in recent years as a buyer of many prestigious American coins. A value of $220,000 was placed on the half disme.
What a wonderful antidote this is to any lingering negative feelings that might have been generated among the ANA membership by news of the 2007 theft of almost $1 million in coins revealed on Jan. 12.
