On January 16, 2025, the Board of Trustees of the American Numismatic Society (ANS) bestowed the 2025 Trustees’ Award to the New York International Numismatic Convention (NYINC) at the Society’s Annual Gala, held at the Century Association in New York City. The award recognized the NYINC as one of the most significant conventions in the United States for the numismatic community, having brought collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts of world and ancient coins together for more than 50 years, and its longtime support of the Society’s mission.
The Society’s Annual Gala welcomed 120 guests to celebrate the NYINC and its partnership with the ANS during the successful evening, which raised more than $217,000. ANS Life Fellow Dr. Arnold-Peter Weiss served as the emcee of the evening, and ANS President David Hendin presented the Trustees’ Award.
Throughout its history, the NYINC has hosted charity auctions to benefit many non-profit organizations and has presented a series of lectures in line with the Society’s educational mission. Many of the Society’s members and supporters are regular attendees of the annual convention, which celebrates its 53rd anniversary this year.
In his remarks, ANS President David Hendin noted, “It is my honor to present this award, as the NYINC has been a tremendous facilitator of the international numismatic community and a great friend to the ANS.”
The Trustees’ Award was established in 2003, and recognizes those who have helped to advance the mission of the Society for the study and appreciation of numismatics. The Annual Gala provides critical support for the Society through proceeds from ticket sales, sponsorships, advertising, and other donations.
