Benefits of Membership
Membership in the ANS is open to all with an interest in numismatics. Members receive a range of benefits including the Society's annual journal, the American Journal of Numismatics, and are informed about forthcoming events and opportunities through receipt of the Society's quarterly ANSNewsletter and special mailings. An added benefit instituted in 1997, which will be offered again in 1998, provides members the opportunity to receive a free subscription to the Colonial Newsletter, a journal devoted to the numismatic history of the United States during the pre-federal period. CNL was donated to the ANS by the CNL Foundation in 1997 and appears three times per year under the able editorship of Dr. Philip L. Mossman.
