Recipients of the Burnett Anderson Memorial Award

Intended to recognize quality and integrity in numismatic wordsmithing of every kind, this award was created by Krause Publications, the parent company of Numismatic News, World Coin News, Bank Note Reporter, and COINS magazine and named after longtime Krause correspondent and Washington Bureau representative Burnett Anderson. The medal was first given posthumously to Mr. Anderson in 1999, at the 108th anniversary convention awards banquet of the American Numismatic Association.

Before serving at Krause Publications, Mr. Anderson worked as a newspaper reporter, a foreign correspondent, and for 25 years at the United States Information Agency.

Today the award recognizes researchers, authors, and journalists for their career contributions to numismatics. It is presented under the auspices of the ANA and the ANS, with the participation of the Numismatic Literary Guild.
