YNA? (question for the old-timers on here)
In the early 1960s there was an organization called Young Numismatists of
America, and its president lived in Flushing NY. I lost track of it, and apprently it folded. A later YNA was apparently formed in 1990 or so, but is founder seemed to know nothing about the former organization when I emailed him some time ago. Does anyone know the scoop on this? James |

I supposed the name is buried somewhere deep in gray matter, suppressed by all the junk that has since accumulated on top of it. Thanks for the suggestion, though. James the Forgetful |

Only thing I could find is Cameron*Kiefer's address, which I assume you have. Trying to pull up the YNA's web site beings you to a fat loss site. Strange. Jerry |

Cameron is the founder of whom I spoke in the OP. I also tried Google and Yahoo earlier today but found nothing. I really don't remember how I learned of that original YNA, unless it was through Coin World or some other publication back when. I used to get the Numismatist, and it could have been in there, but I was too young to join ANA at the time, so YNA seemed the next best thing. There coulda been dues, but they would have had to be pretty low, maybe a buck or so. James the Historian |

In its early days, the YNA was an attractive way for young numismatists (YNs) to submit articles for publication. However, by late 1996, many of the YNA founders were in college and could no longer help out. The YNA slowly faded away because of lack of interest. Then, in 2001 at the ANA Summer Seminar, the young collectors decided to reform YNA. Within several years, the YNA once again ceased to exist." -- Richard http://coins.richlh.com/MyCoinLinks.htm http://www.richlh.com Don't lament that the rose bush has thorns.

I still don't see a name that I recognize from that era, though. I was pretty much done with coins by 1964 (the first time), so what I remember had to have predated that. Perhaps the organization got its start independently of the ANA, then later was taken under its wing? Anyway, thanks for that. James |
