ANA is not the World's largest numismatic group

The ANA is not the World's largest numismatic group, not by a long
shot. The World's largest numismatic group are THE FORMER LIVING
MEMBERS OF THE ANA, which must total at least 175,000 persons. That's
approximately twice the number of persons who subscribe to Coin World,
nearly six times the number of persons who subscribe to Numismatic
News and also nearly six times the number of Living Current Members of
the ANA!!! Can 175,000 persons be entirely wrong?

The fact the C. Cipoletti and the ANA Board don't recognize this and
try to do something about it is the biggest reason to be pessimistic
about the future of the ANA.

Bob Olson, ANA member since 1978.
