MCDERMOTT 1913 LIBERTY NICKEL DONATION TO THE ANA
The E-Sylum (7/21/2013)
Book Content
We think readers will like the three attached images. One is of the 1967 catalog cover. The second has information along with a photo of J. V. holding the nickel. This page also has personal autographs of Aubrey Bebee and his wife Adeline Bebee. We received the catalog from Gene Johnson. His autograph is also on the page.
The last image is page 2241 which contained the nickel. The autographs of the Bebee's were obtained in 1989 in a room at the Colorado Springs, Colorado - Broadmoor Hotel. A party was held there honoring the Bebee's.
We can still remember ANA Museum Director Bob Hoge coming into the room carrying a briefcase with the nickel inside. Everyone there had a chance to hold the nickel. It was at this ANA Coin Show that the nickel was donated to the ANA Museum. We took a picture of Aubrey holding up the nickel. This photo was later turned into a slide and would have been part of one of our educational programs on Numismatic Luminaries.
