During the American Numismatic Association’s (ANA) 100th Anniversary Convention (aka The World’s Fair of Money, the first ANA convention to use this marketing theme) in August, 1991, the then Vice President of the ANA, Edward C. Rochette, gave a presentation at the show’s Numismatic Theater on Sherlock Holmes & Numismatics. Later in the week, at the closing banquet of the convention, Rochette was sworn in as the new President of the ANA and started his two year term. Below, we have the complete video recording of Ed’s presentation. Enjoy!
