Presidential Award General Information

PNNA President Larry Gaye decided to introduce the Presidential Award in 2007 as a way to recognize active and involved numismatists other than those selected for the Everett or Nystrom awards. The award is patterned after the ANA Presidential Award at the national level. If you wish to nominate someone to receive the PNNA presidential award, please contact the PNNA president (as listed on the officers page) directly.
