The American Numismatic Association (ANA) group insurance administrator changed its name on July 1, 2000, from Albert H. Wohlers & Co. to Seabury & Smith.  However, the coverage remains the same.  "This is only a name change," says ANA Membership Director Rudy Bahr.  "Our members will continue to receive the same great coverage Wohlers has been providing the ANA for more than 25 years.  Seabury & Smith is a division of the Marsh & McLennan Companies, which has access to more markets and products, and can bring more clout in negotiating benefits and rates with insurance carriers."

Insurance coverage available to ANA members includes:

In 1998 ANA members were first offered an improved coin collection insurance plan to protect their numismatic holdings against theft, fire, flood or other natural disasters.  The Reliance Insurance Company underwrites the plan with a new, simplified rate structure and application procedure, while offering the same dependable coverage.  Unlike most homeowner's insurance policies that limit compensation for numismatic property to $250, the ANA "All-Risk" Plan offers full coverage.
