Posted on 8/6/2024

New coins celebrating the ANA World's Fair of Money in Chicago are being released during the show. Special submission instructions must be followed. See the "Submission Instructions" section of this article.

In collaboration with the American Numismatic Association (ANA), Minted Assets is releasing the new ANA Show Eagles, and collectors will have the first opportunity to purchase the coins during the 2024 ANA World’s Fair of Money in Chicago. NGC will offer the First Day of Issue, First Day - ANA and 2024 Chicago ANA Releases designations for each of the three qualifying coins submitted to NGC at the ANA show, being held from August 6 to 10. Special submission instructions must be followed.

Mintages for the ANA Show Eagles are extremely limited and as follows:

  • Silvered Base Metal - Reverse Proof Ascension Island Dollar (Mintage: 1,000) – The first 200 people who visit Minted Assets at Table 730 at the show each day will receive a free example of this version. A strict limit of one coin per person will be in effect.
  • Silver - Proof Ascension Island 5 Dollars (Mintage: 600, Price: $129)
  • Gold - Proof Ascension Island 100 Dollars (Mintage: 120, Price: $3,925)

The coin’s obverse features an allegorical figure called Nomisma (the Greek word for money) seated facing left and holding the World's Fair of Money logo. The reverse pays tribute to Chicago, which is the birthplace of the ANA, as it features an eagle carrying a rose above the bust of ANA founder Dr. George F. Heath, with a background scene of downtown Chicago that includes the popular art sculpture titled Cloud Gate (also known as "The Bean").

The first-ever ANA Show Eagle was designed by acclaimed artist Joel Iskowitz, who signs certification labels exclusively for NGC and will be in attendance at the ANA at Table 730 to sign certificates of authenticity. (2024 ANA Show Eagles can be certified with the NGC Joel Iskowitz Signature Label; ask for details at the NGC Booth 100-110.)

To complement coins submitted at the show, NGC, the official grading service of the ANA since 1995, will offer an exclusive ANA certification label for qualifying coins. The label features the ANA logo and its Lamp of Knowledge member logo.

The NGC ANA label is available for coins that are purchased at the ANA show and submitted with the original purchase receipt. The label is free by request when one of these designations is selected:

  • First Day - ANA designation – Available for coins purchased on the first day of sales at the ANA show and submitted to NGC at the ANA show on that same day. The submissions must be accompanied by the original purchase receipt.
  • First Day of Issue designation – Available for coins purchased on the first day of sales and submitted to NGC at the ANA show on that same day.
  • 2024 Chicago ANA Releases designation – Available for coins purchased at the ANA show and submitted to NGC at the ANA show. The submissions must be accompanied by the original purchase receipt.

The First Day of Issue, First Day - ANA and 2024 Chicago ANA Releases designations will be listed separately in the NGC Census.

Coins received by NGC within the first 30 days of their release are eligible for NGC's popular Early Releases and First Releases designations. Learn more about Early Releases and First Releases here. For Early Releases / First Releases cutoff dates, click here.
