Overview

Mission

The organization was founded to provide a forum for collectors of numismatic material related to the early american era and to increase the public's knowledge about colonial numismatics through meetings, conventions, and newsletter publication.

What it reported doing in 2025

Prior to 1793, everyday business in the american colonies was conducted using a motley accumulation of tokens, coins, metals, and counterfeits issued by private individuals and private mints. These are known as colonial coins. The major purpose of the organization is to promote knowledge of this era through meetings, conventions, educational forums, and exhibits. Our annual convention is attended by approximately 25% of the organization's members. Approximately five regional meetings are held throughout the year in conjuction with major coin shows.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
