While this web site is under construction we offer our readers an advanced peek at what this databank will contain and how it will be helpful in the future.  This is, in effect, the first-ever comprehensive catalog of American medals by their makers -- the diesinkers, engravers, medallists and sculptors who created these glyptic numismatic items.  Coins and tokens are included as well, as they were often created by the same artists.

Over 40,000 items will be listed here by more than 4,150 artists.  More than 5,200 color photos will be present.  We solicit additional color photos from collectors of these objects, curators of public collections, and from dealers.  Many friends have already shared images from their collections or inventory, for which they have our thanks.  We would welcome photos and especially your sincere comments.
