Joseph E. Boling Awarded Honorary Doctorate of Numismatics
Longtime Summer Seminar instructor Joseph E. Boling was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Numismatics from the American Numismatic Association’s Florence Schook School of Numismatics on Thursday in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Boling is the eighth recipient of this honor - a fact sure to please Boling, as he is an avid collector of items containing the number 8, including purchasing the eighth official medal set struck for the World’s Fair of MoneySM every year.
Boling has taught at 14 consecutive Summer Seminars.
“Only Joe knows, without looking it up, exactly how many students he has taught in his Military Payment Certificate, Exhibit Judging and Detection of Counterfeit World Paper Money classes. He is, after all, a numbers guy - and, we might add, a very dedicated and effective instructor,” said ANA Executive Director Jeff Shevlin.
The ANA’s current Chief Judge, Boling is also a former member of the ANA Board of Governors, the 2005 recipient of the Farran Zerbe Memorial Award for Distinguished Service and an ANA member for 37 years. He is a former president of the International Bank Note Society and former secretary of the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association.
Boling is a retired Army colonel, with a dual concentration MBA.
Upon receiving the award, Boling said, “I am terribly honored to receive this. I called (Summer Seminar Project Manager Susan McMillan) to recommend someone for the award who wasn’t here his week. But I’m happy to be his replacement.”
The American Numismatic Association is a congressionally chartered nonprofit educational organization dedicated to encouraging people to study and collect money and related items. The ANA helps its 27,000 members and the public discover and explore the world of money through its vast array of education and outreach programs, as well as its museum, library, publications, conventions and seminars.

ANA Chief Judge Joseph Boling has devoted much of his life to collecting and a large part of his retirement years to the services of numismatics.
Mr. Boling spent a career in the US Army, after studying at the University of Washington and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He retired in 1992 with the rank of colonel. As a collector and researcher, Joseph became an expert on Japanese coins and paper money and the numismatics of World War II. He has published two books on the topic. One of which is World War II Remembered: History in Your Hands, a Numismatic Study which received rave reviews on Amazon.com. Joseph is a leading expert on counterfeiting, a subject on which he teaches for the American Numismatic Association. Mr. Boling is currently the chief exhibit judge for ANA and has been for over fourteen years.
FUN Convention TV had an opportunity to speak with Mr. Boling on the bourse floor at the FUN Show regarding his Chief Judge position and what it takes to become certified as an exhibit judge.
