Ron Drzewucki, President of CAC Grading, is the 2024 Recipient of PNG's Abe Kosoff Founders Award

The annual award is presented in recognition of lifelong dedication to the entire numismatic community.

The Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) has announced the 2024 recipients of its prestigious awards, which will be presented during the annual American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois.

The highest honor bestowed by the PNG, the Abe Kosoff Founders Award, will be presented to Ron Drzewucki, a long-time dealer and now President of CAC Grading. The award is given in recognition of lifelong dedication to the entire numismatic community.

"The Kosoff Award is named after PNG’s Founding President who spearheaded the 1955 launch of the organization," explained PNG Executive Director John Feigenbaum.

"I’ve been friends and doing business with Ron Drzewucki since 1990 and personally witnessed his decades-long commitment to the hobby from his early days as a vest-pocket dealer to his leadership role as one of the top numismatists in the country. He has been a consistent flag-bearer of PNG’s ethical standards. To be a friend or business associate of Ron is to know you have someone you can always trust and depend on no matter the circumstances," stated Feigenbaum.

The Sol Kaplan Award will be presented to Michael Fuljenz and attorney Gary Linthicum of Universal Coin & Bullion, Paul Sandler of Numismatic Guaranty Company/Certified Collectibles Group, and United States Postal Service Postal Inspector Ozzie Fong for their joint efforts and contributions in combating crimes against the numismatic community. Their determined work led to the arrest of a Beaumont, Texas postal service employee accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars of rare coins and precious metal bullion coins from the mail.

The Robert Friedberg Award will be presented to numismatic researcher Roger W. Burdette for his reference book, Saudi Gold and Other Tales from the Mint.

The Harvey G. Stack Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to former PNG President Ronald Gillio of Stack’s Bowers Galleries for his years of extraordinary service to the numismatic community.

The Significant Contribution Award will be presented to David Vagi, Numismatic Guaranty Company Ancients Director and Finalizer, for exceptional, beneficial efforts over the years on behalf of PNG, the profession, and the hobby.
