Robert L. Hendershott

Robert L. Hendershott (born in 1898) is a member of the American Numismatic Association Hall of Fame. Since his birth, the North and South Poles were discovered and explored; 16 United States Presidents occupied the White House; and all of the nation's regular, circulating coinage changed several times.

Introduced to the numismatic hobby by his grandfather, a postmaster in a small Missouri town, Hendershott started collecting coins when he was just 12 years old, finding half cents, large cents, 2-cent pieces, half dimes and other obsolete coinage still in circulation.

Hendershott explored virtually every facet of the hobby, from coins and tokens to medals and paper money. He has been a member of the ANA since 1931. Some of his efforts with the ANA include exhibits chairman, and assistant and general chairman at many ANA conventions.

He was one of the key organizers of the Tampa (Florida) Coin Club and Florida United Numismatists (FUN), serving as president of both organizations. Robert Hendershott is a recipient of many of the ANA's awards. The awards include the Glenn Smedley Memorial Award, Numismatist of the Year, Lifetime Achievement Award, Medal of Merit, and the Association's highest honor, the Farran Zerbe Memorial Award for Distinguished Service. .
