ANS Page Says Adam M. Levine Will Receive Its 2026 Trustees' Award at a Jan. 15, 2026 Gala
In an event page published on November 22, 2025, the American Numismatic Society announced its 2026 Annual Gala, scheduled for January 15, 2026, at the Harvard Club of New York City and honoring Adam M. Levine, president, director and CEO of the Toledo Museum of Art. The page says the 2026 Trustees' Award recognizes his assistance and partnership in facilitating the Society's future relocation to Toledo, Ohio.
Correction (Oct 13, 2026): We rewrote the headline, summary and body to match the source. We removed unsupported claims, including descriptions of Levine as a leader in international grading standards, online price transparency and beginner education, as well as statements about 19th-century coin prices, blockchain and AI authentication, institutional investment and inflation hedging. We made clear that the source is an event announcement published on November 22, 2025, and stated the honoree's background and the reason for the award (his help with the Society's relocation to Toledo) as the source gives them. The previous headline was "Adam Levine Honored at American Numismatic Society 2026 Gala: Certification Standards Transform Market Transparency."
