Betts, Benjamin
Quiet. Studious. Hardworking. All words used to describe Benjamin Betts. The 6th president of the ANS, Betts was born in Wilmington, Delaware on June 4, 1822 and largely self-taught. He began collecting coins, medals and stamps in the 1850s.
Betts moved to Brooklyn, New York in the 1860s and began working as an auditor for the Clyde Steamship Co. He joined the ANS as a resident member in February of 1868. Betts was elected First Vice President the following year and, in March of 1870, President. Betts' presidency was not particularly distinguished—in fact, there is little evidence that the ANS met much at all during his three year tenure in that office.
