In the early 1960s there was an organization called Young Numismatists of

is founder seemed to know nothing about the former organization when I
emailed him some time ago.

Does anyone know the scoop on this?

I thought I'd give it a shot and Google it up. Sad to say, nothing
substantive to be found. Only thing I could find is Cameron Kiefer's
address, which I assume you have. Trying to pull up the YNA's web
site beings you to a fat loss site. Strange.

Googling "Young Numismatists of America" came up with a bunch of websites
which reference the YNA's.

including aWikipedia ANA site

which says

"The YNA
The Young Numismatists of America was a worldwide coin organization that was
founded in 1990 at the ANA Summer Seminar. In its early days, the YNA was an
attractive way for young numismatists (YNs) to submit articles for
publication. However, by late 1996, many of the YNA founders were in college
and could no longer help out. The YNA slowly faded away because of lack of
interest. Then, in 2001 at the ANA Summer Seminar, the young collectors
decided to reform YNA. Within several years, the YNA once again ceased to
exist."
