In 1984, the American Numismatic Association recognized lifelong dedication to numismatics and presented its highest honor to him, the Farran Zerbe Memorial Award. Employed at Krause Publications since 1975, Colin R. Bruce II oversees production of all numismatic catalogue titles relating to foreign coins and paper money. He has earned 16 awards from the Numismatic Literary Guild for his work.
