• See the PNNA detailed exhibit rules and get the 2011 exhibit application as a PDF file.

• At the Tukwila convention, there will be space available for those who wish to exhibit. Just bring your display to the convention and report to the Exhibit Chairman. You will be registered and given display cases. (Note: advance registration is recommended to ensure availability of cases, especially for large exhibits.) If you wish to exhibit competitively, you must have your exhibit in place on time (by noon Saturday). Join the fun, exhibit!

• See the exhibit rating sheet (how your exhibit will be judged).

• Get the old PNNA exhibit application (currently not available). The old exhibit application is four pages long, just like ANA’s. Pages 2-4 are only needed if you intend to have someone else place or remove your exhibit or if you are a multiple winner of first place awards at previous PNNA conventions. (You can still use these special pages for the current year if needed. Contact the exhibit chairman or chief judge.)

4th Quarter 2010 — There will be an expanded exhibit area on one side of the room near the entrance. Please bring your exhibits even if you didn’t contact Larry Rowe in advance (however, cases may be limited). Eric Holcomb will be available to consult. (Also see "PNNA / Willamette Coin Club Show Exhibits" below.)

2nd Quarter 2010 — Collector exhibits are encouraged at the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association convention and coin show, April 16-18, 2010 in Tukwila. Exhibits will be displayed in a separate room across from the bourse area. This room will only be for exhibits, and for club tables for clubs that would like to participate. This arrangement allows more space for exhibits and makes it easier for the public to view your display. Exhibiting is not complicated. Just bring you display and register it at the Exhibit Chairman table. Exhibits need to be in place by noon on Saturday to be eligible for exhibit awards. A limited number of standard Allstate cases will be available if needed. Exhibits can be competitive or non-competitive. Remember that the PNNA best of show winner receives $200 in assistance to take the winning exhibit to the ANA anniversary convention in the same year. (The 2010 convention is in Boston.) I hope to see your exhibit at the convention! — Larry Rowe, ph. 360-573-9827, e-mail klrowe@pacifier.com.

Note: If you would like to complete the simplified one-page exhibit application in advance (recommended), please contact Larry or see the PNNA website. If you intend to have someone else place or remove your exhibit or if you are a multiple winner of first place exhibit awards at previous PNNA conventions, please contact Larry Rowe or chief judge Eric Holcomb for the necessary information and forms.

Boling, the official PNNA rules for exhibiting and judging, and the PNNA exhibit application and sample exhibit rating sheet.

The PNNA-Willamette Coin Club Annual Fall Convention & Coin Show is held each fall in Portland. Exhibits at this show are encouraged, and have good public visibility on tables at the center of the main aisle. However, there were not any competitive exhibit awards at the fall show in 2009. We're pleased to report that competitive exhibit awards were reinstated for the 2010 show, with very short advance notice! (See the 2010 results | 2011 results.)

• Spring convention – The ANA early spring convention (National Money Show™) in 2009 was in Portland, Oregon; the 2010 show was in Fort Worth, Texas; and the 2011 show was in Sacramento, California. If you are interested in exhibiting at future spring conventions, write to ANA headquarters and request the exhibit rules and application, or find them on the ANA web site at www.money.org. The case limit for spring shows is completely different from summer shows (up to fifteen cases if you show only one exhibit), which provides an opportunity to show the large exhibit you have always had in the back of your mind.

• Summer (anniversary) convention – If you want to exhibit at the ANA anniversary convention (World’s Fair of Money®) in Philadelphia (2012) or Chicago (2013-2014), ask ANA for an exhibit application (see the information above about how to apply).
