Fall Convention Info by Ed Fischer, General ChairmanAnother warm and dry summer has now come to an end and the fall gives us the sign of another upcoming numismatic season. Even though many of us collect year round, there is a lull in activity when families are vacationing and enjoying summer time together. Portland will kick off the season with its annual show on the weekend of October 20-22. Be there to renew the connections you have with your coin collecting family. Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association (PNNA) and Willamette Coin Club (WCC) will be hosting the event, with most of the solid dealers we’ve grown to love bringing a wide variety of new inventory. Solid, good quality coins have continued to show growth. I always love exploring and listening to adventures of acquisition. This year there will be additional national dealers. More good stuff. The show will open on Friday for those willing to pay the early bird price while dealers are setting up. As it has been in recent years, the dealers will be setting up at the Doubletree Lloyd Center at 1000 NE Multnomah St, Portland, Ore. On Saturday and Sunday the bourse floor opens at 10 a.m. Early bird opportunity will be offered for $20 both days, 8 a.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sunday. Closing times are 6 p.m. on Saturday and 4 p.m. on Sunday. Regular general admission is at 10 a.m. PNNA is planning to host a table showing just part of the group’s collection and discussing the benefits of membership. At a recent board meeting, our own Tony Kalt displayed a chunk of the historic memorabilia. Tony recently picked up fabulous show medals produced by our own Greg Franck-Weiby. His plan is to fill several display cases with ribbons, medals, badges and advertising in the exhibit area. Rick Schultz will also have a new design for the annual elongated cent. Walter Ostromecki, past ANA President and board member, will be in attendance. As usual, he will operate the Young Numismatist scavenger hunt, with free collectibles and coins for beginning collectors. Walt is a wealth of information and tall tales from his years of experience in the collecting world. This year I will offer free appraisals on subject matter I am familiar with or refer folks to dealers that specialize in areas I am not well educated. Come by table #1 to say hi and have any other questions answered. Roman, modern, foreign, ancient, literature or supplies, it can be found somewhere on the bourse floor. We welcome all to the show to reacquaint with old friends, meet new and hunt out those treasures to fill in the gaps of your collection. Hope to see you there.
