ANA Convention – Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – August 18-22, 2004

Several PNNA members attended the American Numismatic Association’s 113th Anniversary Convention in Pittsburgh, had a good time, enjoyed the exhibits, participated in important meetings, and maybe even made some new acquisitions! The convention was very successful, highlighted by a number of special exhibits as shown below.

The following photos show some of the people and activities associated with the convention. Photography by Eric Holcomb.

ANA Convention – San Francisco, California – July 27-31, 2005

Several PNNA members attended the American Numismatic Association’s 114th Anniversary Convention in San Francisco, had a good time, enjoyed the exhibits, participated in important meetings, and maybe even made some new acquisitions! The convention was successful, highlighted by a number of special exhibits as shown below, however public attendance and bourse activity were reportedly a bit less than the ANA and the dealers expected.
