Happy Holidays! – The PNNA would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season this year. While you’re doing your holiday shopping, why not consider a numismatic gift for someone on your list this year? Possible sources include local coin clubs, coin shows and coin dealers, online auctions such as eBay, and the U.S. Mint.
The Willamette Coin Club/PNNA 6th Annual Fall Convention & Coin Show was held Oct. 23-24, 2010, at the DoubleTree Lloyd Center Hotel in Portland.
The 4th Quarter 2010 edition of The Nor’wester was completely mailed (as of Oct. 4) and is available on this website. (see online editions page).
Puyallup Fair concludes! (Sept. 10-26, 2010). The PNNA sponsors the annual coin exhibit in the Hobby Hall, with assistance from several local coin clubs. We have handouts including magazine copies, event calendars, a coin club list and coins for junior collectors! No volunteer is knowledgeable about all aspects of numismatics – if your question wasn’t answered or if you were unable to attend the Fair, please e-mail your question to info@pnna.org, and it will be directed to a local expert for a response.
