The ANA National Money Show is coming up from February 27 to March 1 at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Marietta. Our club will share a table with other clubs, and we’re looking for volunteers to help run it. It’s a great opportunity to promote our club and connect with fellow numismatists. If you're interested, please reach out to Bruce Breedlove. We are also considering getting club polo shirts or T-shirts for the event.

A reminder: to access early dealer admission and free entry to the show, you need to be an ANA member. If you're not a member yet, you can get $10 off your membership as a new member. Contact Richard Jozefiak for more details.
