The annual National Money Show was held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, from March 14 to 16. The show reinforced how well the coin hobby and industry are doing. It was sponsored by the nonprofit American Numismatic Association (ANA), founded in 1891 and chartered by Congress. ANA is our national coin club, based in Colorado Springs.
While at this year's event, I visited some of the educational and whimsical exhibits both at the show and at ANA headquarters.
I spoke with many dealers and collectors who reported they had a very good show, despite a heavy snowstorm that impacted Colorado Springs on Thursday and Friday.
I go to numerous conventions each year to network with leading experts, media members and heads of organizations because it allows me to inform COINage readers about the most current information affecting the precious metals and rare-coin market.
I urge you to join the ANA (money.org), which will give you access to its library, online resources, conventions, museum and more. I have been honored to receive that organization's highest honors: Krause Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023 and Dealer of the Year in 2021.
