A Thursday (October 17) noon ribbon cutting will welcome all public coin enthusiasts. Thursday evening will be the PAN Banquet booked at the iconic LeMont Restaurant overlooking the Pittsburgh city skyline.

Friday will feature the newly named Richard C. Jewell Lecture Series sponsored by Stack’s Bowers Galleries in memory of longtime PAN Clarion editor, board member, and accomplished numismatist Rich Jewell who died this summer. PAN is proud that Stack’s Bowers Galleries has offered this sponsorship in memory of Rich.

ANA President Tom Uram will introduce a fine lineup of speakers and topics that will begin at 1 p.m. with Patrick Hipple from the Osborne Mint presenting “OPA Ration Tokens” followed by siege coin expert and author Dr. Lawrence Korchnak presenting “Real Rarities: World Coins with a Mintage of Less than 100”.

The show floor also has an active coin club area that includes five Pittsburgh area coin clubs along with specialty coin clubs.
