Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists’ spring coin show keeps rolling at the Monroeville Convention Center this weekend.
More than 100 dealers and collectors have set up shop in the center. Some are from West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland.
Doors open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at 209 Mall Blvd.
There are U.S.-minted coins from as far back as 1793 and early forms of paper money from 1776. Some displays feature ancient Greek and Roman coins valued in the hundreds and thousands of dollars.
Featured lecturer at the show is author Rick Lank. He will present “Money, Mayhem & Might: How the Civil War Changed our Money … And How Money Changed the War.”
The talk is set for noon Saturday. People can contact the author via email at diesinker1861@gmail.com.
