Vegas Show Hosts Silver Dollar Panel, Panda and Hard Assets Seminar

The Las Vegas Numismatic Society Fall coin show is set for September 12-14 in Las Vegas at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino, 2411 W. Sahara. The 51st annual spring show drew 300 dealers and over 3000 visitors.

Saturday’s Silver Dollar panel extends a great opportunity to learn from silver dollar experts and authors. Meet John Highfill, Comprehensive US Silver Dollar Encyclopedia, C Logan McKechnie, VAMView Annual Price Guide, Jeff Oxman, Carson City Morgan Dollars: Coins of the GSA Hoard and Mark Witkower, Official Guide to the 1878 Reverse of ’79 Varieties.

Highfill founded the National Silver Dollar Roundtable and has been a silver dollar specialist for over 40 years. McKechnie added over 200 silver dollar varieties and revisions to the VAM list. Oxman authored Top 100 Morgan Dollar Varieties and four other standard reference works, including the Hot 50 VAMs, the Hit List 40 VAMs. This four star panel is set for Saturday, September 13 and begins at 12:00 noon. Seating is limited.

On Saturday morning, Panda collectors will want to visit with Peter Anthony, author of the Gold and Silver Panda Coin Buyers Guide, NGC consultant and World Coin News contributor. Just back from China, he was working on his new book. According to Anthony, “The first Chinese edition of Gold and Silver Panda Coin Buyers Guide was brought to press earlier this year and is already sold out. The China Financial Press, a branch of the Chinese government in Beijing, rarely publishes the work of foreign authors.” Anthony’s book signings in Beijing Xi’an in Shanghai drew both public and media coverage including five photographers.

The Las Vegas Numismatic Society coin show has been holding their annual show for over 51 years. “Pre-registered guests came from as far away as France, Australia and Canada to attend the recent spring show,” related Dawn Napolitan, CK Shows. “Las Vegas Numismatic Society is an active club and passed the 200 member mark this year with 226 registered members. A record 116 members gathered for a club meeting commemorating the 150th Anniversary of Gettysburg. The subsequent volunteerism by over 25 club members each show is characteristic and plays out in many aspects of the show, including aggressive poster placement around the Las Vegas metro-plex, registration, set-up and tear-down.” The Las Vegas Numismatic Society provides scholarships for Nevadan collegiate and numismatic education to the Las Vegas community.

In 2014, the LVNS Young Numismatist Program is reaching out to kids of all ages through displays which have been set up in local libraries throughout Las Vegas metropolitan area. The large displays typically encompass four showcases filled with coins, paper money, relics, medals, casino chips, reference books, and other interesting items. The goal is to encourage kids to start collecting, by showing them some of the exciting sides of numismatics. There is also a coin quiz posted, offering a reward if the correct answers are brought to a LVNS club meeting. Library displays have already drawn new young members. “After all who doesn’t love money?” quipped Ed Smith, Las Vegas Numismatic Society Young Numismatist committee.
