WPNS CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF ANA MEMBERSHIP
The Western Pennsylvania Numismatic Society joined the American Numismatic Association in June 1914. WPNS will be honored for their 100 years of membership at the association's banquet at the ANA's World's Fair of Money in August.
Founded in 1878, the Pittsburgh-based organization was my first coin club, and it's still going strong. Member Pat McBride is assembling a non-competitive exhibit for the convention, and included are some of the society's medals. Pat provided the following images of a couple of them. -Editor
