The Professional Currency Dealers Association, Central States Numismatic Society and the Chicago Coin Club will collaborate to produce a
four session numismatic education symposium on Sunday, November 22 in Rosemont, Illinois. Held in conjunction with the November 19-21 30th
Annual National Coin and Currency Convention, the event will take place at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare, located at 5440 North River
Road, one mile from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
Ray Lockwood, Education Director for CSNS said, “Our CSNS sponsored educational forums held in association with other numismatic
organizations have proven to be highly popular. Our November Rosemont presentation will feature four well known speakers, Steve Feller, Dr.
Lawrence Lee, Mark Hotz and Peter Huntoon. Dr. Feller’s subject will be The Money of Iowa from Pre-Civil War to World War II Prisoner of
War Scrip. His program will open the symposium at 9am. He’ll be followed at 10:30am by Dr. Lawrence Lee, speaking on The Gold
Banknotes of Clark Gruber & Co., Denver City, Colorado Territory 1861-1863. Numismatic columnist Mark Hotz will talk about John
Dillinger: America’s Most Wanted and the Banks He Robbed at 1pm. The closing speaker will be national bank note researcher Peter
Huntoon at 2:30pm on Colonel Green: America’s Most Extravagant Collector.”
