NUMISMATISTS OF WISCONSIN 60TH ANNIVERSARY

Jeff Reichenberger of the Numismatists of Wisconsin submitted this information on the group's 60th Anniversary. -Editor

N.O.W. was established in 1960 by a small group of Wisconsin collectors including facilitator Chet Krause. Their objective was simple; to encourage and promote interest in numismatics, to cultivate friendly relations between Wisconsin collectors and local coin clubs, and to educate and assist new hobbyists.

It was decided to formally organize N.O.W. that summer at an open house in Iola at the offices of Krause Publications. On July 8th, 1960 a large crowd attended, nominations of officers were set forth and elections were made. By day’s end, N.O.W. had been formally established and the membership roll had reached nearly 100. As Chet put it, "From that day on, collectors of the state had one more element of common ground to talk about, for the idea of a state organization had come to reality."

N.O.W. has continued it's mission through the years and has maintained a solid membership base concurrent with the strength of the numismatic hobby. Our 2-day statewide conventions of the past have given way to one day yearly coin shows at various cities across the state, hosted by a local club. Our 60th Anniversary show is scheduled in Oshkosh on February 16th. All are welcome!
