MICHIGAN STATE SHOW NOVEMBER 17-19, 2023

MICHIGAN STATE NUMISMATIC SOCIETY TO HOST ANNUAL FALL CONVENTION

The Michigan State Numismatic Society is excited to share information about its upcoming convention, held on a new date and in a new location! The dates of the new show are Friday, Nov. 17-Sunday, Nov. 19 at the Radisson Hotel in Southfield! We have some excellent speakers presenting all kinds of topics for us, ranging from Notgeld coins to Fake Slabs and hints for starting a local coin club. Please see the schedule below.

We are also excited to be welcoming some new dealers to our show – since it's not on Thanksgiving weekend, new dealers have signed up to come and visit us in the Detroit area! We will also have a great line-up of exhibits for you to view, as well as a YN program for all the youth to attend on Saturday!

We hope that you will be able to join us for the show and hope that you will find our convention to your liking! For more information, please visit the MSNS website at www.michigancoinclub.org and plan to attend!

Counterfeit slabs are here to stay, whether we like it or not. Over the past four years Isaiah has given various talks and educational seminars about fake slabs, as well as a lot of behind the scenes research into the latest fakes coming from Asia. This seminar provides an update into his research and the past few years since the last seminar, as well as a mini seminar on detecting the latest fakes, and how to avoid them in the marketplace.

   

As World War I dragged on, a shortage of small change developed throughout Germany. Municipalities, states, and private firms attempted to fill the need for coins by producing emergency money from materials such as paper, metal, porcelain, and some even more exotic. This presentation will focus on coins struck in metal and other materials. Coins issued after the war for collectors and during the hyperinflation period will also be reviewed. Jim VanderRoest has been a coin collector since the age of nine. He is an attorney in private practice in Kalamazoo, a member of the Kalamazoo Numismatic Club and a board member for MSNS. He is also a member of ANA.

Host of YouTube's "Coins Making Cents", Kevin Markman has been collecting coins for over thirty-five years. From coin collector to numismatist and now coin dealer, Kevin enjoys sharing his knowledge of coins to all who will listen. When not working with coins, Kevin is a computer programmer and data scientist for a local health system. Join Kevin as he delves into his two passions, coins and computers. He will be discussing the tools and technology that are available to help anyone with enhancing their appreciation of numismatics.

   

Join Tom Coulson, owner of Liberty Coin Service in Lansing, and a member of the MSNS Board of Governors, as he discusses how Native Americans have been portrayed on US coins and their cultural relevance to Native American people.
