Learning Opportunities

A counterfeit detection seminar will take place during the annual convention, as well as Money Talks lectures presented by noted numismatists.

"Counterfeit Detection of U.S. Coins with Emphasis on Recent Chinese-Made Fakes," presented by Brian Silliman, will be held just prior to the National Money Show, Feb. 28-March 1, 2023, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The two-day seminar will feature some of the most deceptive Chinese-made counterfeits of United States colonials, coins, tokens, bullion and bars that are currently plaguing the marketplace, which are vexing to experienced collectors and dealers alike. Hundreds of recently made examples will be available to examine along with the ANA's Counterfeit Detection set of older and highly deceptive fakes. This seminar will teach counterfeit detection of Key Date and Mintmarked coins, U.S. gold coins, and the latest wave of deceptive Chinese-made counterfeits. There will be both digital presentation and extensive hands-on coin examination.

Money Talks lectures provide members a forum in which to share their views and research with fellow hobbyists and are free to attend. The 30- to 45-minute programs include questions from the audience, and include a digital presentation. They are scheduled on the hour.

Exceptional Showcases

A big draw to the show includes the ANA's Money Museum exhibit and collector exhibits that feature rare and interesting treasures.

The Money Museum Showcase will highlight rare and historic items from the ANA's Money Museum and from private collections. Among the rarities in this year's showcase are:

• The 1943 Bronze Cent Error, a unique World War II era Lincoln cent made in 1943 of bronze alloy, rather than zinc-coated steel to conserve copper, that sold for more than $1 million two years ago.
• The 1913 Liberty Head nickel, one of the five known nickels made under mysterious circumstances at the Philadelphia Mint and insured now for $3 million.
• Baker-Manley Washingtonia medals, the ultimate grouping of numismatic Washingtonia. This collection is known for its provenance and will feature centuries-old medals honoring George Washington.
