Dealers if you are looking for a table in the budget section, I have bad news for you. The budget section is SOLD OUT. We still have tables available on the regular bourse floor section and in the ancient and foreign coin sections.

The theme of our January convention is "Paper Money, Portraits of History". Our Educational Display will be the largest we have ever had. Two non-competitive exhibits will dominate the exhibit area, The largest assemply of Kentucky National notes ever assembled (650 Notes) will be on display. The second display consists of a very unique collection of New York National Bank Notes, every one is serial number 1.
