My display at our club's annual coins show.

I entered a display for our club's annual coins show this past weekend. The club is certainly one of the more famous coin clubs in America. It is the Rochester Numismatic Association, aka RNA. John J. Pittman is a former member, and I was fortunate enough to meet him shortly before his death, and get to know his wife and daughter soon after his death.

The coins that I displayed were 17 Belgian Congo coins that depicted elephants on them, including general release coins and rare to extremely rare patterns. Some of the general release coins are the finest graded and some of the patterns are the only ones graded. There was even one error piece for good measure.
