ANA Governor Cliff Mishler talks with RRVCC exhibitors at the 60th RRVCC show.

60TH ANNUAL RED RIVER VALLEY COIN CLUB SHOW

• Was held Sat. and Sun. 1/25-26/20. We don't have a complete tally of attendance at this point, but it appears we had the highest attendance numbers in the last 10 to 15 years and we again had several new nembers join. Vendors indiacted that business was good. These observations indicate that coin collecting is alive and well in the Red River Valley.
• NGC created a "sample" slab to commerate the RRVCC's 60th annual coin show. A limited run of fifty 1956-D Lincoln Cents were encapulated and sold at the show. Thank you to Jason J. for his work on this project.
• ANA Governor Cliff Mishler is a member of the RRVCC. We awarded him the commemerative slab that matched his membership number. [Link]
