On Saturday, October 15, 2022, the New England Numismatic Association will hold its 78th annual Conference and Convention in conjunction with the New Hampshire Coin and Currency Expo at the DoubleTree by Hilton, 700 Elm Street, Manchester, New Hampshire. Ample parking is available at the Center of New Hampshire Parking Garage, with entrances off Elm Street and Granite Street.
There will be a NENA Club table where “experts” are available to help you identify and estimate the value of your numismatic items. Also available are applications for NENA membership, free publications and opportunities to buy this year’s convention medal. The theme for this year’s medal is “Early New England Windmills” and it pictures one of the dominant smock or skirt design mills. The first wooden windmill in New England was built in 1632, 390 years ago!
A Young Numismatist program will again be held this year on Saturday morning. There will be short talks, quizzes with prizes and lots of giveaways. If health concerns require cancellation, as was the case last year, there will be a place at the NENA table where youngsters will be able to pick up “Goodie Bags” full of coins, coin supplies and reading materials and ask questions of the NENA members at the table. On Friday, October 14th there will be a book signing at the NENA Club table by some of New England’s numismatic authors, including Manuel Ayala, John Frost, Peter Jones, MD, Kevin LaFond, Neil Musante and others.
Finally, Numismatic Exhibits have been prepared for your viewing pleasure and education. Be sure to stop by and vote for your favorite.
