Events
The Central States Numismatic Society, since its inception, holds a yearly, spring convention.[9] Likewise, in the years 1985, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2005 CSNS held a fall convention in addition to its spring convention. The CSNS convention usually partners with an auction house to provide numismatic auctions for the duration of its event. [10] The CSNS convention also has an education exhibit area filled with educational displays created by Central States members about numismatic topics. [11] In its eight-one year history, Central States Numismatic Society has not held a yearly convention only a handful of times, during World War II|WWII years 1943-1946 and 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. [12] [13] In 2018, CSNS incorporated the Chicago Coin Expo into its own convention, adding world and ancient coin dealers to its dealer base of U.S. coins and gold and silver bullion dealers. [14] Likewise, in 2019, CSNS incorporated the Professional Currency Dealers Association (PCDA) show into their annual convention further expanding their convention by including paper money dealers.
