NCNA History
The “North Carolina Numismatic Association” was originally formed in 1959 as the “North Carolina Coin Clubs Association” . The founding fathers purpose was to bring together local coin clubs and their members, as well as those interested in numismatics to areas where no local clubs were available.
The hope that one centralized state organization could help to bring benefits to the local area for additional education, promotion and assistance in maintaining and forming local clubs. The NCNA is continuing to attempt to do so. At present there are 27 Clubs within the State as well as neighboring States that participate in the efforts.
The Directors and Officers of the NCNA are continually looking for ways that they can help to provide educational opportunities and additional benefits for it’s Membership.
The Association holds an annual convention in the fall of each year. In addition to a bourse that features over 100 tables, the Association provides space and display cases for educational numismatic exhibits. Individuals compete for prizes that are awarded at the convention banquet. The convention always draws many informative and well-crafted exhibits.
The Association also publishes a quarterly journal, the NCNA Journal. It features a president’s message, articles written by members, a coin show calendar, profiles of member clubs, and advertisements from member dealers.
