Editor’s Notes

The new year is off to another start which is very different than last year at this time. Hope that everyone has had a decent year so far and that it continues to be good throughout the remainder of the year. With the precious metals taking off the way they did, it has a tendency of bringing out some of the metals that has been in a safety deposit box for awhile.

There has been several major shows that has taken place during the first 3 months and they all have been very well attendant. The FUN show in Florida during January was really busy for everyone and what I have gather was a very good show. If we can keep this going through all of the shows the remainder of the year then it would be a very good year.

Barry Ciociola is asking for speakers for the 49th Annual BRNA Convention. On page 7 is Barry’s phone number and email address if anyone is interested.

Bob Hurst, Bourse Chairman has provided an article about the Bourse and it appears that we will have another sell-out Convention.

The Low Country Coin Club has provided an article about their show that was held this past February. This seems to be a very good show since they were sold out and had an attendance of 1400 through the doors. Included with the article are a couple of pictures that were taken.

For clubs that hosts a Coin Show and would like to submit an article concerning the show with some photos for placement in the BRNA Journal. Submit to the editor (Ron Blackman, address and email is listed under the Board of Directors).
