For the third consecutive show, CONECA was present at the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists(PAN) Coin Show held in Monroeville, PA (Pittsburgh Suburb). PAN was gracious to give us free spaceagain for the three-day event that started Thursday October 28, 2021. Unfortunately, a last minuteissue came up that resulted in our club table not being manned for the final day of the show, so Iapologize for anyone who showed up to an empty table.

Unlike the two previous shows held in the Fall of 2020 and Spring of 2021, there weren't major covidrestrictions and procedures placed on PAN and its attendees with the exception that everyone still hadto wear a mask to enter the event. Due to the high demand for dealer and club tables, the show wasmoved to the convention center's largest room.

As in prior shows, attendance was brisk for most of the show. Activity at our CONECA club table wasfantastic as many CONECA members stopped by as well as others who had an interest in error collecting.It is amazing how our club's representation at this show is starting to take traction, as dealers aremaking referrals to our table and repeat attendees are coming with expectations of us to being there. Iwas able to hand out new membership applications to many potential members along with a samplecopy of our ErrorScope with at least two new memberships secured during the show. As always, I willhave to wait and see how many actually signed up as a result of our club's presence.

As reported after the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 show, it would have been nice to have another memberor so to help me with the table, especially someone who is more informed on varieties since myexpertise is in planchet and striking errors. I will ask again for anyone who is interested in helping duringthe Spring 2022 show, even for a few hours, to contact me......it really is a lot of fun. My contactinformation is located in your ErrorScope. Thank you!
