Hello Guests, Volunteers, Dealers,
WOW! What a Great Coin Show!
Our Sunday February 15, 2026 International Coin Show turned out to be one of our best one day coin shows with 1,152 guests, collectors, coin dealers and dealer assistants attending the the PANS & WCC International Coin Show at the APCC in Troy, MI.
Thanks to the PANS volunteers who worked two shifts on Saturday, 02/14/2026 Valentine Day morning and Saturday night till 3:30am to get all three halls set up for the coin show.
Thanks to the WCC Volunteers who helped on Sunday morning assisting the handicap coin dealers at 7:00am. And thanks to the WCC Volunteers who helped out at the front table in selling raffle door prize tickets.
The coin dealers expressed many positive comments about how wonderful the coin show was and were very happy with their sales. Many dealers were already signing up for the August 16, 2026 PANS & HVNS Regional Coin Show at Madison Place.
I want to say thank you Christina Slobodnik for doing a great job with the Young Numismatist Program.
Dr. Mark Benvenuto did a fabulous job with his XRF machine in detecting the metallic content of different coins and medals.
We received many good comments from all the dealers about the PANS “2016 – 2026 Memorial for Coin Dealers” who had participated in the PANS, HVNS and WCC Coin Club Coin Shows over the years and who have passed away.
Thank you Steve Bieda for making the display board showcasing these dealers.
We also commemorated one of our seven PANS founding members and dealer, Michael Mync who passed away in 2024. The PANS Society had a moment of silence for all.
Thank you to the PANS Volunteers who stayed after the coin show to break down the tables, electrical wires, cases, table cloth covers and clean out the hall.
Also, a very big thank you to the PANS volunteers who came on Monday morning to the APCC to load up their vans and make several trips to the storage unit with all the coin show cases, electrical wires, table covers and all the coin show equipment.
It takes a very dedicated volunteer group to accomplish a successful coin show.
We will discuss more about the coin show at our PANS Society Meeting on Saturday, March 07, 2026 at 12:00pm at the APCC in Troy, MI.
And Thanks again to All the Collectors and Guests who attended and contributed to the success of the PANS and WCC February 2026 Coin Show.
Numismatically,
Lester J. Rosik
PANS Society President
