C. Nm A . iinnounces New E,xhibi t IIandbook
The Canadian Numismatic Association is pleased to
announce the completion of a handbook titled "Exhibits
and Judging in Numismaticstf.
This 54 page booklet provides a comprehensive
study on the design and set-up of numismatic displays,
exhibit research, originality, photography and judging
organization. Special chapters are also featured on
the duties of an Exhibit Chairman, responsibilities of
the Head Judge and the rationale of the current C.N.A.
Judging system.
In short, this booklet is t h e only available source
at present which summririzes basically everything one needs
to know in planning a numismatic display.
Four pages are
devoted to actual display case layouts.
Paul Johnson, CeNmA. Ontario Director and member of
the Education Committ.ee,and Ted Banning, Coin Columnist
of the Toronto Globe and Mail newspaper, edited %he material
while Johnson served as Co-ordinator of the project. Fifteen
top experts in the field of exhibiting and judging contributed in-depth papers towards the success of this booklet.
Other contributing writers besides Banning and Johnson
include the following individuals: David Block, Gainesville,
Florida; Bruce H. Brace, Ancaster, Ontario; James Brandt,
Pearl River, New York; Stan.8~~
Clute, High River, Alberta;
John Greenslet, Heisterstown, Maryland; ltay Gregory, Cookstbwn,
Ontario ; Mark ?logen, Calgary, Alberta; Robert Porter, Hexdale,
Ontario; Ed!+in Quagliana, Malvern, Pennsylvania; John ltegitko,
Torcnto, Ontario; and Stephen 11. Taylor, Dover, Delaware.
This project is in keeping with C.N.A. emphasis and
desire toward numismatic education. Exhibits are often, and
usually should be the highlight of any numismatic convent-ion.
The prime reasons for ellhibiting are ; to show your numismatic
material; to develop research skills; to expand your
creative i~naginationand to learn more about your own
collecting interests.
Exhibiting can be viewed similarly
to writing; that of communicating your research to other
interested individuals.
Furtherniore, this gives the
collector an outlet for taking pride in his numismatic
collection by showing it in a n organized manner to
fellow hobbyists.
The quality and quantity of exhibits have steadily
decreased at many coin club shows dur.ing the past few
years.
It is hoped that more collectors will take the
initiative and meet the challenge by displaying parts of
their collection at future nurriis~natic gatherings.
The booklet will be a valuable aid to numismatists
planning a display and is now available for $2.00 postpaid.
Copies may be purchased from: The Canadian

~f bourse tables. Characte.rized by enormously enlarged v e s t
pockets. A predatory b i r d i t s usual prey is t h e Bright-eyed
Table-hopper which it uses t o f e a t h e r i t s n e s t ,

Its main diet is g r o s s l y overpriced s p e c u l a t i v e c o i n s which

months.
An old-fashioned b i r d t h a t g a t h e r s o l d e r

a n t i p a t h y towards o t h e r species it is u s u a l l y found hunched i n
