The Elongated Collectors

TEC had a  ton of fun at the Florida United Numismatists (FUN) Show in Tampa last weekend! Be sure to head over to the gallery to see some some photos of the event and some of the great elongated displays!

On Sunday, August 6, ANA held a special 50th celebration at their headquarters in Colorado Springs.  All attendees received a goodie bag that included some wonderful elongated coins donated by John and Nancy Wilson and rolled by Ray. Captured a number of photos of Ray next to his Hall of Fame plaque.  Enjoyed the festivities including rolling coins at their penny machine, having a silly caricature made, refreshments and tours. Overall we had a great time and hope to see lots of you at the show in Philadelphia next year!

Two big presentations for TEC – TEC received it’s 50 year of ANA Membership plaque early in the program.  Then later, Ray was inducted into the ANA Hall of Fame.

Ray Dillard inducted the new Board at the annual meeting on Friday, August 4.  In addition to Ray, also pictured are Nancy Wooten, Immediate Past President; Terri Ventresca, Secretary; Cindy Calhoun, President, and Dee Drell, Governor.  Officers not able to attend:  Don Berry, Vice President; Jim Motley, Treasurer; Danielle Kittredge and Uni Marbutt, Governors.    

As usual, we had a great time in the booth this year.  Tyler Tyson brought his machine and we had lots of visitors… including a very happy dog!  

Cindy Calhoun has sent some more photos from the ANA Convention & TEC Meetings in Denver! Be sure to head over to the gallery to check them out.
