Notes:

  • The Grand Award was renamed the Byron F. Johnson Jr. Memorial Award after Byron’s death.
    See Byron F. Johnson's numismatic biography.
  • The C.E. “Hep” Heppner Award is given for the best exhibit of tokens, medals and decorations.
  • Beginning in 2019, the spring convention "People's Choice" exhibit award has been added to this list of winners, and is named the "Del Cushing Memorial Award."
  • Awards for 2022 were decided at the fall coin show due to cancellation of exhibits at the spring convention.
  • Awards for 2023 may also be decided at the fall coin show due to having noncompetitive exhibits only at the spring convention.
