2011 Convention Exhibit Report

See above for the results of this year’s competitive displays. There were also three non-competitive exhibits displayed, by James Reinders, judge Tom Sheehan, and chief judge J. Eric Holcomb.

Note: Normally the winner of Class 3 would receive the Heppner Award for tokens, medals and decorations, however in this case it was determined that the Class 3 winning exhibit consisted mostly of cut coins (but which the chief judge allowed in Class 3), so the Heppner Award was given to the Class 6 winner instead. Since Katie is James' daughter, it was hard to object to this decision!

Congratulations to all the winners. They will receive award plaques for their entries. Thank you to the judges listed above, to Eric Holcomb for serving as Chief Judge, and to Dan Vornbrock for serving as Exhibit Chairman for the first time this year. Their work was very much appreciated.
