RCNA Annual Convention
The Canadian highlight of the numismatic year is the RCNA Annual Convention, which has been held annually in various cities across Canada since 1954.
The Convention is Canada's oldest continuing numismatic event where people with a common interest come together. Dealers from across Canada and the United States take bourse space at the Convention to offer a great variety of material for sale.
An auction helps collectors build their collections and provide a basis for determining values when buying or selling all kinds of numismatic material.
Other specialty numismatic organizations hold their annual meetings or conduct educational programs in conjunction with the annual convention.
Members of the RCNA exhibit items from their collections, as do Canadian institutions such as the Royal Canadian Mint and the Bank of Canada.
The Convention is also the setting for educational forums, annual general membership meeting, club delegate meeting, banquet, awards presentations, tours, receptions, a hospitality suite and more.
Registration Kits contain souvenir convention medals struck at the Royal Canadian Mint.
Once you attend a RCNA Convention and join in the activities you will come back again and again.
Collection Insurance
The RCNA has negotiated a special discounted rate for members to insure their collections. Hugh Wood Canada Ltd., an international insurance broker based in Toronto, Ontario has been able to obtain excellent rates and a commitment from their underwriters at Lloyds to provide full coverage to all members of the R.C.N.A.
