Newman Numismatic Portal Announces NNP Symposium, April 24-26, 2025

The Newman Numismatic Portal today announces the next NNP Symposium, which will take place April 24-26, in conjunction with the Central States Numismatic Society convention in Schaumburg, IL. Sessions will be available to in-person show attendees and will be livestreamed for those wishing to view remotely.

The NNP Symposium is a free event that brings together a variety of numismatic speakers and covers a wide array of numismatic subjects. Featuring approximately twenty presentations, attendees will easily find topics of interest. This is the ninth such event, which was launched by the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society in fall 2020 in response to the pandemic.

In conjunction with the Central States Numismatic Society Nebraska State Showcase, the Symposium will feature several speakers with Nebraska connections, including Mark Engler, past Superintendent of Homestead National Historic Park, who will speak on the evolution of the Nebraska state quarter. For collectors of paper money, Matthew Hansen will present on the Gerome Walton Collection of Nebraska National Bank Notes, while Derek Higgins will cover notes issued by Omaha banks. Nebraska is well-known numismatically for the Byron Reed coins at the Durham Museum in Omaha, and Kristen Rowley, Durham Museum Collection Manager, will speak on this important collection.

Zoom links for individual sessions will be publicly posted shortly before the event. Online registration is not required to attend the Symposium.
