ESNA Conventions

The Empire State Numismatic Association has a long history of hosting conventions throughout New York state. Official conventions were held twice a year. These are numbered ("First", "Second", ...) and a badge was produced to commemorate the event. Other conventions held and are sometimes refered to as "mini conventions".

Photos of many of these badges are available at Numismatic Cabinet - Tim Corio's ESNA BAdges.

This listing is a project of Tim Corio with much of the reasearch being done by John Cali. There are gaps in the project's knowlege. If you have information about these conventions please send an email to Tim Corio at tcorio@rochester.rr.com .
