The 33rd Annual Professional Currency Dealers Association National Currency and Coin Convention will be held at the Hilton Chicago O’Hare, 5550 N. River Road, Rosemont, Illinois, from March 1 to 3. 

What coin struck in the second half of the 20th century has a doubled die obverse, dates of two sizes and an RPM? John Wexler explains. Also inside this issue, Joel Orosz checks out what was in the first “superstar” collection’s auction catalog.

Regular public bourse hours will be 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. for both Thursday, March 1, and Friday, March 2, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 3. 

A $5 registration fee provides admission for all three days of the event. For those eager to get first crack at fresh material, there is Early Bird access on March 1 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., where collectors and dealers without booths are afforded early entrance to the bourse area for a $50 registration fee.
