Since 1912, the Rochester Numismatic Association has served the needs of coin collectors and dealers in Rochester and western New York. With over 110 members, the RNA meets twice monthly from September until June, in addition to sponsoring an annual Coin Show, banquet, and picnic. Meetings are now held the first and third Thursday of the month, starting at 8pm. Members typically show up around 7:30pm to socialize. The RNA is ANA Branch #2, and ANA Life Club #8. We are members of the American Numismatic Society, Canadian Numismatic Association, Empire State Numismatic Association, Token and Medal Society (TAMS), and the Rochester Museum and Science Center (RMSC).
The RNA is the longest continuously running coin club in the country. It has sported many great members including the legendary John J. Pittman. I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Pittman shortly before he died. I have been a member of this prestigious club since the mid 1990's and plan on remaining a member for life. I have belonged to other clubs and have to say that none have come close to the quality of this club. The club still maintains many knowledgeable members who conduct educational lectures. read more
