MCA Meeting at the ANA World's Fair of Money

The MCA will hold its summer meeting at the ANA World's Fair of Money in Philadelphia. The meeting will take place on Thursday, August 16, at 1:30 P.M. - 3:00 P.M. in room 117 of the Pennsylvania Convention Center. John Sallay will present "Their Secrets Revealed! Early American College Secret Society Medals".

John notes the following about his talk at the MCA meeting:

"I've recently been researching the early membership and award medals used by secret societies at various American colleges, such as the Porcellian Club medal above. I used to see these at coin shows and they were always inexpensive because nobody (including me) knew what most of them were. But with various online tools and databases, it's now possible to decode most of them and understand their historical and social significance. I'll give a brief presentation on some of what I've found at the MCA meeting on Thursday, August 16 at the ANA convention, in Their Secrets Revealed! Early American College Secret Society Medals."
