Presentations
It is a tradition at WPNS for members to prepare written copies of their presentations before the Society. Over the years a number of interesting and informative presentations on numismatic topics have been preserved in our archives. Some of these are reprinted here. While the numismatic content may be outdated in some, any or all of the presentations may prove of interest to today's collectors and scholars.
