July 15, 2026
Activity is ramping up at the 2026 Royal Canadian Numismatic Association (RCNA) Convention as volunteers and attendees prepare for the event’s official public opening on Thursday.
Wednesday’s program began with veteran numismatist Robert Forbes leading a sold-out Coin Grading Workshop, where participants spent the morning sharpening their grading skills by examining and discussing a wide range of Canadian coins. The annual workshop is one of the convention’s most popular educational offerings, attracting collectors eager to improve their knowledge of authentication, grading standards and the subtle differences that can significantly affect a coin’s value.
