Museum Showcase: Million-Dollar Icons on Display
The ANA Museum Showcase anchors the convention floor. This exhibit alone features coins insured for millions of dollars.
The 1913 Liberty Head Nickel
One of the world’s most famous coins, the McDermott/Bebee specimen 1913 Liberty Head nickel, will appear in Savannah. The coin carries a face value of five cents. However, it is insured for $3 million.
Only five examples exist. One resides in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. The coin’s mysterious origins have fueled numismatic research for more than a century.
The 1804 Silver Dollar
The exhibit also includes an 1804-dated U.S. silver dollar. The ANA’s Class III Idler/Bebee specimen carries $4 million in insurance coverage.
Collectors often refer to 1804 dollars as the “King of American Coins.”
The pieces were struck decades after the date they bear. Today, they rank among the most coveted rarities in U.S. numismatics.
Historic Money With Deep American Roots
The ANA Money Show showcase extends beyond headline rarities.
Visitors will see:
- “Pirate treasure money,” including Spanish pieces-of-eight silver coins. Historical records show these coins circulated in Savannah after the city’s founding in 1733.
- Rare gold coins struck at the Dahlonega, Georgia, and Charlotte, North Carolina branch mints during the mid-1800s.
- A 1792 George Washington Indian Peace medal. Experts believe only about 20 examples survive, and approximately seven have been recorded.
- Bank of the United States notes and historic Georgia paper money.
Together, these exhibits connect colonial commerce, early federal coinage, and Southern mint history.
The 64-Foot “Short Snorter” Display
A dramatic 64-foot-long display of “short snorter” banknotes will also appear on the bourse floor. The exhibit comes courtesy of the nonprofit Short Snorter Project.
The display includes more than 1,300 signatures. These autographs belong to World War II-era dignitaries, including generals, admirals, presidents, prime ministers, and ambassadors. One section bears the signature of General Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Visitors can find the exhibit at booth 646, next to the Collector Exhibits area.
U.S. Mint to Release 2026 American Eagle Silver Proof
The United States Mint will attend the ANA Money Show.
On February 26 at noon EST, the Mint plans to release the American Eagle 2026 one-ounce silver proof coin featuring a 250 privy mark. The Mint will also offer the Congratulations Set 2026 and additional inventory for sale.
Newly appointed U.S. Mint Director Paul Hollis will attend the event. He will participate in the ANA ribbon-cutting ceremony that officially opens the show.
Attendees can visit the U.S. Mint at booth 547, next to the ANA Money Museum Showcase.
Family Programs and Young Collectors Corner
The National ANA Money Show emphasizes education at every level.
