Coins, currency, tokens, medals, and stamps were among the collectibles on display at the coin show.

The Marion Coin Club's members and guests had a variety of items for sale, such as coins from different eras and foreign countries, Whitman coin collecting books, and mint sets.

A large selection of coins, including rare coins, were displayed in shadow boxes.

One vendor sold Civil War-era tokens used by merchants in place of currency. Another had a table full of Native American headdresses and crafts.

One vendor, Gary Kisner, has been coming to the coin show for 40 years. He said he started collecting coins when he was 8 years old.

"I've always enjoyed it," Kisner said. "It's a great hobby."

He said he enjoys meeting new people at the coin show each year.

"It's a good way to spend a Saturday," Kisner said.

The coin show is a popular annual event in Marion. It's a great opportunity to buy, sell, or trade coins and other collectibles.

The coin show is open to the public and there is no admission fee.

The Marion Coin Club meets the second Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Marion. All members of the public interested in coins, tokens, medals, or stamps are welcome to attend.
