A wide range of exhibits will be on display at the American Numismatic Association’s 2007 World’s Fair of Money Aug. 8-12 in Milwaukee, Wis. “The convention’s theme is ‘Collecting Coins Captures Time  Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow,’ said Clifford Mishler, the event’s general chairman. “The planned exhibits certainly will capture that theme.” One of the Marquee exhibits is the Bebee specimen 1913 Liberty Head nickel. The display is a 40th anniversary homecoming for the coin that was sold for $46,000 in 1967 by the widow of its long-time owner, Milwaukee collector, J.V. “Mac” McDermott. Buyers at that sale, Aubrey and Adeline Bebee of Omaha, Neb., later donated the famous coin to the ANA museum in 1989.
