Lyn Knight has been involved in Numismatics for 56 years staring with very humble beginnings to the present day where he conducts auctions and operates the annual International Paper Money Show. Lyn grew up in Cherokee Iowa, a nice little community in northwest Iowa. He is considered one of the “Iowa Boys” when talking about Nationals.  He attended his first show when he was 13 years old & set up as a dealer of coin supplies, operating on a budget of $10.75. He was dependent upon his mother and other dealers to drive him to shows until he got his license.
