CBN Number 1 was a homely, colorless and unillustrated publication that couldn't quite fill a single page! It has since grown to several pages featuring full color photos of coin boards and associated ephemera. Many tales have been told, and many new board varieties have been chronicled within its pages. In celebration of this milestone the current issue is expanded yet again and includes a feature article about Koinpanels, wooden coin boards produced from the 1950s into the early 1980s. Several examples are illustrated, courtesy of E & T Kointainer Company President, Bernard A. Nagengast.

I closed the first issue of Coin Board News with the simple statement, "That's what's new in the world of coin board collecting," and that mission of sharing the hobby continues today.
