continued support.

Donations: Jocelyn donated a coin clock that she had recently won at a local coin

show. Our club really appreciates this donation and the continuing donations from

many club members.

Meeting Program: David Schwager presented a very interesting and informative talk

on “Four Key Dates in Coin Collecting “ David did a nice job describing the early

beginnings of coin collecting in the eighteen fifties and the founding of the American

Numismatic Society in 1858. The talk brought us up to modern times with the coin

shortage in 1964 and the all time high price of silver. Another key date was 1999 with

the beginning of the state quarters program. Their are approximately 147 million

collectors today. This talk was a good example of our continuing commitment to

educating our membership.

Prizes: Jim M. won the dos pesos gold coin.
