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.
