Donations:

David Schwager recently received a donation of a variety of coin club

items formerly belonging to Eileen and Charles Boothe. They were members and

officers of area clubs, especially Garden Grove, and the items are from the 1950s

through the 1970s. They include membership cards, meeting announcements, awards

and plaques, pins, and more. These will be available for viewing at future meetings,

and we welcome suggestions on what to do with this donation.

Meeting Program:

Les Watson presented an extremely interesting and informative talk

on “Tyme for Quarters”. It provided an interesting history of US quarter varities of the

last two centuries.

Prizes:

Bliss won the Dos Pesos gold and Jocelyn won the 1/10th oz. gold coin.

Amazing what can happen when you buy our raffle tickets.
