November Coin Club Meeting

Next Coin Club Meeting is this coming

Monday November 19, 2012 @ 7:00 pm.

Seminar will be on coin errors.

November is election time. We will be electing a new president & vice president. Clayton Quirk is running unopposed for the office of president, and likewise Tim Seibert is running unopposed for vice president. Make sure you are there so your vote will count.

This month's seminar will be conducted by Ken Olson & Clayton Quirk, but will also rely on member participation. We're looking for members to bring examples of coin errors. January's meeting will be cover coin varieties. The main difference between errors & varieties is that errors tend to be random mint mistakes in process or materials and varieties are coins that were made through normal processes with unintentioned results. We will discuss this further at the meeting.

September Coin Club Meeting

September Coin Club Meeting 

Monday September 17, 2012 @ 7:00 pm.

Seminar will be on Mercury Dimes.  

  "The Mercury dime is a ten-cent coin struck by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1945. Designed by Adolph Weinman and sometimes referred to as the Winged Liberty dime, it gained its common name as the obverse depiction of a young Liberty, identifiable by her winged Phrygian cap, was confused with the Roman god Mercury. Weinman is believed to have used Elsie Stevens, the wife of lawyer and poet Wallace Stevens, as a model. The coin's reverse depicts a fasces, symbolizing unity and strength, and an olive branch, signifying peace."

  This information and more could be obtained from:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_dime where this quote of information was obtained fort wit. To find the more desirable coins a person would need to know the KEY DATES. Could be part of the of the discussion on Mercury Dimes.

Do your home work and bring your questions with you! See you all Monday.
