MCCC: A Collector's Club for the New Millennium

Next Meeting: Tuesday, 8 May 2001

The Montgomery County Coin Club will meet at 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month, 8 May 2001, at the Silver Spring Senior Citizens Center (1000 Forest Glen Road, Silver Spring, Maryland, USA). The featured event was not yet determined as of press time for this Bulletin.

April Meeting Report

The April 2001 MCCC meeting had no guest speaker; the key attraction was a rich array of Display Case items placed there by MCCC members. In this online Bulletin, therefore, the Featured Article is a Numismatic Showcase that describes the material on exhibit.

MCCC President Jack Schadegg called the Club to order at 7:21pm on the warm, humid spring evening of 10 April 2001, during a time of high solar activity, sunspots, and flares. About 38 MCCC members were present, including three Young Numismatists (YNs). Two first-time visitors were welcomed with a round of applause: John Erzen and his son Matt Erzen. (Next month, please invite your friends and relatives, especially YNs, to come with you to the MCCC meeting.)

News & Announcements

MCCC members are encouraged to submit brief announcements for inclusion in the Bulletin --- for-sale notices, numismatic wish-lists, summaries of recent coin events, or anything else appropriate to this publication. Please pass your submissions to a Club Officer or send them directly to C(l)ub Reporter Mark Zimmermann via z (at) his.com. Note that you must be a member in good standing to take advantage of this free service --- so pay your dues!

Drawings & Prizes

Willy Massey announced the free door prizes, all silver coins this month: There were also free MSNA elongated cents for all who wanted them.

April door prize winners were Rob Hickox, Wayne Mitchell, and Don McKee. The Gold Raffle Prize was a Canadian 0.1 oz Maple Leaf. It was captured by Ed Russell. The Bison Chip drawing named A. C. Hansman --- his first "leg" of three needed to take that prize, a nice 1 ounce silver round. Remember, you must be a member, and you must be present when your name is called, in order to win a leg toward the Bison Chip.

Congratulations to all the prize winners!


Featured Attraction: Numismatic Showcase

This month the MCCC display case held a wide variety of items, each with a fascinating context as told by its exhibitor: Bravo to all exhibitors!

Activities, Auction & Aftermath

Refreshments during March included a special kosher for Passover table. The MCCC Auction was a big one, with 57 lots for sale and spirited bidding on most of them. Don McKee and Ken Swab were the affable auctioneers. The meeting adjourned at 9:11pm.
