Next Meeting: Tuesday, June 12, 2001

The Montgomery County Coin Club will meet at 7pm on the second Tuesday of the month, 12 June 2001, at the Silver Spring Senior Citizens Center (1000 Forest Glen Road, Silver Spring, Maryland, USA). The featured event was not yet scheduled as of press time for this edition of the Bulletin.

May Meeting Report

The May 2001 MCCC meeting had no guest speaker; the key attraction was Numismatic Bingo.

MCCC President Jack Schadegg called the Club to order at 7:24pm on the evening of 8 May 2001. About 31 MCCC members were present, including two Young Numismatists (YNs). One first-time visitor was welcomed: Arlene Marks. Good to see you! (Next month, please invite friends and family, especially YNs, to join you at the MCCC meeting.)

As always, 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.

Drawings & Prizes

Willy Massey announced the free door prizes, including three silver coins: The Gold Raffle Prize was a Chinese 1/20th oz. "Unicorn" --- a lovely proof coin dated 1998 and denominated 5 Yuan. Ken Huff won the Gold Raffle. For the Door Prizes, fortune favored William M. Massey (who gave his winning ticket to YN Nicky Luck!), Bert Marks, Ken Huff, and Sherry Hilderbrand. The Bison Chip winner's name was not available as of the publication deadline for this edition of the Bulletin.

Display Case Studies

Two MCCC members made presentations in May: Thanks to all exhibitors! Next month, everyone, please bring something topical from your collection and share it with your fellow MCCC members.

Feature: Numismatic Bingo

The three games of Numismatic Bingo played at the May MCCC meeting were fun, enjoyed by all present. Simcha Kuritzky took the first (regular) and third (reverse) games. Norman Brand triumphed in the second game. Bingo prizes were circulated Morgan dollars. Congratulations to the lucky winners, and condolences to those who came close.

Auction & Aftermath

The MCCC Live Auction was an active one, with 45 lots for sale including some classic US and UK copper, attractive silver, assorted international coins, and large medals. Don McKee and Ken Swab were the auctioneers. The meeting adjourned shortly after 9pm.
