MC3 = Numismatics!

Next Meeting: Tuesday, November 12, 2002

The Montgomery County Coin Club will meet on the second Tuesday of the month, 12 November 2002, at the Silver Spring Senior Citizens Center (1000 Forest Glen Road, Silver Spring, Maryland, USA). Doors open at 7:00pm, and the meeting begins with the Pledge of Allegiance at approximately 7:20pm. The featured speaker this month will be Henry Adler.

October Meeting Report

On 8 October 2002 the MCCC was called to order at 7:21pm. This month approximately 40 people were present, including at least 3 YNs (Young Numismatists). Three new visitors to the MCCC announced themselves: Welcome!

Announcements

Ken Swab told of the passage of H.R. 4005 by the US House of Representatives on Monday 7 October. This bill would extend the popular commemorative quarter program and would authorize the issuance in 2009 of coins honoring the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The US Senate has yet to take action on the bill, and so its fate remains uncertain. "Stay tuned!" was Ken's advice.

Librarian Wayne Mitchell reminded MCCC members to contact him if they wish to check out books from the Club collection. He also mentioned the Bowie Coin Club's special 10 October meeting featuring guest speaker Clifford Mishler. (His colleague Chester Krause has reportedly been ill and may not be able to attend.)

Vice President Ed Russell still has a few copies of the 2002 Red Book on sale for $7 (pb) and $8.50 (hb). A portion of the proceeds flows into the MCCC treasury.

Treasurer Simcha Kuritzky reviewed the Club's financial status. Simcha then reminded members of the Baltimore coin show to be held on 8-10 November, and the ANA Convention which will be in Baltimore in 2003. Simcha also awarded a 2002 US silver eagle to Bert Marks for his volunteer work at the MSNA (Maryland State Numismatic Association) convention a few months ago.

Exhibits

The September MCCC display case was rich in specimens. Among the MCCC members who made presentations:
