The Barber Coin Collectors' Society is undergoing a changing of the guard.
We have a new President, John Frost.
And we are in transition to a new editor and secretary/treasurer.
I'd like to solicit your help and advice.
Our most critical need is articles for our quarterly journal. I wrote to our current editor,
Eileen Ribar, asking for clarification on this point:
"... would opening the Journal to 'guest' articles be allowed?"
Her reply was in the affirmative:
"To answer your question can a non-member submit articles to the Journal, YES,
anyone can submit a Barber related article, opinion, photo, etc. Length is not important;
subject matter is. So, feel free to solicit material from anyone, anywhere."
So, I am soliciting!
Now I need to know the best way to proceed. I have mentioned the CCF as often as I dare
in the articles that I have written. The 1901-S 'dug' quarter article (DrTones) is due
to appear soon. But there are CCF members who are Barber Collectors who possess knowledge
and talent that would be welcome.
https://goccf.com/t/192880Writing talent is not a prerequisite as I could proof read and offer suggestions and corrections.
There exists among our members an enthusiasm that would be especially welcome.
Such a collaboration between the best Internet coin site and
an established traditional print-based coin group would benefit both.
MeadowviewCollector's story, Glimpse Inside the Mint, has already been sent to Eileen:
