What happened I recently bought a book by Whitman which said that it was a good club. It was published a few years ago. What happened.

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12256 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 3:04 pm Unfortunately, the Society for US Commemorative Coins (SUSCC) disbanded a few years ago due to a significant drop in membership and the increasing difficulty of getting fresh material for the group's quarterly journal. The group formed in 1983 and was active for about 30 years. Many of the field's most advanced collectors, researchers and dealers were part of the organization over the years. I was sad to see it go. Just FYI: I wrote the text for the page that appears in the Whitman book to which you refer. I originally wrote it for the Society's web page - it was first used by Whitman for its annual " Red Book" and then used again when it published the " Red Book" specifically on commemoratives. I wrote it at a time when the organization was trying to better publicize itself and attract new members. I've occasionally thought about trying to re-establish the club - I've just never been able to convince myself that there are enough active collectors of the series today who are willing to pay annual membership dues to keep the organization going and/or contribute articles for its publication. Maybe some day. I'm not sure what board/chat room you are referring, so I can't make any comments about it. Hope you enjoy your time here on CCF. There's lots of great commemorative content here. I hope you take the time to explore! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 5:51 pm Sounds like a chat room that was abandoned and later hijacked by another group. Best you forget that place and hang out here instead. If you look through some of the old posts you will find a lot. I would start with these... http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...20collection Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15394 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 6:24 pm Thanks jbuck - a handy link to all of 'commems collection' posts. Fully concur that lovecoins would be better served learning from and participating in the commemorative discussion with us at the CCF. @ commems - alas for the demise of the society that you tried to promote ... I'm certain that your efforts and contributions to them over the years were of outstanding quality. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
