So I attended my first coin club meeting with one of my kids last week. It was AWESOME! He scored a bag full of random foreign coins, some French stamps (covers or something, I don't really know stamps), and some food!

Best of all is, I won this in a drawing! Beginner's luck, I guess! For some reason, I thought of JBuck when I received this.

"Brick and Mortar" coin clubs are a dying breed.
You and your kid are lucky to have one.
Congratulations!

I've got four kiddos, so I imagine their collections will grow substantially from becoming involved with this club. They appear like a wonderful group of folks.

In case any of you are in the Willamette Valley in Oregon:

I always think of JBuck now when I see any Ikes. :) Nice to have a coin club! I could imagine there being some here in middle Illinois, just wouldn't have the time for one at the moment.

More than 50 years had elapsed before I joined the ANS. (Australian Numismatic Society), the near equivalent of the ANA.

As a kid, I never had much to spend on coins.
As a teenager, I bought my first gold coin, but girls were more important.
As a family man, the family always came first.
As a widower, I now have the time, so I joined the ANS.

Coin clubs are a great way to make new friends with whom you share a common interest. Some of my best friends are those that I met at a coin club.

They're also a great place for me to learn about areas of the hobby that I don't actively collect. How? Through the educational programs presented, through show-and-tell among the members and just listening to other collectors casually talk about what interests them.

I'm currently a member of four different clubs and always enjoy my time at the meetings.

They certainly benefit from your attendance, as we have with your posting.

For the record, CCF is my coin club. Meetings all day every day.

However, I do enjoy meeting people at the coins shows.
