If you’re new to numismatics or the club, or just looking for more information, welcome … perhaps club members can help you learn more about what you’ve got, or help you enjoy collecting more.
New Website! This website was designed and published (in a different format than the current format) as of May 13, 2010. Please let Eric Holcomb know if you have suggestions, corrections, etc. We could use more club member content!
