I would like to express a person view on Coin Clubs. Too often many collectors will pass up the opportunity to join a local or regional coin club. Our ability to access information via the internet, has given us different aspects on our hobby, but that cannot nor should not be a substitute for a club. These groups are made up of people who enjoy coins, and love the time spent together. Many groups are general interest, but a few have very specialized areas. The ANA lists clubs by state and region. National clubs like the ANA also provide a wealth of information.
Most clubs meet once or twice a month for an hour meeting. This time is spent talking coins, trading, buying and selling. Some offer newsletters, and others magazines. The cost is very reasonable. The friendships made are priceless.
For information on clubs in your state, please go to the following link.
