<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 354364, member: 9474&quot;]There are 3 coin clubs here in Charleston, WV - why 3 you ask? Well, they are located in different parts of the city Many members attend all three, but I only attend 2. It costs $8 a year to join each coin club. We begin our meetings at 7pm - for the first half hour we usually just mingle around talking about coin stuff. Some people bring in coins to sell or trade. Also, we hold an auction at each meeting, so when you are not talking to the fellow members you are looking at the items in the auction deciding which items to bid on. I just went to one last night. I enjoy them because I can share my experiences with other people who share the same interests as I do. Lastly, at the end of the evening we give away door prizes. If you were one of the lucky first names drawn you would have won either a Peace or Morgan dollar or even a 1964 proof set. Sometimes the value of the prizes alone can cover the $8 yearly fee. I have not been lucky since joining both clubs - last night I walked away with a 1999D quarter. That found its way into my change cup in the car. Also, I found a 1834 large cent that was in the auction that had Liberty doubled. No one else noticed it - not even the two large cent collectors in the room - probably because the cent was in AG/G condition and was overlooked by them. I pointed it out to a high school kid and he ended up winning it in the auction. He was so excited. These are the things that make going to these clubs so fun.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>P.S. - the fees raised from the dues are used to purchase the door prizes and items used in the auctions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
