[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 3626177, member: 59677"]Yes to all of that - depends on the club Often a dealer or two will bring a briefcase of stuff or a box to offer. If you ask them to bring specific items, they'll do so if they can. There is usually a brief business meeting, followed by a presentation - visiting dignitary down to any random club member who wants to show something off (I've done a couple). Then most clubs have an auction - club members selling off spares and items they're no longer interested in to other club members. Usually inexpensive items - rarely does somebody show up with $500 to buy a nice bustie. Meetings are TYPICALLY monthly at some local venue or restaurant. The Olympia club met at the senior center the next town over. The Fort Worth Coin Club meets at the Botanic Garden (maybe moving because they are starting to charge admission). The Northeast Tarrant Coin Club meets at a local church's kids club. (Hey, it's Texas) The Dallas Coin Club and the Collin County clubs meet in local restaurants' private room (I'm not a member of either of those)[/QUOTE]
