[QUOTE="900fine, post: 786346, member: 6036"]Yes, I belong and yes it's very, very important. I'm a member of the ANA, Early American Coppers Society, and the John Reich Collectors Society (early Federal silver, basically anything before the Seated Liberty design). I'm also active in my local club. I will soon join the Colonial Coin Collector's Club. Numismatics is not just about the coins - it's about [I][B]relationships[/B][/I]. One great place to build relationships is through these clubs. It's also about [I][B]knowledge[/B][/I]. This website is all about knowledge, and so are the clubs. Both EAC and JRCS publish journals with all sorts of vital specialist knowledge unavialable anywhere else - even in books. They publish recent findings from real numismatists - cutting edge stuff. Stuff that ain't in the books. Yet. If you are spending any real money, you truly need to be "in the know". If you find yourself gravitating towards a specialty area of interest, find the club for that area and JOIN UP. Fees are VERY small compared to the value. I'm also a member of NGC and PCGS, but that's different.[/QUOTE]
