Keokuk Coin Club
The 736th meeting of the Keokuk Coin Club will be held on the evening of Thursday, July 9th, starting at 6:00 p.m., in the Lost Canvas Studio, 711 Main Street, in Keokuk. Nearby parking on Main Street should be pretty easy to find by the time of our evening meeting. All club members are urged to attend the meeting; visitors and guests are always welcome!
We are meeting on the 9th, rather than the 16th, because Tom (our secretary & treasurer) has a conflict with the 16th date (a family reunion), and everyone thought it would be easier to move the meeting to the 9th instead of having others take over his duties for the evening. On the evening of the 9th, we will be following the usual order of business: for the first twenty minutes or so we will be informally socializing, with our more experienced members available to identify and estimate the value of coins, paper money, tokens, etc. This is also an interval of time for members to buy, sell or trade with other members, and it will be followed by a business meeting and this evening's short program. (More about it later.) By the time our business meeting begins, by about 6:30 or just a bit later, we should have pizza available to go with the usual assortment of soft drinks. The business meeting won't take long. It never does.
The program for the evening will be an old favorite: Second Hobby Night! Members and guests are encouraged to bring in, display and discuss another hobby they have, other than collecting coins etc. Of course, our monthly show-and-tell program is always an opportunity to display or pass around pretty nearly anything you find numismatically interesting or meaningful or mysterious-and to share with us why you think so.
Right after our brief show-and-tell program-and our business meeting-we'll get started with the evening's auction. This month's auction should have something for everyone! If you are upgrading your collection, or have some unwanted duplicates, or have changed the focus of your collecting interests, keep our monthly auctions in mind as a convenient, low commission venue for disposing of numismatic material. We really do need some additional consignments!
