Northwest Detroit Coin Club Member Survey Results:

At the November 28 meeting, all members were offered a survey as they signed in; 41 members completed and turned in the survey, with results as shown below. Members were asked to rank four different meeting sections in order of preference, using “1, 2, 3, 4.” All numbers accorded a given section were added up and then divided by 41, resulting in the number shown below: the lower the number, the higher the order of preference.

Business portion (news, discussion, announcements) 2.049

Program/speaker on numismatic topic 2.439

“speakers talk too long”

Auction 3.146

Drawings (sign-in, silver) 2.366

In order of preference, then, the order is: 1. Business portion

2. Drawings

3. Program/speaker

4. Auction

(This was emphasized at the November 28 meeting when about 90% of the members left before the auction.)

The thought occurs that when we have a scheduled speaker, we would not have an auction that night, and vice versa, so as to finish by 9:00 or so, which seems to be the end-time preferred by most members (as observed at many meetings). Also, with an auction only once a month or so, it might be viewed as more significant.

For the prize question, results were fairly one-sided:

Many prizes/lower value ($1-$4 each) 15 = 37%

Fewer prizes/higher value ($5-$10 each) 26 = 63%

“this honors our members’ time and makes enough time for a speaker”

I will have the surveys at the Christmas Party if you want to review them.

Old Business: This spring we won a 1/10 oz. gold eagle by participating in the ANA’s National Coin Week. The question is, how best to utilize it: either auction it off, for melt value of about $130.00+; or sell draw tickets for, say, $5 each, so that one lucky member can win it for only $5. (Either way, our Treasurer says we don’t really need the money – last report was $12,189 on hand.)

As noted below, we return to our usual format (and room) for this meeting, but we must also address our

JUNQUE AUCTION

which will be held Tuesday, June 13. This half-century tradition for our Club benefits not only the Senior Center where we meet but also your Club treasury. It began as a means to raise money to send neighborhood kids to the Brightmoor Community Center Day Camp ($25 per) and so has always been held at our last meeting before summer break. You are urged to bring not only Numismatic Junque (coins, supplies) but also useful appliances, baked goods, household devices, etc – no garage-sale leftovers! Then bid enthusiastically!

As always, at this meeting we’ll have our usual Door and Silver Prizes, tasty baked goods and congenial beverages – we hope to have you with us!

Ron – stood up and told the group, that 1984 some of the copper pennies may have a Lincoln double ear. He also suggested that if people wanted to get together to exchange coins or look at coins, we should have a vote to make it either before or after the meeting maybe once a month.

Meetings will be held on:

March 10^{th and March 24th 2015}

The March 10th meeting will be starting at 7:30pm. Not at 7:45 like the last meeting

There will be no auction on the March 10th meeting. Instead we will be having a BOURSE SALE.

BYE, SALE , TRADE SALE. This will not start until the end of the meeting. Anyone, that is setting a table for this sale will be responsible for cleaning their area up and putting the table and chairs away where they belong.

This March 10th meeting will be mainly about putting the March 29th coin show together. Getting, volunteers to help with setting up tables for the sale the night before the Coin Sale. Then getting more people to tear down and put the tables away after the sale. We will also need people to help with the food, delivering it to the table renters and to people that come to the sale. You can sign up at the front table where Gary Kelly is located. There will be sign up sheet for you to put what you are willing to do to help with the sale. I think there are still tables to rent. If anyone wants to still rent a table, see Gary Kelly at the end of or before the meeting starts tonight.

At the March 24th meeting, we will be making sure that we have enough volunteers for the March 29th Coin Show Event. We need more members to help with the show. We want this to be a great show, so our future shows will be the same.

Thank you,

Patricia / reporter

On the February 24th meeting date, if the Livonia Public Schools are closed there will be no coin meeting.

They will close the center that day as well.

Tom Klunzinger will be the speaker at the meeting if one is held.

Livonia Senior Center

As previously noted, this will be our only meeting in November since the Senior Center was closed on Veterans’ Day. As well, this will be your last opportunity to sign up for our gala Christmas Party to be held on December 9, same place and time as last year!

At this meeting, our own Jerry Bagazinski will share with us his particular passion for the wide variety of Whitman Bookshelf Albums for coins – feel free to bring your own to share, especially any of the first-edition/older styles.

And of course, don’t forget to attend the upcoming MSNS Fall Convention at Macomb Community College in Warren which features the 1804 dollar and 1913 Liberty Head nickel – we must start getting oriented for our co-host duties next fall!

Yes, that’s right – we will have NO meeting on November 11 since that is Veteran’s Day and the Senior Center is closed.

At our next meeting, we’ll hear of the success of our Fall Coin Show on November 2;

that will also be your opportunity to pay your 2015 Dues

as well as to sign up for our gala Christmas Party on December 9.

Remember, the big MSNS Fall Convention will be held Thanksgiving Weekend at Macomb Community College in Warren,

featuring the 1804 Dollar and 1913 Liberty Head Nickel! Since we’re a co-host Club for the 2015 Convention,

we should all make the effort to attend and become acquainted with the layout and the various volunteer duties. See you at the Convention!

At this meeting we'll be honored to have Julianna Wostyn, MSNS President, as our Guest Speaker, to update us on all the exciting things that are/will be happening within MSNS. Just now the focus is on next month's MSNS Fall Convention to be held at Macomb Community College over Thanksgiving Weekend, where we'll get to see one of the five 1913 Liberty Head nickels and one of the legendary 1804 Bust Dollars!

After that, we'll have our usual pick-and-choose auction, lots of Door Prizes and Silver Draw Prizes to hand out, as well as tasty baked goods, congenial beverages and oodles of numismatic fellowship - we hope to have you with us!

Livonia Senior Center, 15218 Farmington Rd. – 7:00 pm

Reminder: If you have not yet made a reservation for our Club picnic on Tuesday, July 8 at Canton Heritage Park, please call Gary at (734) 397-0258 not later than Tuesday, July 1.

which provides the funding for our annual tithe to the Senior Center. Bring in your would-be cast-off numismatic treasures

and other collectibles to be auctioned off for that purpose. At the same time, come prepared to bid and buy in support of this goal - this event can’t be a success without your participation! (We’ll have our drawings

and raffle as usual.) Last year our total raised, including donations after the fact, was $557 – can we top that?

NOTE: Because there’s much to arrange and auction, this meeting will start earlier – bring your items at 6:30 or earlier; PIZZA arrives at 6:30 as well!

NORTHWEST DETROIT COIN CLUB

Next Meeting(s) - Tuesday, March 13/27 - 7:30 pm

Livonia Senior Center

As we begin our 51st year as a Club, your Club Board has developed the following procedural guidelines to which your officers will make every effort to adhere:

1. From 7:00 to 7:25 pm, you should:

     a. Sign in; b. Put on your name tag; c. Buy 50/50 tickets (optional);  d. Buy silver raffle tickets (optional); e. Pay dues, turn in ticket money, etc.; f. Take your seat.

2. At 7:30, all above activities will stop and the Meeting will begin. After this point, if you're arriving late, you should simply take a seat as late sign-ins/name tags etc. will not be allowed.

3. If there is a speaker, that presentation will be during this part of the evening.

4. Drawings will take place after the general meeting; but again, there will be no late sign-ins or ticket sales.

5. After the drawings, we will take a Break for refreshments and review the auction lots, if any. At this point, late-arriving members may sign in so your attendance will count toward the six meetings required for the Holiday Dinner in December.

Mission Statement: The purpose of this organization is to encourage and promote interest in numismatics and to cultivate friendly relations among collectors, students and dealers. In addition, this Club will encourage and assist novice collectors; the Club will also provide a time and place to buy, sell or trade coins.

At our 50th Anniversary Dinner Meeting at Fortune Buffet, 37 people enjoyed the bounties of the evening, which included the scrumptious buffet, fortune cookies, a special Commemorative Souvenir with 1962 coins, and the very educational Post-Presidents' Day Quiz which, sadly, found our knowledge of US Presidents on US coins to be somewhat lacking. As well, for the first time we approved a budget, which now gives a framework to guide our finances for the year.

At this meeting, Vice President Joe Goode will give a presentation on Obsolete Currency (Broken Bank Notes), much of which was issued in the mid-19th Century in Michigan. Also our Bourse Chair Don Priebe will reviews plans and needs for our upcoming Spring Coin Show on April 1. In addition to the pick-and-choose auction as listed below, we'll have tasty baked goods, congenial beverages and good fellowship - we hope to have you with us!

NORTHWEST DETROIT COIN CLUB

50th Anniversary Dinner Meeting - February 28, 2012

Yes indeed - this date marks the exact 50th Anniversary of our founding, so we're celebrating with a Dinner Meeting at Fortune Buffet, 29583 Five Mile @ Middlebelt at 6:00 pm. There are ample Chinese selections but also many good American-style choices. We will all receive separate checks for the estimated basic total cost (you can order extras/cash bar) of $15.00; Deputy Treasurer Don Priebe will have $10 cash for all members who are paid-up for 2012.

A good time was had by all at our Mini-Bourse at the first meeting in January; at this meeting we may have word of speakers/programs for our upcoming meetings this spring.

No doubt we'll have refreshments which are appropriate to Valentine's Day, with congenial beverages, many good door & silver prizes, our pick-and-choose Auction and lots of fellowship - we hope to have you with us!

Happy New Year!

Tonight we'll vary our routine somewhat as we

SEE/SWAP/SELL

with our fellow members - you can bring a selection of numismatic items to offer or trade. (Please, no multiple showcases!) Accordingly, there will be no auction at this meeting.

Our travelling members will offer brief reports on the just-concluded FUN convention in Florida and NYINC in New York, while those spending the holidays closer to home may offer a recap of our gala Christmas Party of a month ago.

Next Meeting - Tuesday, May 24, 2011

Livonia Senior Center - 7:30 pm

No Auction at this meeting since our MEDALS are in and we'll be handing them out, alphabetically and one-by-one, so it will take a little while to do this properly. All members get a Merlingold medal! (If you can't make this meeting, we'll also have them at the Junk Auction on June 14.)

Also, before the distribution, Ralph Winter will be talking to us about the expansive subject of Wooden Nickels; and we can review the status of the possible bus trip.

We'll have our usual tasty treats, good fellowship and maybe a little music to pass the time - we hope you can be present at this meeting! (Have you answered the ANA Bus and 50th Anniversary surveys yet?)
Our NWDCC speaker next week will talk on Hobo (not wooden) nickels - Joe asks that you feel free to come prepared with a question or two, after his talk

Next Meeting - Tuesday, April 26, 2011

Livonia Senior Center - 7:00 pm

Yes, that's right - this meeting will start at 7:00 pm because.....

as we noted two weeks ago, April 12 marked the Sesquicentennial of the start of the Civil War; so to observe that, members will bring a Civil War Artifact (preferably numismatic) to share with us briefly (each) during this first half hour.

Then we will address procedural business at 7:30 and after that move on to our Guest Speaker Brett Irick, Pres. of the Windsor Coin Club and Best-of-Show Exhibit winner at ANA/CSNS, who will talk to us about Japanese Invasion Money. (We will then break and proceed to our usual pick-and-choose auction.)

A few honors given at our prior meeting - Gary Kelly and Ron Beier are now Life Members, as is Member #1 Ottilie Nott who was also voted one of our Silver 50th Anniversary Medals! Also at last meeting, Don Priebe reported our Spring Show was one of our best, with Draw Prize tickets sold out and net proceeds of over $1,500.

We'll also have tasty Eastertime snacks and congenial beverages - we hope to have you with us!

Thank you! Participation by a great many of our Members helped to make our March 27 Coin Show another big success – Don Priebe will report to us at this meeting the exact nature ($) of that success. As we had a “recruiting” table for the first time, we signed up five new members!

            Treasurer Ron Beier returns to us from the south and will surely have travel tales and other observations to share, now that the period for ordering our 50^th Anniversary medals has closed.
            We may have a speaker on paper money at this meeting. In any case, before the meeting – this weekend! – is the MSNS Spring Convention at the Hyatt Regency/Dearborn, April 8-10, which you should attend. Also at this meeting, we’ll have great baked goods, good beverages and fellowship – hope to see you!

At this meeting, we may have the first meeting of our 50th Anniversary Committee to recommend medal/token design and manufacturer: Don Daughtery, Tom Klunzinger, Stan Miller, Steve Moskal, Jamey Price, Gary Kelly.

At our Nov. 9 meeting, Don Priebe reported we cleared over $1400 at our Fall Show and 26 Members helped out at the Show - thank you all!

Livonia Senior Center - 7:30 pm

This notice comes to you a wee bit early to ask that you bring your numismatic newspapers/magazines to our Fall Club Show this coming Sunday, November 7 (set your clocks back!) at the Senior Center, to give away to public attendees so as to disseminate numismatic knowledge. And you can enjoy the Show, too!

Now that our Treasurer has returned to the USA, he is:

1) accepting 2011 Dues in the amount of $10.00 (can also be mailed, easier at the meeting).

2) accepting reservations for our Annual Christmas Party to be held on Friday, December 10 at the Plymouth Elks Club as usual. This is free for Members who have attended at least six 2010 meetings, otherwise $10.00.

Our See/Sell/Swap event at last meeting was fun and different; the cider and warm donuts were enjoyed by all. At this meeting, Don Priebe will give us a preliminary report on just how successful our sold-out Club Show was. Also, during Nov. & Dec. we are accepting guesses (one per Member!) for the closing price of silver on the day of our Junk Auction in June (4 PM, 6/14/11). These will be kept in a sealed mayonnaise jar and opened then.

We'll have our usual fresh-baked donuts, congenial beverages, many good door & silver prizes, our pick-and-choose Auction and lots of fellowship - we hope to have you with us!

There will, however, be a silver round awarded to the member who shows up in the Best Costume, but a costume is not required!

As usual, some of our members have been travelling and we may have a report from them on their numismatic adventures. And this is our last meeting before our Fall Club Show on Sunday, November 7 at the Senior Center - listen closely to last-minute details.

In keeping with the season, we'll have tasty cider & donuts to go with our other beverages - we hope to have you with us!

As announced last month, the Mich-TAMS 50th/45th Anniversary Banquet will be held Friday evening, November 26 at the MSNS Convention - the deadline for low-price reservations is November 1, after which the price goes up $5 - forms available at this meeting.

A good time was had by all at our Mini-Bourse on May 11, with many fine items on offer and much numismatic activity - we'll probably do this again in the fall.

At this meeting, the main attraction will be a talk on "Tokens and Medals 101" presented by the Vice President of the Michigan Token & Medal Society which is hosting a banquet in November in honor of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the national Token & Medal Society at an MSNS Show in Detroit. Feel free to bring those "worthless" items of exonumia you may have lying about - you might be surprised!

As usual, we'll have our fresh-baked donuts, congenial beverages, many good door and silver prizes, our pick-and-choose Auction and lots of fellowship - we hope to have you with us!

Once again at our May 11 meeting our featured event will be an intra-Club Show - kind of a Mini-Bourse - during which you will be the feature of interest, as you bring your numismatic items to sell/trade to other members. (Limited space per person, of course!) Note there will be no auction at this meeting - our time and interest will be taken up as we look at our fellow Members' items on offer.

Planning ahead, we can also discuss possible summer activities such as the Night at the Movies and our Picnic!

Reminder: our annual Junk Auction will be held on Tuesday, June 8, at which we auction off all sorts of wonderful numismatic and other items for the benefit of our Club and our designated charities. Start planning now as to what you'll be bringing to be auctioned off for the benefit of our Club!

As always, at this meeting we'll have an excellent selection of donuts, warm & cold beverages and lots of good fellowship - we hope to have you with us

Thank you! Your participation and support of our Spring Club Coin Show helped make it another big success - just how big, Don Priebe will report to us at this meeting. Special thanks to Don for all his organizational work!

At our previous meeting we were treated to an impromptu counterfeit-detection seminar by Jamey Price - very educational! - and coming up on April 22 at the Hyatt will be the ANA Counterfeit Detection Seminar sponsored by MSNS - info at this meeting. As well, the MSNS 54thAnniversary Spring Show is at the Hyatt April 23-25.

As usual, we'll have our fresh-baked donuts, congenial beverages, many good door & silver prizes, our pick-and-choose Auction and lots of fellowship we hope to have you with us!

Remember! Spring Club Coin Show - Sunday, March 28, Livonia Senior Center

NOTE: Anyone who has not paid 2010 Dues as of this month will be dropped from the roster - we hope you'll stay with us and/or pay at the Coin Show if you can't make the meetings.

Several of our sunbirds are atill in the South but with Spring just around the corner we hope we've seen the end of the really bad weather! Our Spring Coin Show is undoubtedly another sellout, but that reinforces the need for our Club members to volunteer to help atthe show, particularly with table and dealer setup/teardown - can you help?

As usual, at this meeting, we'll have our fresh-baked donuts, congenial beverages, many good door & silver prizes, our pick-and-choose auction, after which Jamey Price will present this fun and interesting counterfei-detection exercise:

I'll be doing a counterfeit detection exercise at the next meeting. There I will set out an array of coins, and everyone can pick out which coins are real and which are counterfeits and note them down on pieces of paper, which I will supply. The premise is that you are at a show/shop with no more expectation than usual that you might encounter a counterfeit, you are an interested buyer for each of the coins on display, the price of each is individually attractive, the grade is acceptable to you, and you have sufficient funds available to acquire each. With that in mind, please bring with you anything you might expect to have in such a situation - I'd suggest at least a good glass. Afterwards, we'll do a survey and I'll reveal who missed good buys on genuine coins, and who bought expensive fakes.

Have your paid your 2010 Dues yet?

Our January 26 speaker James Zylstra was detained by family matters and so may join us at a meeting this month. Our Bourse Chair Don Priebe will probably be on hand to give a progress report on table sales for our March 28 Spring Club Show, and to apportion the draw-prize tickets.

Otherwise, we'll have our usual fresh-baked donuts, congenial beverages, many good door & silver prizes, our pick-and-choose Auction and lots of fellowship - we hope to have you with us!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! (After a year-end dip, we note that precious-metal prices are on the rise again.)

Have you paid your 2010 Dues?

BIG THANKS to the many members of our Club who volunteered their time at the MSNS Fall Show to help us perform successfully as a Co-Host Club! since this has produced a monetary benefit for our Club, there has been discussion of a Thank-You Dinner or other token of our appreciation for the volunteers - if an event, we'll have to decide on a suitable date. (Or it could be simply something in a small box.)

A good time was had by all at our Xmas Party, although a few members were bitterly disappointed by not being able to hang on to the Tiger Stadium T-shirt or the penguin in the White Elephant gift exchange.

We should now be looking at a general activity plan for the year ahead - meeting topics, outings, etc.

We may have reports from members who have attended two big upcoming conventions - Florida United Numismatists in Orlando, and the New York International Numismatic Convention.

Otherwise, we'll have our usual fresh-baked donuts, congenial beverages, many good door & Silver prizes, our pick-and-choose Auction and lots of fellowship - we hope to have you with us!

We must also continue to plan for our Co-Host Club duties at the MSNS Fall Convention next month in Dearborn next month, so the sign-up sheet for worker times will again be available at this meeting.

For inspection only (NOT FOR SALE) we'll have one of the new Lincoln Coin & Chronicles set, ordering for which on October 15 caused the Mint's website to crash - the authorized issue of 50,000 sold out in two days!

As always, we'll have tasty donuts, plenty of silver door prizes, good fellowship and the lots listed below, along with others which will surely be handed in on the day. We hope to have you with us!

Not to forget our Club Show fast approaching on Sunday, November 1 - again your presence helps to make it a success!

Our co-hosting duties for the MSNS Fall Convention at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Dearborn over Thanksgiving Weekend (Nov. 24-28) are coming up next month, so this would be a good time to start having a sign-up sheet at the meeting for blocks of time that you can work. (Again, we'll be sharing duties with the Michigan Treasure Hunters.) Generally, these are two-hour blocks of time during which you will set, guide traffic and provide information to attendees. (A lucky few will get to move cases.)

Welcome back! We hope you had a happy summer - it seems to have been busy! To kick off our Fall season, we'll have reports on our Retro Day in July, our Picnic in August, as well as on the big ANA Convention in Los Angeles in August.

Our featured speaker is Jamey Price, who says, "I'll be presenting about net-grading (EAC-style grading) of early copper coins, which is also applicable to silver and gold once you've learned how to do it. This is intended to be interactive. Members should bring a good glass, at least one grading guide and half cents, large cents and/or silver coins before 1830." (More info from Jamey at fish@fish-mail.com or 313-799-2646.)

NOTE: We now must start making lists of who will be present when, for our MSNS Co-Host duties over Thanksgiving weekend. And before that, don't forget our Club Show on Sunday, November 1.

Speaking of which, our Spring Coin Show - Sunday, March 29 is fast approaching! Bourse Chair Don Priebe reports all tables are sold and most volunteer requirements have been covered.

Bourse Chair Don Priebe again asks that you save up your copies of Coin World and Numismatic News so we can give them out to attendees at our Spring Coin Show on March 29, which is now sold out. Again, physical help is needed for setup/teardown - can you, or a younger relative, help with this?

At our previous meeting, we enjoyed having Gary Kelly and Joe Goode back with us; we send our best wishes to Linda Kelly as she works her way through her treatment.

As you recall, last year we established our own Florence Schook Scholarship Fund after a donation from her estate and announced an Essay Contest for juniors, but nobody applied. Trying again, your officers have decided on another Essay Contest, this time for our own Club members, with the scholarship award being Tuition/Room/Board to the ANA Summer Seminar in Colorado Springs - see Application Form which follows as a separate e-mail for details.

Forward planning: At our April 14 meeting, we'll have an overview of necessary duties and work-hours required for our Co-Host position for this year's Fall MSNS Convention at the Hyatt Regency/Dearborn over Thanksgiving Weekend. (Actual sign-up will come later.)

Reminder: If you have lots to submit for the auction, it helps our members to plan ahead/ bring adequate cash if your lots can be listed in this bulletin. You can simply bring the list (not the lots) to one meeting to be included for the following meeting; or not later than one week before the meeting, e-mail to teklunzinger@yahoo.com or send to P.O.

Gary K. presented his collection of error coins along with a clip about them from the Numismatic News, August 17, 2004 edition. Then the challenge began as each member revealed a ‘dream coin’. The results were as varied as the people in the club: from a 1792 half-dime (rumor has it that it was struck from Martha Washington’s silver) to an exotic Opium Dollar (hollowed out with a hinge). Onward with Indian head pennies, Hobo Nickels, Barber Dimes, Carson City Morgans, twenty- cent pieces, three- legged Buffalo Nickels, Silver Eagles, and the list goes on. The mere mention of many of these coins evoked a collective rush of excitement. At the next meeting, be ready to tell about your most valuable coin.

Next Meeting -- Tuesday, June 8, 2004 -- 7:30 p.m.

This is it! It's time for our annual JUNK AUCTION in which all manner of goods, many of them numismatic-related, are auctioned off for the benefit of the Livonia Senior Center and other worthy causes. There are always some pleasant surprises, so please come early to place your good lots on the sale tables, and also come prepared to BID and to BUY -- your conscience will be the better for it!

Are we having an activity in July/August? If you don't know already, you can find out at this meeting. In any event, the big ANA Convention will be Aug. 18-22 in Pittsburgh, an easy drive from here.

At our May 25 meeting, Rita Jene won $22 in Share-the-Wealth and Door Prizes went to Rita Jene(!), Pat K. and Vic W. We noted the passing of longtime collector and former member Bob Sayre, and donated $53 for Memorial Day poppies in recognition of the 10 Veterans present.

See you at the Junk Auction!

NORTHWEST DETROIT COIN CLUB

Next Meeting -- Tuesday, May 25 -- 7:30 p.m.

Congratulations (?) to Josie T., who volunteered to take over as Recording Secretary in June after the Junk Auction, which will be Tom K.'s swan song in that position.

Speaking of the Junk Auction, start rummaging around for items if you haven't done so already, since the focus is on raising money for good causes such as the Livonia Senior Center. While the Junk Auction began as, and should be, centered on numismatic items, delicacies such as frozen fish you've caught or cranberry bread you've baked always bring a good price.

Since Summer's just around the corner, we have a couple of things to decide -- will we have a 2nd meeting in June? Will we have a Summer Event in July/August? If so, what, where, and who will make it happen?

At our previous meeting, Fred C. won $29 in Share-the-Wealth, while Door Prizes were won by Florence S., Ann W. and Jerry G.

Hope to have you with us; if not, Happy Memorial Day!

This is the meeting at which we must start thinking about organizing our annual JUNK AUCTION for June 8 (it's early this year!). We might also give consideration to activities for July and August, when we normally have no meetings scheduled. Several members may have on-site reports of this weekend's Central States Numismatic Society Convention in Milwaukee.

It is now necessary to elect another Recording Secretary to prepare and send out the notices, as Tom K. has had increased commitments. (Following the MSNS model, not more than 1 family member should be an officer.)

There'll be plenty of tasty snacks and good fellowship as always -- we hope to see you there!

The prime attraction at this meeting will be Gary K. and Bob P. sharing their knowledge on "Full Step Nickels," being the how-to of what to look for in well-struck Jefferson Nickels that can command a premium price.

Congrats to Tom Klunzinger for winning (another) Best of Show at the MSNS Spring Convention for his Byzantine exhibit!

At our April 13 meeting, Barb D. (again) won Share-the-Wealth, $21; door prizes were won by Gary K., Stella G. and guest Matt B . We welcomed back absent members Marge & Will M and Gary S .

In the face of stiff competition from two other shows, Don Priebe managed to sell all the tables and traffic was brisk all day. Florence Schook staffed the ticket-sales table and some of our Club members were very lucky! THANKS MUCH to all Club members who helped out! At this meeting, Don will have a preliminary report on the financial statistics.

(If you didn't have time to burrow during the Show, some half-price Bargain Bowls will be at this meeting.)

At our March 23 meeting, Frank S. won $20 in Share-the-Wealth, while Jeannine, Walter and Ignatz won the Door Prizes. We welcomed our new member Mike P., soon after welcoming Ken K. on March 9.

Coming up very soon is our 42nd Annual Spring Coin Show which will be held at the Senior Center on Sunday, March 28. At our previous meeting, Don Priebe reported he's been working very hard to sell the last few tables in the face of two other nearby shows on the same day. Whatever that outcome, we need YOU to attend the show and to help out with setup and kitchen work -- Don's making a list! We hope you can attend this meeting to let us know how you'll help, if you haven't said so already.

At our March 9 meeting, the ever-lucky Barb D. won $33 in Share-the-Wealth, while Rich T., Bob P. and Jeannine P. won the Door Prizes. The Treasury report pointed out that we spent $327 for insurance for the year in February, with an ending balance of $3,136.54.

Don P. reported more dealers are still welcome for our upcoming Coin Club Coin Show on March 28, again at the Senior Center.

Note: the Siren Song of the South has called Ron and Carol from us for the month of March! Also note: have you seen the front-page photos in the March issue of World Coin News?

Next Meeting - Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2004

Livonia Senior Center -- 7:30 p.m.

Making up for lost time, our 34 members at the Feb. 10 meeting bought enough Share-the-Wealth tickets to produce a $30 prize for Pat K.; door prizes went to Keith M., Jeannine P. and Clare W. The 2004 Quiz resulted in a three-way tie between Ron B., Don P. and Scott W., with each receiving a nice silver prize. Don P. and Rita gave an informative presentation on Hobo Nickels of past and present, but no free samples!

Can you sell a table for our March 28 show? Don P. needs a little help since we're competing with the Flint Club and a private show nearby.

For this meeting, no auction lists had been submitted as of printing time, so you'll have to attend to know what bargains are available. Several of our members probably attended the Edison Dollar Launch on Feb. 11 so they may have souvenirs of the event. As in the past, there may well be a surprise talk on an unknown topic so you'll have to be present to find out about that too -- see you there!

NORTHWEST DETROIT COIN CLUB

Next Meeting -- Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2004

Livonia Senior Center, 7:30 pm

At our previous meeting, we had a festive crowd of 21 members despite the somewhat-inclement weather. Frank S won $16 in Share-the-Wealth, while a half-dozen door prizes went to Bob P , Josie T , Scott W , Tom K , Cheryl & Sarah D . Tom K presented and discussed his award-winning exhibit on Byzantine gold coins, while Don P presented and discussed a book about, and examples of, brothel tokens of 100 years ago. There was a moment of silence for our charter member Ed M ; a souvenir booklet from his memorial service was viewed and entered into the archives.

All members present received a freshly-minted Michigan Quarter, obtained at the Capitol "Launch Ceremony" the preceding day. (YOU are entitled to one if you weren't at the January 27 meeting!)

REMINDER: The Edison Dollar will have its Launch Ceremony this Wednesday, Feb. 11, at Edison's Menlo Park Lab in Greenfield Village. It will be the only place in the country to obtain Proof and Uncirculated versions of the coin and they will not be generally available for several weeks hence. Might one or more Club members be available to attend the Ceremony and purchase coins for fellow members? (Money up front, of course!)

It's possible we'll have a Quiz with an appropriate prize at this meeting; but in any event, we'll have the ever-plentiful donuts, fresh hot coffee, and the Auction.
