NOTE: This November Newsletter was published late, after the November Meeting

Presentation: No Presentation in October

President’s Message: One of the reasons I look forward to our coin meetings is the anticipation of learning something new.  It could be the reason why a coin is so valuable, a story about why a particular ship is commemorated, idols of ancient civilizations, Military Payment Certificates of past wars, or even a love triangle connected to a token. What got me hooked into returning to the club meetings every month was Tom Snyder’s stories of banks along the Mississippi and the pictures on the bank notes depicting the local commerce.  Who would think? This aspect of our club is one of many benefits of all of us coming together and sharing our interests, no matter how odd they are.  So thanks for sharing and I hope to see more of your collections.  Happy Collecting – Randy!

Announcements: We are still looking for a candidate for the Secretary position for 2026.  Marcia has accepted the nomination for Vice President. Eric has accepted the nomination of President. Chuck has accepted the nomination for Treasurer.

Christmas Dinner: We will be returning to Tuscan Hall for our Christmas Dinner.  December 10 2025.   Doors will open at 5:30pm.  Cost is $25 per guest.  You can pay at the November meeting or on the night of the Party.  Email Eric so he has an accurate head count for the restaurant. ericroddy32@yahoo.com

Mint News: In 2025 the mint came out with, yes some are yet to come, 73 products. I wonder about which is the most popular. Do any of you collect the ornaments? I am excited to see what will be produced for 2026 considering it is the Semiquincentennial. Will there be more products released? Funny that will also be the year of no cent. Was there a redesign of the cent that now we will never see. Will some be produced by accident and this will be another collector’s dream to find like the 1907 Double Eagle. There will be different designs for circulating coins in 2026 including 5 coins and medals highlighting part of US History.
