The Tidewater Coin Club is a not-for-profit organization dedicated
to the numismatic needs of collectors in the Tidewater Virginia area and to
education regarding the history of coinage. The Club was established in February
1956 and has met continuously since. We are a member club of the American
Numismatic Association and the Virginia
Numismatic Association. Monthly club meetings are held on the third
Tuesday of each month at 7:30PM at the Norfolk VFW Post 4809, 5728
Bartee Street, Norfolk, VA 23502. 
Each meeting features door prizes, raffles, numismatic exhibits, refreshments,
and an educational program on some aspect of numismatics. Dues are
$20 per year for adults, $5 per year for junior members (under 18), $25 per
year for a family membership, and $175 for an adult life membership. January
is the annual membership renewal month. Meetings (except for December)
are open to anyone with an interest in numismatics. Membership is encouraged.
Attention
members: If you are a member of the ANA, please send an email to webmaster@tidewatercoinclub.org

Announcements:
The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond is looking for someone to give a presentation
on Colonial American money on Tuesday, September 17 to their internal staff
– a high level overview of what it was like in Colonial America and how
difficult the money system was. It would be a 30 minute time slot including
Q&A. Additionally, they would like to host a fun 30 minute Money Roadshow,
similar to PBS' Antiques Roadshow. They have seven employees who have submitted
photos of the money that would have a quick less than 5 min evaluation –
something to help them better understand that they have. Photos would be shared
prior to the roadshow to allow time to research their entries. For example,
someone has a 1943 steel penny. Some basic history about the need to mint
US steel pennies and a possible value estimate range – we are not looking
for anything official. The program would last from 1:00 – 2:30, followed
by an opportunity for questions. They suggest arriving at 10:30 to get checked
in and go over any AV needs. Lunch would be provided. You would be able to
leave at 3:00.
If you are interested in helping with their presentations, call (804) 697-8408.
