-Ed Wheeler shared info about local coin shows, and info concerning our up-coming coin show in May, 2020. We have sold 50+% of the available tables for the show. Members wanting a table were advised to get them now. We sent out over 60 solicitations to dealers for the remaining available tables.
-Ed Wheeler gave the secretary notes from January Meeting. Brad Boomsma has joined the coin club board as Secretary - replacing Mark Yarborough.
-Steve Weeks gave the treasurer's report. The club remains solvent!!
-Tom Yancey gave an educational presentation on “Urban Legends” in the world of coin collecting. Tom’s program on the origins of the model for the Standing Liberty Quarter dispelled the long-standing myths about the 1916 version of this coin!!
