Large Turnout for Club Meeting

About 30 people attended the Willamette Coin Club’s September 17 online meeting. We watched a fun, informative presentation about proof sets. Ricky, a young numismatist, did a lot of research and put together a great slide show.

Afterwards the attendees voted on the club’s first photo contest. Watch this space for an announcement about the winners and their photos.

August Meeting

The club met online for its August meeting. Club member Frank presented about Fugio coins, the first official coins of the United States. We gave away a few coins and discussed club business. If you are interested in joining us for a future, remote meeting, please get in contact and we can send you the details.
