This week: Tuesday, March 7 will be a club discussion meeting.
Geoff Easton (above) shared one of his hobbies with us: numismatics, or coin collecting. He's been doing it for about 20 years after he inherited some coins from his wife's aunt. He showed us some coins from his collection, some informational books, and some tools he uses to view coins. The value of coins depends on rarity, the number minted, the year it was minted, and the place it was minted. They are graded on a 70 point system: 1 being very poor quality and 70 being in flawless, mint condition. The coins in his collection ranged from American coins of all types and years to ancient international coins. If you'd like to hear more about his collection or see more of it, just ask--it was clearly a huge passion of his!
