The meeting was attended by sixteen members. Our program featured PROOF SETS and PROOF COINS. Presented was: a 20 Balboa silver 3 oz. coin from Panama, 1973 Bahama set, and U.S. slabbed and mint packaged modern commemorative halves and silver dollars. After a lengthy time discussing these interesting examples, we broke for refreshments and had a raffle. The cakes and other goodies were donated by some members, which was much appreciated.
We then continued with Show & Tell as members exhibited other items. They included a full uncut U.S. Mint sheet of 1981 $1 bills and special currency presentation sets.
Other interesting collectible items presented were: model cars from various James Bond movies, a vintage circa 1920’s radio and a rare radio tube.
It was announced that the Annual Whitman Baltimore Spring Expo will be held, March 30 – thru April 2, 2017.
The next meeting will be April 17 and the topics will be: WINGED LIBERTY HEAD, “MERCURY” DIMES, and INDIAN, “BUFFALO” NICKELS, and other collectibles of interest.
