The Bellaire Coin Club is a recognized leader in numismatic education in the community. Our regular educational programs are designed to convey interesting facts and insightful stories about coins, paper money, and numismatic history, all in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Many of the presentations are enhanced through the use of our club’s Video Microscope, which allows the presenter to show, up close, many features on a coin via a live color video display, allowing the audience to instantly share the history behind the coin. Each presentation is held at our regular twice monthly meetings, at the Bellaire City Library, 5111 Jessamine, and will typically last between 20-40 minutes.
Our current schedule of programs at the Bellaire Coin Club:
Next meeting Announcement -
We will meet Monday night, February 6, 2011, at the usual time
and place - in the Bellaire Library.
Valentine's day is coming up. The most common day of the year to
get married - my wife and I got married on Feb 14, at 14:14.
Little is known of St.Valentine and many of our Valentine's day
traditions may have been made up by Chaucer. Once again love
matters are mysterious. Bring that love token, currency with a
rose, or other love themed numismatic item for show and tell.
Also , its just days away, the Bellaire winter show put on by Ed
Stephens - be there early on Saturday.
.
Brian Holland has bravely stepped up to present a program on
Byzantine gold for March 5. With numerous additions to his
collection, this will be a new and expanded version of a
previous talk. I would like to put out a call for topics,
themes, or speakers for future meetings. You can talk to me at
the meeting or call me at 832-527-6916 to discuss a program,
presentation, or meeting topic.. ...
.
.. There will also be the auction, followed by " The Usual
Suspects Numismatic Study Group" reconvening at Jax Grill for
libations and comestibles - ei food and drink.
Look forward to seeing you there. And remember - it's coins, it
has to be fun (and informative).
