Are you curious about coin collecting or looking to connect with others who share that interest? The SaddleBrooke Coin Club was established by Ken Marich in 2010. Our meetings are a great place to find a friendly group of enthusiasts eager to share their numismatic knowledge and collecting adventures. For those who may not know, numismatics is the study or collection of currency, including coins, tokens, paper money, and related objects.
Perhaps you have inherited a coin collection for which you know little or nothing about. With the all-time high price of silver over $50 and gold over $4,000 an ounce, that collection may be worth a lot more than you imagined. Free unofficial appraisals and advice are available from club members to help you with whatever your goals are.
The SB Coin Club meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month (except June, July, and August) at 6 p.m. in the Catalina Room, 38691 Mountain View Blvd., and always feature an educational topic. The SB Coin Club invites you to attend our next meeting on Nov. 13. The presentation will be about silver Peace dollars, which were minted for commerce from 1921-1935 and then again as annual, collectible, 1-ounce silver Anniversary Coins since 2021.
Guests and new members are always welcome! For any questions, you may contact SB Coin Club President Terry Caldwell at 719-246-1822 or email tjcaldw@gmail.com.
