jlueke Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Some of the National Societies and Associations date back to the 19th century but it seems like most local clubs sprung up in the 1950's. Our club, is celebrating our 5oth anniversary though it may be a few years older still. How old is your club? TCACC History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I'm not fortunate enough to have a local coin club, but the society of which I'm a member was founded in 1903. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just carl Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Consider yourself lucky to even have a local coin club. In most large cities the crime rates are so extensive now that belonging to a coin club is just not to smart. The people I know that do use a phony name and address to prevent such info from leaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think some of our members may be armed but there's been no real trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think some of our members may be armed but there's been no real trouble. I'm in Chicago. Only one coin club I've heard of and it is a really closed situation. Met some members at a coin show and discussed the club. No one uses thier real names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. At coin shows all over the area the dealers will not disclose personal information. If you read our papers here, crime is running rampant. With the poor economy, allowing anyone to know you have coins in your house, apartment, condo, etc. is just asking for a robbery. Two such on my block alone.

There's the Chicago Coin Club which is open and meets downtown Chicago Coin Club and the Ancient Coin Club of Chicago which is also open and meets in harlan Berk's store.
