Welcome to the Tampa Bay Coin Club. We have been serving the Tampa Bay Area since 1958!
President's Message
I am pleased to report that our election of officers for the year 2010 was held and I am happy to report that our new slate of officers will be formally sworn in at our next meeting scheduled for March 11th -- you can find the names of the officers and directors listed above on the web site. We look forward to everyone being involved in the running of the club.
I am also very very pleased to report that with an large assist from one of our new members, Anthony Yapchanyk, our revised and "new" newsletter was published, was posted to our web site for all to read, and was mailed via hard copy to all those requesting a copy and/or who do not have access to the internet (a mailing list is being compiled for mailing the newsletter and if you know of anyone wanting a copy, please send an email or give me a name and address at our next meeting). Anthony is already working on the March copy and has as an objective to publish the March edition the first week of March. IF anyone has articles or information, please contact Anthony at www.tampakiter@yahoo.com.
Some other good news - Charles Cave presented the first in a series of talks titled "Lighting, rotating, handling you coin" as part of presentation that will feature and hopefully educate people on how to grade coins. Charles also has made arrangements for a guest speaker from NGC to be present at our March 11th meetig. Please make plans to attend the meeting and bring a friend or two (hopefully prospective members). We expect to continue our series with Charles about grading coins in April which will be titled "Did you see???" We expect to end the educational series with the "Charles Cave Challenge" (and to make it interesting TBCC will offer several attractive prizes) in which all members will have an opportunity to grade a number of coins selected by Charles. The objective will be to compare and evaluate the level of skill members have grading coins.
A reminder to all members -- please send in item descriptions for the coins which you want in the March 11th auction by March 3rd. It is generally concluded that each coin or each lot of coins should have value of at least $10. The email address for sending listing is john@tampabaycoinclub.org.
Tampa Bay Coin Club will sponsor and hold three coin shows in 2010. According to Bourse Chairman, Mark Palermo, the dates for our shows will be March 6th, May 29th and October 16th, to be held at the American Legion on Kennedy Boulevard, Tampa.
On a different note, I do not know how many people who are members of local coin clubs are members of the ANA. In my opinion everyone should be a member as the annual dues of $35 are quite affordable and the benefits are many including access to the Manley Library. One of their most recent benefits announced was that ANA members could have digital access to Coin World magazine and titles. The membership also allows access to Coin Values, and Paper Money Values. As this report is written I can attest to having read the January and February issues of Coin World which came out. Now I must admit that I have grown to like a hard copy magazine which can then be saved, only to be discarded months down the road. It took a little manuvering to get the format and proper size to read the on-line version, but it was a "fun" read. Not sure how the advertisers will like it as in my case, I "breezed" (expended no time) through the advertisements -- kind of like recording a TV program, watching when I am ready to watch and "fast-forwarding" through the ads. So ANA members give it a try -- (I can just hear some of the "old boys" complaining!!!). I believe the one-year access has a current value of about $10.00 and there is no indication that the program of free access will extend beyond one year -- but that is OK, members can form their own opinions of usefulness and a decision, one year down the road.
We continue to look for new ways to make our web site more attractive and interesting. There is one interesting development from the web site -- there have been several inquiries from non-members and people in the area. So, people are looking at us. Hope to see everyone at our March 6th Coin Show at the American Legion.
