The Coin Club of Greater New Bedford is a non-profit (501C) club whose primary goal is education.  The Coin Club of Greater New Bedford was founded in 1938.  It is among the oldest coin clubs in the country, having celebrated its 75th Anniversary in 2013.  Their website address is www.CCGNB.com.  Their goal is to promote the advancement of friendship and education through numismatics in the greater New Bedford area and beyond. That said, if you are interested in coins, coin collecting and paper money, the Greater New Bedford Coin Club is holding a Coin Show on Sunday, May 29, 2016 from 9 AM to 2 PM at the V.F.W. Poirier Post 3260, 281 Appleton  Street, New Bedford, MA 02745. Admission is FREE! Each attendee receives a FREE wooden nickel, and there will be a raffle, and you do not need to be present to win. Bring a friend!

There will be about 25 tables at this show, with an extensive variety of coins, foreign and domestic, a select number of gold coins, and others including Morgan silver dollars, silver Eagles, wheat pennies, Barber coins, collectible metals, tokens, wooden nickels, and paper money, including early American paper money, silver certificates, gold notes, civil war fractional notes, confederate currency, national state bank notes, and foreign bank notes as well. This is just a sampling of what you may find.

You may join the club for a fee of $15 annually.  Visit their website at www.ccgnb.com.  They hold monthly meetings, which include an educational component, as well as the latest news and discussion of what's new in numismatics, events, etc. They hold an annual trip to a major coin show or coin-related retreat in our region, as well as social gatherings throughout the year, and holiday celebrations!

If you have a child or grandchild that you would like to bring along, please do!
