The Meeting
Welcome to the 268th meeting. There were 36 members and 2 guests present in April. The secretary's and treasurer's reports were read and accepted. The program was given by Peter Jones and was a delineation of the Legal Tender series of U. S. Paper Money. Peter explained the differences between the issues and also the engraving highlights.
The program this month will be given by Robert Moffatt and titled: The Story Of A "1786 M. 5.3, B.2”. To find out more about this subject you will have to attend the meeting.
George Bilodeau, Franz Hoerzer and John Golkowske exhibited and were awarded a silver dollar for their efforts. Anyone bringing an explainable exhibit is eligible for a silver dollar award. How about some new faces at the exhibit table?? The attendance prize was won by Al Donn.
Long time member Paul Gingras has donated much of his library of books, etc. to be sold or given away. We started by auctioning and giving away a few at the last meeting and we will continue until they are disbursed. Thanks again, Paul!
A new applicant were accepted into membership. He is: Winthrop Porter. Welcome to the club!
It was voted to donate $150.00 to the library and $100.00 to the Windham Recreation Dept. in lieu of providing meeting and coin show space.
The show and tell segment produced the following: Four Lazy Deuces from Norwich Banks, all very rare, A related memory on attending a seminar by Louis Eliasberg many years ago, (Mr Eliasberg. is regarded as the only person to have put together a complete collection of every U.S. coin), a counterfeit $10.00 bill on the First National Bank of Philadelphia and an impression of the same used in a Heath Counterfeit Detector (book). The counterfeit plate that made the notes was confiscated and then used to print the image for the Detector.
Willimantic Night Exhibits and Program
A year ago we spoke about doing this. So, this November's meeting will be set aside for an all inclusive exhibit and presentation on Willimantic memorabilia, numismatic and otherwise. We hope many members can contribute to the exhibits. Let's make this a memorable event! We could also invite the Chronicle to attend and possibly the public. We could set up 4-5 tables for Willimantic memorabilia. Do we want to do this? Let's talk about it at this meeting.
