Miami Valley Coin Club

Great Presentations for May, June and July!

At our May meeting we were lucky to have a presentation by Stephen Petty of Columbus on the fabulous collection of Liberty Seated Dollars he and his late son Mark assembled. Steve shared a wealth of information on this fascinating, and much rarer, precursor to the Morgan series. The Dayton-Kettering Coin Club was lucky to get this quality presentation by this well know expert. Thanks, Steve! You can visit the Liberty Seated Collectors Club to learn more.

 And our luck continues in June and July. Brad Karoleff, noted Cincinnatiarea numismatist and editor of the John Reich Journal, will speak to the club at our June 7 meeting. Brad is also President of the John Reich Collectors Society. The Society is dedicated to American gold and silver coins issued prior to the Liberty Seated series; seems like the club is heading further back in time. Thanks to Dave Heinrich of the Cincinnati Numismatic Association and the Central States Numismatic Society for helping arrange for both Steve’s and Brad’s presentation.

 At our July 5 meeting, John Roberts of ANACS will visit the club. John is the Director of Attribution Services for ANACS and is a noted expert on Morgan Dollars and their varieties. He’ll be switching gears for our club, and will be talking about his own collection of pieces with coining presses on them. It promises to be a very interesting presentation.

When you stop and think about it, it’s pretty amazing that we have this wealth of numismatic talent at our doorstep. Make sure you get to both the June and July meetings – you won’t be disappointed!
