Memories of C4OA Meeting at Baltimore World's Fair of Money

A group of about 18 C4OA members and guests gathered for the club's annual meeting at the World's Fair of Money in Baltimore on Thursday, July 31, 2008. We discussed a few business matters. Then I (Rusty) presented a brief talk on how my quest for knowledge about baseball and horse racing many years ago transferred over to the subject of the Carson City Mint and its coins. C4OA was launched to help all "CC" enthusiasts discover information that will enhance their collecting experience.

Next, Weimar White spoke on the subject "Why there was a need for a club like the C4OA." He provided his reasons in a four-point presentation, covering, 1. Learning about "CC" coins. 2. Preserving the history of the Carson City Mint. 3. The importance of Constitutional money. 4. The investment potential of "CC" coins.

Next, Michael Parrott spoke on "What the C4OA means to me." He shared how his contributing articles to Curry's Chronicle has turned him into a more confident writer.

We then adjourned, and had an informal discussion period.

Wish you all would have been there---maybe next year in Los Angeles.

What a week that was in Baltimore! I viewed some of the greatest coins in the world. There were no less than five specimens of one of my ultimate dream coins, the 1870-CC $20; a couple of 1876-CC twenty centers; a magnificant set of "CC" Morgan DMPL's and much much more. I had the privilege of attending my first Heritage lot viewing and auction sessions with Rusty Goe, not to mention participation in my first C4OA meeting. See you all next year in Los Angeles. "B there..or B square."
