Regional Meeting at the Carson City Coin Show in August

If you’ve had your nose buried in the most recent edition of Curry’s Chronicle, you should already know that this August is going to be a very eventful month for C4OA. Only two weeks after we have our annual meeting in Los Angeles on August 6th at the 2009 ANA World’s Fair of Money, we’ll also be having a 2009 C4OA Carson City Regional Meeting at the Carson City coin show, hosted by the Nevada State Museum.

After a year of renovations, the Nevada State Museum will once again be hosting its Carson City coin show on August 21-22, 2009. During the coin show, the C4OA will host a regional meeting in an upstairs room at the museum. This will be a time of sharing, of questions and answers, and of showing our coins and telling about them. The meeting will be on Friday, August 21st from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. All members will then meet for dinner at 5:15 at Adele’s Restaurant, one of the finest eateries in Northern Nevada, located just up the street from the old mint building. (Please note: Due to the limited space available for our dinner at Adele’s, we’re restricting guests to C4OA members only.)

If you wish to add your name to the list of participants, please send a note to Maya Roberts at 5032 S. Virginia St., Reno, NV 89502, or call her at (775) 322-4455. Email: mariesgate@sbcglobal.net. This will be a memorable event for all who join in.

As a reminder to those of you viewing the blogsite, the deadline for article and letter to the editor submissions for the spring 2008 issue of Curry's Chronicle is January 31, 2008.

'Twas the "CC" That Saved Christmas

'Twas the beginning of winter
And all through the land
All of the coin dealers
Wished bullion was banned.

No Panda Bears, no Maple leafs,
No Krugerrands or Eagles.
No Philharmonics or Kangaroos,
Because they’d be illegal.

The people would be saddened
And void of Christmas cheer
All searching for a replacement
For bullion held so dear.

But what could replace bullion
And hold their hearts anew?
Perhaps a little “CC” coin
Struck in silver, and gold, too!

Any humble collector knows
The Carson Mint provided much
With three separate silver dollars,
And a twenty-center as a nice touch!

In addition to those special ones,
There’s five, ten, and twenty dollar gold,
Then the quarter, dime, and half dollar
With strikes that are so bold.

Bullion lovers, do not despair
Your hobby is not quite dead
You just need a change of pace,
So why not buy a “CC” coin instead!

Hello and Happy Autumn to all C4OAers!

Even though winter has not technically begun, as your C4OA membership services representative, I am proud to announce that the winter 2008 edition of Curry's Chronicle has already been shipped from our printers. (Of course, that means that we are a whopping eleven days ahead of schedule!)

I have already published the winter 2008 Curry’s Chronicle table of contents, containing eight articles that will be appearing in this issue, so please browse the right-hand column of the blogsite to view them. I think that reading them should give you that familiar tingle of anticipation.

For those of you that contributed to this chronicle by submitting articles and letters to the editor, we solemnly thank you, and hope that you continue contributing. For those of you that have not submitted anything, I hope this issue assures you that no matter what your expertise level is, your articles and letters to the editor will be treasured, and they will become apart of the C4OA legacy.

Aside from the anticipation of receiving your Curry's Chronicle, I hope that you all have a wonderful end-of-November, and a very special Thanksgiving holiday.

Warmest regards,

Maya
