century. During National Coin Week we take the opportunity to reflect on the evolution ofnumismatics and the role it has played in connecting collectors, enthusiasts, and the public.

in the literary works of Kurt Vonnegut, and remembering thetimes on family vacations at the C Lazy U Ranch in Granby,

One of Kevin's distinct traits was his unwavering love for his feline companions, Steak,Shrimp, and Butters, who brought him immense joy throughout his life. His commitment tohis business, was one of his proudest accomplishments, as he poured his passion into
building "The Coin Hunt" into a successful venture from the ground up.

those around him. Preceding Kevin in death are his beloved parents Robert Neal and Mary
Theresa (Jankowski) Hunt. Kevin is survived by his brothers Gregory Hunt, David (Christine)
Hunt, and Timothy (Ryanne) Hunt. He was the adored uncle to Julian, Theresa, Noah, Henry,and Andrew, and a dear friend to many including business partner James Kenjorski. He
additionally was a proud member of the Indianapolis Coin and Carvel Club?s. Together theymourn the loss of a cherished family member and friend.
A memorial gathering for Kevin will be on Saturday, April 20, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 3 PM at

M in u t es of t h e ICC M eet in g on M ar ch 18, 2023

Open - The meeting was held at the Northside Events and Social Club, 2100 E. 71 St.,
Indianapolis, Indiana, which was called to order at 7:01 p.m. by ICC President Sharon Bower.
The At t en dan ce Pr ize was a proof Bicentennial 40% silver Kennedy half dollar donated by
Gary Selig. There were 26 people in attendance.
The Secr et ar y 's Repor t for February 2024 was accepted as published in the Planchet, by aduly made motion that was seconded and passed by the membership. The Tr easu r er 'sRepor t for February 2024 was accepted as published in the Planchet, by a duly mademotion that was seconded and passed by the membership.
Visit or s? There were no visitors at this meeting.
Repor t s of Com m it t ees? There were no reports from any of the committees.
Old Bu sin ess? There was no old business that was reported on.
New Bu sin ess? Sharon Bower announced that the ISNA State Show for 2024 was canceled,
and it was announced that the Kokomo coin show also was canceled. Bill Eckberg remindedattendees that the Early American Coppers Convention is scheduled for May 16th-19th atthe Wyndham Indianapolis West Hotel. A generous donation to the ICC library of ninebooks was made by Bill Eckberg.
Nu m ism at ic Fin ds an d Not es of In t er est : Joe Boling passed around a short snorter on anote from Columbia, and Jim Anderson displayed a safe acquired from a demolition projectthat had a few coins inside.
Edu cat ion al Pr ogr am : Gary Selig gave the Educational Program talk titled ?Kennedy
Halves.? Gary gave many facts and figures regarding these halves which were first produced
sixty years ago, in 1964. Two Dansco Kennedy albums were displayed showing a nearlycomplete set of this series. Among several notables in the series includes the 1964 proof?heavily accented hair ? that was quickly modified due to concerns brought by Jackie
Kennedy, the 1998-S matte proof, generally the most expensive of the series due to its issue
in a 2-coin set, and some of the extremely high five-figure prices that have been paid forsome of these coins in top grades. Some of the double dies and error coins can bring muchhigher prices as well. A complete set of Kennedy halves is in the ballpark of 220 or so coins,
again depending on what the collector considers a ?must-have? or different variety with in
the series.
Au ct ion ? The auction was very light, with only 4 auction sheets, with $4.00 going to theClub.
Fif t y-Fif t y Dr aw in g: The prize for the 50/50 drawing totaled $75.00, with the club receiving$38.00 and the winner $37.00. The At t en dan ce Pr ize was also awarded. The meeting was

Respectfully submitted,

Tr easu r er 's Repor t f or Febr u ar y 2024:
On March 16, 2024, I sent a check for $400 to Mary Magee for her annual fee for managing the club's
website (I don't think that was in my last report). After the March club meeting, I deposited $102 into the
club's account. On April 1, 2024, I mailed a check for $100 to pay the room rental for our upcoming April
meeting. The club has $25,608.83 in our account as of today. That's my report.
