November 26, 2012 - Minutes of the Indianapolis Coin Club Meeting.
Open – The meeting was called to order at 7:05 PM by Club President, Donn Wray. 29 people
present signed the attendance book. We met at the Northside Knights of Columbus Hall, 2100
East 71st Street.
Visitors – Vice President, Mike White introduced visitors Dean Wilson, Dean’s son, Max, anddaughter, Bella. Also visiting were Bert Cleveland and Dolly Lefot.
The Secretary’s report and the Treasurer’s report were accepted as published in thePlanchet.
Old Business – Jeff Berkovitz won 1st Place for his exhibit in the Michigan State Coin Show.
New Business – Joe Boling found a $10.00 Silver Certificate with North African stamp on it at
the Michigan State Coin Show.
President Wray reminded everyone that the Club’s annual Banquet would be at 6:00 PM on
TUESDAY, December 4, at the MCL Cafeteria, 2121 East 62nd Street, Indianapolis. Bring agift-wrapped present ($20 value) if you want to participate in the gift exchange. (Participationis Not required.)
After the Break, the 50/50 Drawing was run by Bob Bettcher.
The Educational Program – Mark Eberhardt gave the annual “State of the Hobby” presentation. He said that most buyers are looking for either “high-end” or “low-grade” coins. The dividing line is generally between VF and XF. He said there is a very big difference in price inmost denominations of US coins. He said most low grade coins are VERY cheap, while thehigh-end coin prices are very high and rising. What is HOT – Canadian coins and Commemorative coins; $1.00 “Star” notes in CU cond.; National Park Quarters; Type sets; and as always,
Morgan silver dollars. What is NOT – mint and proof sets; Shield Nickels; and Statehood
Quarters. Mark noted that this might be an excellent time to assemble a set of Shield Nickels,
since prices and demand is down. He also said there is a great concern in the hobby about thefact that there are not many young numismatists. Also of concern is the lack of volunteers.
Mark said there is a big increase in the number of coin auctions, and large fees to participate,both buying and selling. He warned the members to be very careful and, if possible, to view thelots before the auction to make sure that they are genuine and properly graded. Also, if you areselling, be certain to send the lots by registered mail, requiring a signature from the recipient.
Auction – Joe Boling ran the auction with assistance from Dave Reid, Bob Bettcher and Vinton
Dove. There were approximately 70 lots, including a large number of donated lots.
The meeting Adjourned at approximately 8:59 PM.
Respectfully submitted, Vinton Dove, Secretary
