Some “News and Notes”
From ICC Vice President Michael White

Hello fellow Indianapolis Coin Club members. Due to time constraints and some transitions
that are being made there isn’t an article for the Planchet this month. I hope you’re not too disappointed, but we DO have some interesting information to share with you instead, so here it is:

The Planchet has a new Editor!
I am very pleased to announce to the I.C.C. membership that we have a new Editor for themonthly newsletter. Id like to thank I.C.C. member Andy Nohrwold for stepping up andtaking on the position of Editor of The Planchet. Andy took it upon himself to learn Microsoft Publisher so that he can edit the newsletter each month from now on. He put together
the body of this months newsletter (minus this page) and did just fine with virtually no help
from me. Due to our busy schedules we had no time to put together an article for this month
but they will resume in the October issue of The Planchet.
Indianapolis Coin Club 75th Anniversary medals
Vinton Dove has informed us that he will have pricing and availability information on the2014 Indianapolis Coin Club 75th Anniversary medals to share with us at this months meeting on Monday. Initially it is our intent to produce at least 50 silver medals (.999 silver @1+ troy ounce) as well as 150 bronze/brass medals. It is important to note that they must be
pre-ordered and pre-paid at our October meeting. If you are interested in obtaining one ormore of these medals you should make sure you attend our September meeting this Monday
the 23rd to learn what is available and then also attend the October meeting (October 28th)
prepared to pay for your items so they can be ordered. If you cannot attend and would like
information please contact Vinton Dove at vdove43@att.net , Dave Reid at dcrcoinman@aol.com , or Michael White at h_d_mike@att.net or (317) 446-1411.
Annual “State of The Hobby” address
One final note; please notice that we’ve made a change in the Educational Program calendar
to make everything work for our members schedules. Mark Eberhardts annual “State of theHobby” address will be next month instead of November. This is always a popular talkgiven by Mark so you’ll not want to miss it. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasureof enjoying this program, it’s an update on the ‘real world’ trends in the numismatic world
as seen through the eyes of someone who makes their living by learning and understanding
these trends. There’s always some great information from Mark so please don’t miss it andyou may want to take notes!

(A complete schedule of the 2013 Educational Programs is on the last page of this newsletter.)That’s all for now so I hope to see you all at our meeting on Monday!

Michael WhiteAugust 26, 2013 - Minutes of the Indianapolis Coin Club Meeting.
Open – The meeting was called to order at 7:05 PM by Club President, Donn Wray. 39 people
signed the attendance book. We met at the Northside Knights of Columbus Hall, 2100 East 71stSt.
The Secretary’s report was read and accepted and the Treasurer’s report was accepted aspublished in the Planchet.
Old Business – None.
New Business – Board Member, Jim Warden announced that the Board had decided to allow
cut bids if accepted by the auctioneer.
ICC member, Shannon Spears, donated a 2013-S Kennedy Half Dollar, PCGS graded PR-69
DCAM as the door prize. ICC Vice President, Mike White, reminded the members that Exhibit
Night was the program for the September meeting. If any member will need a display case,they should notify Mike, Mark Eberhardt, Vinton Dove or Donn Wray before the meeting.
Mike also announced that those members volunteering to assist the ISNA in setting up for theISNA show should meet at the storage facility around 3:30 PM, since the Marriott will not allow ISNA to set up prior to 4:30 PM on Wednesday, October 29.
The Secretary gave a report on his experiences at the ANA Money Show. He said he viewed an1804 Silver Dollar and a 1913 V Nickel in an exhibit. Also, he reported that Jeff Berkovitz received a Blue Ribbon and a medal for first place for his exhibit of Indiana Medals.
The Educational Program – Bob Julian and Dave Colford of the Logansport Coin Club gave
the program for the evening. Bob gave a True/False quiz which contained several “tricky”
questions. He then commented on his inability to get the US Government to allow him to viewcertain Mint records, even though he had been given written permission to view them, and how
he was denied his legal right to view records under the Freedom of Information Act. The membership could sense his frustration. The program was well received and enjoyed by the membership.
Visitors – Jack Conroy, who was a member of the Club many years ago, reported that he wasstill collecting Irish coins, and had silver for sale. Also, he said his father is still a coin and currency collector. Paula Phelan and Joe Jankowski were only other visitors.
After the Break, the 50/50 Drawing was run by Bob Bettcher and won by Shannon Spears.
The Door Prize was awarded to Richard Kinnett.

TBA = To Be Announced*For 2013 we are introducing an 'Attendance Prize' drawing at each monthly meeting as an added incentive for all I.C.C. members to attend as many meetings as possible and to encourage new membership. Everyone attending each regular monthly meeting will receive a prize ticket when they arrive at
the meeting and sign in at the greeting table. The prize each month will be a 90% silver U.S. Half Dollar (or equivalent 90% silver content coin) The I.C.C. Board members and officers as well as several
I.C.C. members chose to act as sponsors and donate the monthly prizes rather than funding them fromour budget. You'll find the monthly prize sponsor listed below each monthly meeting date above.
You'll just have to show up to see what you may win!
Please keep this in mind each month; regardless of who is giving the monthly program and/or the topic, we owe it to that person and themembership to remain quiet and pay attention during the program. It’s important that we respect the knowledge that is being sharedwith us as well as the time and effort the speaker is donating to our club.
The same rules should apply to our monthly auctions; please remain quiet and pay attention.
Thank you.
