October 22nd Meeting Announcement

The next meeting of the Collectors Club of Boston will be held at 7:30 P.M. on Tuesday, October 22^nd, 2013 at the Trinity Church 730 Main Street, Waltham, MA. 

The feature of the evening will be “Heavy Metal Exhibit Night”

 A unique show and tell session will be the highlight of this regular meeting night. Some members will be displaying numismatic items usually too large or heavy to normally present at monthly meetings.  These will be on display all evening and are expected to take up to six or seven tables of display space. 

So far we expect 

• A fine collection of Sweden Plate Money, a collection of large numismatic medals
• A collection of 12-15 steel and copper banknote engraving plates mostly from New England
• A second collection of banknote engraving plates, again from a New England state
• Gold NENA Medals and their Dies
• A selection of various larger than normal medals
• A large plaque engraved by Bela Lyon Pratt, the designer of some of our gold coin issues 
• A large ancient silver Syracuse Decadrachm
• A very large imitation Syracuse Tetradrachm
• A shooting collar with 13 medals 
• plus items that did not make it in time for this listing.

It is a considerable effort for the exhibitors to transport and exhibit these oversize and heavy items and that itself should be reason to try to attend this meeting. These items will probably never again be brought together in one place where we all can enjoy this once in a lifetime exhibit of unusual numismatic material.

We look forward to seeing members and guests.

Please note our business meeting will be brief including show and tell to allow adequate time for our special exhibits night.
