Are you curious about coin collecting or looking to connect with others who share that interest? The SaddleBrooke Coin Club was established by Ken Marich in 2010. Our meetings are a great place to find a friendly group of enthusiasts eager to share their numismatic knowledge and collecting adventures. For those who may not know, numismatics is the study or collection of currency including coins, tokens, paper money and related objects.

Perhaps you have inherited a coin collection for which you know little or nothing about. With the all-time high price of Silver over $50 and Gold over $4,000 an ounce that collection may be worth a lot more than you imagined. Free, unofficial appraisals and advice are available from club members to help you with whatever your goals are.

The SaddleBrooke Coin Club meetings are held the second Thursday of each month (except June-July-August) at 6 p.m. in the Catalina Room, located at 38691 MountainView Boulevard, and always feature an educational topic. The SaddleBrooke Coin Club talk on Thursday, December 11 will be on the rare silver Gobrecht Dollars that were only minted from 1836 to 1839.

Guests and new members are always welcome! For any questions, call Terry Caldwell, the SaddleBrooke Coin Club President at (719) 246-1822 or send an email to tjcaldw@gmail.com.
