Nathan Markowitz provided this week’s “headline” coin and
the following:
This past weekend I set up at my first regional show.
Brad had kindly sent me some additional old issues of our Journal and I
brought a half case of early material. I happened to have three
interesting late die states of early quarters (y’all know how much I dislike
late state coins) and spent some time sharing them with shoppers who showed any
interest. Included were four young dealers, the youngest a mature 14 years
of age at his own table next to mine. I offered JR Journals to those who
seemed interested and several insisted on getting a copy and were delighted to
hear those four magical letters: FREE. Time will tell if this helps
build new members and students of early silver but I can say it was a rewarding
experience and the interest is out there. I highly encourage others to
promote the club at local shows as you are able…it was great fun.
Nathan
