Welcome to the King County Coin Club web-site! The King County Coin Club (KCCC) was formed in November 2005 to serve the coin collecting community between Seattle and Tacoma. The club meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM at the Tukwila Community Center, 12424 42nd Ave. S. in Tukwila. The club mission is to provide education and entertainment for its members and visitors alike. Most meetings follow a regular format- Introductions, news, show and tell, refreshments, a special presentation, an auction and a raffle. We have 3 special meetings a year- a summer Barbeque & Bourse in August, a Holiday Social in December and the Northwest Coin Grading Championship, held in November. Since its inception the club has featured special presentations by noted numismatists of national and local repute. The club holds a coin show in November and also serves as the host club for the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association annual convention in April. The KCCC is an American Numismatic Association affiliated club. We have members of all experience levels. Many good friendships have been formed since the club was started. We encourage all interested parties to visit a meeting and check us out. We guarantee you will have a good time! We hope you enjoy our web-site and thanks for visiting! If you have any questions regarding our club or if you need some coin advice of a general nature call us up at 206-914-6550. (FIND BELOW A COPY OF THIS MONTH'S NEWSLETTER) |

KING COUNTY COIN CLUB
Hello Coin Nuts!
As we enter the fairest of seasons, Seattle emerges from under the toadstool. Unlike Californians, we are not sun worshippers. We see the sun so seldom it scares us. Upon its brief annual appearance we immediately start slathering ourselves with high octane sunscreen and covering ourselves with wide brimmed hats, fearfully hunkering in the shade and wondering what we did wrong to merit such attention from old Sol...
Last month our featured guest slave speaker was Mike Zagorin from the Tacoma = Lakewood club. Mike presented a wide array of propaganda leaflets from the first Gulf war. The club was quite interested and we have set about preparing our own propaganda leaflets, to be distributed among member of other local numismatic societies before our Barberarian invasions. Thanks Mike, you’re free to go now…
This month our featured speaker is Mr. Bill McKivor. Having Bill speak is the numismatic equivalent of hearing Sinatra sing. Bill’s talk will be entitled “Random Musings of an Insane Numismatist”. His own title, I might add. Note to our Sgt. Of Arms- Remember to bring the tranquilizer darts, just in case Bill has gone over the edge.
A reminder to our regular members- there will be no July meeting so try to make this one. Bring your booty and your bounty… we’ll see you Thursday in Tukwila!
Our picture this month was taken near the Robin Lakes, in Washington’s Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Mount Daniel is in the background. Let me know if you want to go!
