ACCent: The Monthly Newsletter of the Anchorage Coin Club
The
Anchorage Coin Club was founded in 1988, to promote Numismatics in Alaska.
Fellow collectors meet once a month on the first Wednesday of that month to
share in the knowledge in this field.
The club holds several coin shows every year for the public. The club also
sponsors almost annually, an ANA seminar on topics like coin grading,
counterfeit detection, colonial coins, ancient coins and much more. These
seminars are taught by some the world experts in their field, people like Ken
Bressett, Bill Fivaz, and J.P. Martin. All are welcome, young or old, to come
and join our monthly meetings. There you will find many people who love to share
their knowledge and their enthusiasm in the coin collecting.
For more information about the Anchorage Coin Club, refer to the club's newsletter.
