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.
