The Club Auction
Hi Everyone,

I had questions concerning the upcoming club auction. Here are the rules:

The maximum number of lots to be auctioned at any regular meeting per member will be five (5). Additional lots may be submitted as donations to the club.
All coins and other material must be appropriately packaged and described.
Minimum bids should be indicated on the auction slip and must represent the lowest acceptable price. Items at "no minimum" bid are identified as "Absolute" and will be sold to the highest bidder.
Condition of the coin or object should be in the description. Only numismatic related material is allowed at auction.
Anyone may bid on auction lots, however, sellers may not bid on their own material.
A runner will return "no bid" items and carry lots to the winning bidder.
Buyers and sellers will settle auction transactions at the conclusion of the auction. When available, member personal checks are acceptable as payment, however, non-members must pay in cash. An exception can be made by arrangement with the Treasurer.
Auction slips are attached.

More questions? Just emailed me or check our website.

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to share some good news. Recently, one of our members, Charles Anderson, has been named NUMISMATIST OF THE CENTURY by COINage magazine. For those who don't know, Mr. Anderson has been a supporter of our club since its inception. I can honestly say that the club would have had a hard time over the years surviving without his support.

You can read an article about his achievements at:
https://www.coinagemag.com/charles-c-anderson-sr/

If you are interested in helping support our club, you can still purchase a club medal. For more information about this and to read our newsletter visit our website at http://mccc.anaclubs.org/

The Madison County Coin Club of Huntsville, Alabama, will once again have Daniel Carr, proprietor of the Moonlight Mint, produce medals for the club. These 2025 medals will feature the $5 Half Eagle, which was designed by Bela Lyon Pratt.

The club's 2025 medals offered to the public are:
a 39 mm one troy ounce .999 silver medal with a serial number on the edge, and
a 39 mm copper medal.

The issue price of the silver and copper medals has not changed from last year. The cost and mintages are:

Silver: $100 with a maximum mintage of forty
Copper: $15 with a maximum mintage of sixty

Please note that earlier twenty of these were sold to club members as part of 3 medal set, which contained an additional brass medal. After being on sell for 4 days, only 19 silver and 35 copper medals are available. Also, note that these medals will be announced on various forums, websites and journals and will be available to the general public for purchase. Although you might be able to purchase a silver or copper medal later, it would be wise to go ahead and preorder these as soon as possible. It is important to note that last year's medals were sold out and none are available today. To reserve your medals, please email the type and quantity desired to [email protected] .

All proceeds from the sale of the 2025 medals will go directly to the Madison County Coin Club.
