Members & Guests

Posted on October 15, 2014 by | Leave a comment

The last few Coin Club Meetings have seen quite a few Members and new Guests.

We are encouraged that Coin Collecting may be seeing a resurgence!

If you or a family member are interested in learning more about Coin Collecting, use our Contact Form below, or leave a comment on any of our Posts.

We usually have a lively meeting the 3rd Monday evening of every month in Aberdeen, Maryland. We offer handouts or copies of magazines we have received in the mail; we talk about old business and new business; we usually have a “show and tell” from one or more of our members; then we take a short break before the monthly Coin Auction.

The Auction is a great way to purchase some of your favorite Coins at really good prices. New members can get their Collection started; and seasoned members can add to their Collections.

Hope to hear from you, and to see you at the next Club Meeting, which will be Monday October 20th at 7:00 pm in Aberdeen, Maryland!

Lincoln – Kennedy Cent

Posted on March 22, 2013 by | Leave a comment

At the last Bel Mar Coin Club Monthly Meeting my son was given a 1974 uncirculated Lincoln Cent with a profile image of President John F. Kennedy engraved onto the Cent so the 2 Presidents are facing each other on the Obverse of the coin.  (see the scanned image below)

Lincoln-Kennedy Cent

Here are the Astonishing Coincidences with these 2 Presidents:

Lincoln was elected in 1860; Kennedy in 1960

There are 7 letters in each last name

Both men were slain on a Friday in the presence of their wives

Both were directly concerned with Civil Rights

Kennedy’s secretary named Lincoln warned him not to go to Dallas;

Lincoln’s secretary named Kennedy warned him not to go to the Theater.

Both of their successor’s were named Johnson; Andrew Johnson was born in 1808, and Lyndon Johnson was born in 1908.

Booth and Oswald were both Southerners favoring unpopular ideas.

Oswald shot Kennedy from a Warehouse and hid in a Theater.

Booth shot Lincoln in a Theater and hid in a Warehouse.

Pretty Astonishing!
