I am writing to echo John Kleeberg's remarks. Like the Bronx Coin Club, the New Jersey Numismatic Society is, indeed, alive and well.

Our monthly meetings generally draw between 20 and 25 attendees. We normally meet on the third Monday of the Month at the Madison, NJ Library at 7:30 pm (except in February, when we meet in Chatham, and August, when we meet, along with other New Jersey clubs, at the ANA Convention). Our meetings generally feature a presentation on a specific topic followed by a general show-and-tell session.

Like the Bronx Coin Club, we were founded in 1933 and have numbered some impressive numismatists among our members. This tradition cointinues, as we count not only several numismatic luminaries, but also a number of officers of other New Jersey coin clubs, among our current members.

As the current president of the Society, I hope that the readers of The E-Sylum who live in or near New Jersey (or are just visiting) will take the opportunity to attend a meeting!
