THURSDAY LUNCH CLUB REPORT APRIL, 2024

We were missing three friends today, Matt Virga, Wayne Shelby and Dan Knight. Meeting on a semi-regular basis, we should consider obtaining an official name for our lunches...a club name of some sort. You guys in Virginia have Nummis Nova. At lunch we share personal stories, numismatic items, personal research and numismatic comings and goings (along with aches and pains and medical issues - LOL). Typically we enjoy about two hours of fellowship. The lunch club members all have a common interest in colonial numismatics - coins, medals and paper.

 

Attendees of the April 4th Thursday Numismatic Lunch Club Clockwise: Bill Liatys, Mike Brooks, John Louis, Ray Williams, Roger Moore, Don Hartman, Leo Shane.
