Next Meeting: Thursday, June 12
Sylvester Crosby's Other Book
– Franklin Noel –
Discussion on Crosby’s less well-known but more consequential book The United States Coinage of 1793.—Cents and Half Cents. In this work, Crosby invents the concept of the die study, using the features of coins themselves to quantify and identify the dies used to strike them. Die studies are the foundation for much research in ancient and medieval numismatics, and provide the basis for collecting early American coins, including colonials, half cents, cents, half dimes, dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars, by die variety.

the Northwest Coin Club
Our local club has a rich history in the promotion of coin collecting and the education of Minnesota collectors. Founded in 1934, the NWCC is the oldest coin club in the Minneapolis - Saint Paul area and thought to be the 2nd oldest “regularly meeting” club in the entire country!
Education is the main reason our club exists and we are committed to providing local enthusiasts with the best and most current information available.
If you are a serious collector - or just thinking about becoming serious - joining a local coin club can be the best step towards enriching your hobby of numismatics. But don’t let the word “serious” scare you. The NWCC is comprised mostly of true hobbyists who collect coins and currency simply for the joy of it. We are not primarily focused on “turning a quick profit” from our endeavors, but on learning long-term strategies, best practices and especially on having lots of fun along the way.
If you are a coin collector in the Twin Cities Metro area, we encourage you to attend one of our monthly meetings and experience the camaraderie, fellowship and education offered by the Northwest Coin Club!
