In my presentation topic a member asked me if I wanted post in this topic some coins from my collection of the genoese coinage , this is one of my last bought : Genova Governo dei Dogi Biennali ( 1528 - 1797 ) Zecchino 1734 Gold Weight 3,43g. R/: DVX ET GVB REIP GENV OM Genoa's arms D/: NON SVRREXIT MAIOR 1734 St. John the Baptist ex: G.B.Rinaldo collection ( From Auction Bolaffi 10/6/2015 lot 1487 )

It's no bad thing to be introduced to other areas of interest. This year our talks are as follows: Designs on Decimal Coinage of Napoleon I Wild Men & Running Horses - Our German Heritage Heaven blesses George's throne Times and Coins of William the Lion The Congleton Hoard Coinage of the first two Georges Viking Coins of York In the past we have had Graham Dyer talking about Victorian milled coins, Joe Bispham on Edward VI base shillings, Lee Toone on Romano-British, I've given talks on the Weyl Patterns and Charles I Civil War coinage, Edward I/II pennies, plus there have been many more talks on equally diverse topics. It's good to get away from your usual hunting ground as it makes you ask questions on subjects that you would ignore in normal circumstances.

You are right 1949, you do have to get through all the things you are "not" interested in, at a coin club meeting, before getting to something you are interested in. The thing that makes the coin club meeting for me, is the monthly auction. Our monthly coin club has anywhere from 70 to 95 collectors in attendance, and a 100-150 lot auction, each month. If they didn't have the auction, the attendance would be much smaller!
