As a fellow member of the Chicago Coin Club, albeit from afar (Central PA), my heartiest congratulations to the CCC. Some of the best times I have ever had in numismatics I have had either at Rosemont or downtown at the Bar Association in the company of the CCC members. I genuinely wish every collector could experience the Chicago Coin Club.

Wow, that's an incredible accomplishment. My local club is up over 800 meetings. This is "only" our 80 year.

Unbelievable accomplishment. Very Well done. I especially like your motto. Too true as is Mike's. Elongated Walkers will likely make some collectors cringe but I like them. Very unique. Good luck in the coming years.

It is amazing that the club average one meeting a month for 100 years. You thought there might be a cancellation for weather. great job.

That's a great line we learn by teaching. Congratulations on your well deserved anniversary. We say spread the word. Just think how many have learned in all those meetings. There is a famous quote I I heard What a Man Does for Himself Dies With him.What He Does For Others Lives And is Immortal. That's why we do with coins we share and learn from each other. Good luck on future meetings. Keep that teaching going. Thanks. Mike.
