The Numismatic Literary Guild (NLG) honored Curry’s Chronicle with its 2010 Best Issue in Small Publications for Clubs category. The NLG bestowed this same award on our popular journal in 2007 and 2008. Last year (2009), Curry’s Chronicle received NLG’s Extraordinary Merit award in this category. The American Numismatic Association (ANA) awarded our journal with Third Place honors in its Specialty Numismatic Publication category. Curry’s snagged this same honor from the ANA in 2008. These awards give us much cause for pride, especially since our club is only five and a half years old.
Special Announcement
All of our C4OA members will be happy to hear that Southgate Coins assistant manager Maya Roberts gave birth to baby Embry on Monday January 18. This is Maya's first child. We wish her and her new daughter all the best.
Congratulations to Maya and Matt on this special addition to their family!
If you are looking for a unique gift idea for that certain coin or history enthusiast, you should consider the award-winning biography by Rusty Goe, about Cason City Mint superintendent James Crawford.
For the next five years, one generous member of the Carson City Coin Collectors of America has sponsored 20, free one-year memberships to children 12-years old and under. That’s a total of 100 free memberships pledged by this devoted member!
Rusty Goe will give a PowerPoint presentation at a Carson City Historical Society lecture series meeting on Wednesday October 21, 2009.
The start time is 6:00 p.m.
The location is the Carson City Library, 900 N. Roop St., Carson City, NV.
The topic is “Harold M. Budd, Sr. – The Ambassador of Carson City Coin Collecting in the First Half of the 20th Century.”
Please look at the updated menu of features on the left side of this Web site. You’ll notice that just under Mintage Figures, there's a new section titled “Auction Prices.” Click on it and you'll see actual auction prices realized for each of the 111 date-denomination combinations in a complete set of Carson City coins.

After literally months of planning schedules, coordinating volunteers, and publicizing the event, we are proud to announce that the 2009 Annual C4OA Meeting and Carson City Coin Symposium lived up to, and exceeded all expectations.

Following is an ad that appeared in the July 2009 issue of The Numismatist to publicize the C4OA's Carson City Coin symposium scheduled for August 6 at the ANA's World's Fair of Money convention in Los Angeles. Special speakers include Bill Bugert, John McCloskey, Darrell Low and Rusty Goe.
As you might have noticed, there has been a lot of construction occurring on the new C4OA website. We’ve been adding new threads to the Discussion Board, publishing new posts in the News and Articles section, and steadily working behind the scenes to create a user-friendly, attractive, and versatile website where all “CC”-enthusiasts can thrive. As of today, June 9, 2009, we have added a new “wing” to this website, and we believe that this is one of the most special additions yet.
