Welcome to the SCC! |
The Seattle Coin Club (SCC) is a vibrant local coin club serving the Seattle and greater Puget Sound region. The previous Seattle Numismatic Society (SNS) was founded in 2003 by the merger of the former Seattle Coin Club and the former University Coin Club. As of January 2023, the club has returned to using the SCC name. The SCC welcomes all numismatists — persons who study, collect, or deal with coins, paper money, tokens and medals. The SCC is proud to present seattlenumismaticsociety.org, our home on the World Wide Web! This site is updated at least monthly to bring you accurate and up-to-date information about numismatics in the Seattle area. SCC members are also available to help answer your questions about numismatics. Please don't hesitate to ask us a question or to contribute information for possible use on this site! |

Back to Seattle Coin Club!The SNS decided to resume using the name "Seattle Coin Club," originally one of the two clubs which merged in 2003. This change took effect in January 2023, 20 years after the SNS was formed. The website will remain the same for now, however, you can begin using the new domain name, seattlecoinclub.org, which will automatically forward to this website. (Updated 1/30/2023.) Photo: Members present at the inaugural meeting on January 12, 2023, of the newly renamed Seattle Coin Club (SCC). The SCC was founded in 1936, but became the Seattle Numismatic Society (SNS) from 2003 to 2022. (Click on photo to enlarge.) Seattle and University Coin Clubs MergeSee the SNS Merger page.

What is our charter? — Per the bylaws, Article II, "This organization is formed for the mutual benefit of its members. Each member will exert every effort towards the advancement of numismatics, and towards making the organization a success by obtaining new members." In doing so, the SCC contributes to the mission of the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association (PNNA) to "promote, extend, and protect the interests of numismatists and numismatic activities throughout the Pacific Northwest and to foster and encourage the study of numismatics in all its forms." What do we do? — In addition to maintaining this web site, the SCC publishes a monthly newsletter, has monthly meetings, an annual banquet and promotes numismatics through special programs, activities and awards. SCC members participate in the numismatic display at the Washington State (Puyallup) Fair Hobby Hall each September.
