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. Although many of our members are experienced collectors, beginners are encouraged to join the SCC and participate in all of our club activities.

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. (See the merger page on the new website for more information and photos from 2003 and 2023.) This change took effect in January 2023, 20 years after the merger. For current club information, you should use the new domain name, seattlecoinclub.org, which is under development, but almost complete. Most content has been removed from the SNS website which you are viewing now.

Wooden Nickels for Fair

Happy Semiquincentennial! We’re pleased to announce that the Seattle Coin Club and the South Hill Coin Club, in cooperation with the PNNA, will offer wooden nickels (designs depicted above – the blue design is the common reverse) at the Washington State Fair.

Washington State (Puyallup) Fair. The PNNA will have a table in the Hobby Hall for the entire duration of the Fair again, September 4-27, 2026. See the PNNA website Fair page for more information. The PNNA sponsors the annual coin exhibit, with assistance from several local coin clubs including the SCC. No volunteer is knowledgeable about all aspects of numismatics — if your question isn't answered or if you are unable to attend the Fair, please e-mail your question to info@pnna.org, and it will be directed to a local expert. The PNNA's Hobby Hall coordinator is Rick Schulz.
