If you’ve got a question about coins, and you don’t know who else to ask… you’re best bet is to go to a local coin dealer or a coin show.
Can’t find one of those to meet your needs? Then your next bet is to contact one of the local coin clubs in your area.
Coin clubs are organized groups that meet semi-regularly to discuss the latest about coins, as well as to buy/sell/trade coins with one another.
Tips For Contacting Coin Clubs
While a simple email with a question about your coin, sent to one of the leaders in the club might get a reply to your coin question. Chances are, your email will probably go unanswered.
Instead, you will have better luck getting your coin questions answered if you try to establish a relationship with at least one member of the group first.
That might mean simply asking about upcoming coin shows, asking about the club’s meeting dates, or requesting that information about the club be sent to you. Then, you’d want to follow-up with any questions you might have.
Keep in mind, for detailed answers to your questions about coins, you will need to attend one of their club meetings. I’ve heard that coin clubs are very welcoming to new and prospective members, so don’t sweat it.
