• Due to dramatically increasing COVID-19 risks in North Dakota and Cass Co. The 17th Annual Coin Show of North Dakota that was scheduled for 11/21/20 has been CANCELED.

ANA Governor Cliff Mishler talks with RRVCC exhibitors at the 60th RRVCC show.

60TH ANNUAL RED RIVER VALLEY COIN CLUB SHOW

• Was held Sat. and Sun. 1/25-26/20. We don't have a complete tally of attendance at this point, but it appears we had the highest attendance numbers in the last 10 to 15 years and we again had several new nembers join. Vendors indiacted the business was good. These observations indicate that coin collecting is alive and well in the Red River Valley.
• NGC created a "sample" slab to commerate the RRVCC's 60th annual coin show. A limited run of fifty 1956-D Lincoln Cents were encapulated and sold at the show. Thank you to Jason J. for his work on this project.
• ANA Governor Cliff Mishler is a member of the RRVCC. We awarded him the commemerative slab that matched his membership number. [Link]

• The 1000th Meeting celebration had great participation. Existing members displayed a variety of Fargo/Moorhead tokens as well as some of their favorite or unusual coins and tokens. Attendees ranged in age from teens to 90 years old. 
• Much of the conversation revolved around awareness of the club and our annual sponsored activities, as a result several new members joined.
