The Montgomery County Coin Club will meet Tuesday, July 11, 2023, at 7 p.m. at the Margaret Schweinhaut Senior Center, 1000 Forest Glen Road, Silver Spring.
The July MCCC program will be a member Summer Bourse Nite where participating members can set a table display of numismatic or collectible items they are willing to sell, trade, or simply exhibit. Other members may circulate amongst the bourse tables for browsing and transactions. The bourse will run from 7:30pm to 8:25pm (which includes the refreshment break period of 8:10pm to 8:25pm).
