WE ARE
a group of people with
special interests in the numismatics of ancient coinage. We meet
once a month in downtown Chicago to discuss topics in our
various fields of interest. The format for our monthly meetings
is interactive. We do not challenge members to prepare expert
presentations on a topic which they deliver to a passive
audience. Instead, individuals with some expertise in an area
are invited to moderate a group discussion so we can
stimulate one another in our thinking of any subject that comes
along. There is no telling where the conversation will go, since
members are free to bring in their own questions and ideas. Of
course, no one will be able to participate in all discussions
with equal ease, and there may be some individuals that prefer
to merely observe the conversation of others. You are invited to
come to any meeting and listen or participate in the discussion
as our guest. |

OUR HISTORY
The 2010 CICF meeting
marked the Ancient Coin Club of Chicago's ninth anniversary. The ACCC was founded by Chicago area coin collectors in 2001. The
club started with 10 people meeting at a restaurant. The Ancient
Coin Club of Chicago now has about 30 members with such noted
numismatists and coin dealers as Harlan Berk, Curtis Clay, Phil
Davis, and Mark Wieclaw.

Coin Club member Curtis Clay spoke about the coins of
Magnentiun, Decentius, and made an argument that most
history books have the wrong date for the revolt of
Nepotian. The talk took place at the 2010 Chicago
International Coin Fair on Saturday, April 24.
