Late Breaking News "IS 2005 THE YEAR FOR THE GREAT COIN BOOM?"
The ACC/BHCC Publishes New Comprehensive Book: “Modern U.S. Coin Values”
1933 Washington Quarters & 1959 Wheat Cent reported with other new finds! In their efforts to promote the hobby of numismatics to the general public, the members of the ACC/BHCC have been busy compiling and editing a new book entitled "Modern U.S. Coin Values". Their new Guide Book details many varieties of coins that people may be able to search for in circulation, flea markets or in coin junk boxes. The book cautions beginners that it is "rare to find extremely valuable coins in circulation, but the experience of searching can be both fun and rewarding". It goes on to note that "the chances of finding coins of considerable value are far greater than winning the lottery" and "that thousands of such coins are found every year by seekers in the know". With the assistance of dozens of numismatist throughout the country, the ACC/BHCC has formed a Review Committee to compile pricing, mintage and population data pertaining to most modern U.S. coin issues, from 1932 to date. Thus far, members have gathered and confirmed some ground-breaking news pertaining to some scarcely-known varieties, such as a 1959 Wheat Cent substantiated by a Federal Marshall, five 1933 Washington Quarters confirmed by three professional numismatist, and the verification of several 1976-D Eisenhower dollars struck in silver, just to name a few. Although the book details mostly issues from 1932 to date, it features many varieties not found in any other current pricing guide. It also includes up-to-date evaluations of all earlier U.S. type coins, based not only on dealer feedback, but also collector's feedback at shows, auction houses and on the Internet. "One of the best features of the book, is that it gives estimated values in an unprecedented number of grade categories, 35 in total, including all mint state grades from MS 60 to MS 70. Sometimes nearly perfect coins can be had at the bank or even in circulation", Mr. Carter notes. “The ACC/BHCC is currently asking all readers for help in this project. ACC/BHCC needs feedback about any and all modern varieties that collectors might be familiar with, regardless of rarity or value, along with estimated values in as many grades possible. Pictures are very much needed also, and could be e-mailed to them at “bookproject@bhcoinclub.org” or sent to their street address found at “www.BHcoinclub.org”.

CLUB NEWS FOUR NEW FREE BENEFITS ADDED FOR ACC/BHCC MEMBERS
At their annual meeting on July 1st, 2002, the Board of Directors of the ACC/BHCC voted to include additional benefits for all new club members. According to Membership Chairperson Daniel Robertson, these benefits “will be worth their weight in gold, hundreds of times the low $18 annual dues.” The first additional benefit is through the cooperation of many of major advertisers in RCM, most of who have agreed to offer coupons to our readers in exchange for additional space in the form of money-saving coupons. This is a win-win advantage that advertisers as well as readers and members benefit from, since these coupons can save many dollars off the purchase of most of the coins and supplies offered by our advertisers. The second additional benefit will be members-only access to hundreds of pages of articles about U.S. coins on the ACC/BHCC website, www.bhcoinclub.org. Each member will be given their own private access number so they can view exclusive articles by well-known numismatist, updated pricing information on type coins, updated grading information such as a new grading chart on Bust Coins, illustrating at least six photos in each and every grade plus much more to be announced in the Winter issue of RCM. The third additional benefit is a free 30-word classified ad upon request in Rare Coin Magazine for each year of membership. This is over a $10 value alone. In other words, a one-year member can send in a free 30 word classified ad and have it published in our next quarterly issue. “Whether using classified ads, or display advertising, offering coins in a quarterly publication gives the advertiser three months of exposure for less cost than a one week or one month’s ad in other coin periodicals who may have less affluent readerships per capita than RCM”, notes Ms. Robertson. A five year member can send in a free ad for the next five issues (one free ad per issue), and a 10 year member can send in ads for the next 10 issues. All new life members can have one free ad in each of the next twenty issues. This represents over a $200 value, five years of free advertising in each quarterly issues for the next twenty seasons. Any additional words could be purchased for only thirty-five cents per word. The RCM classified ad form is on page 29 of this issue. The fourth free benefit given upon request with payment of membership dues is a fun beginners surprise package of miscellaneous coins that members can keep for themselves or give to interested children. Each surprise package will consists of 5 to 10 lower-priced coins donated by club members that will not be going to the Museum Fund due to duplication. The packages are designed to get people interested in all areas of numismatics and will include older U.S. coins, Tokens, Medals, Foreign coins and older Foreign Currency. One out of every ten packages will even include an ancient coin or older U.S. Currency, which is why these are such interesting surprise packages. People who don’t wish to become members can obtain surprise packages for only $3 each 10 for $25 or 100 for $195 postpaid, and all profits go to the ACC/BHCC Library Fund. Payments can be sent to: BHCC, 9903 Santa Monica Blvd., #951, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 _______________ Please visit us at www.bhcoinclub.org and be sure to join the ACC/BHCC to get your special pass for an e-Library full of useful information about collecting and investing.

The
ACC/BHCC Publishes 2005 Edition of
“Modern U.S. Coin Values”
Members of the
ACC/BHCC have been busy
compiling and editing a new book entitled "Modern U.S.
Coin Values". This new Guide Book details
many varieties not found in the Red Book or any other
“variety” book on the market.
It includes many unknown issues of coins that people may
be able to search for in circulation, flea markets or in coin
junk boxes. The book cautions beginners that it
is "rare to find extremely valuable coins in circulation,
but the experience of searching can be both fun and
rewarding". It goes on to note that "the
chances of finding coins of considerable value are far greater
than winning the lottery" and "that thousands of such
coins are found every year by seekers in the know".
For example, a genuine mint-made double-head quarter was
recently found and sold for $80,000. With the assistance of dozens of numismatist throughout
the country, the BHCC has formed a Review Committee to compile
pricing, mintage and population data pertaining to most
modern U.S. coin issues, from 1932 to date. Thus far,
members have gathered and confirmed some ground-breaking news,
such as a 1959 Wheat Cent substantiated by a Federal
Marshall, five 1933 Washington Quarters confirmed by three
professional numismatist, and the verification of several 1976-D
Eisenhower dollars struck in silver, just to name a few.
Although the book details mostly issues from 1932 to date,
it also includes up-to-date evaluations of all earlier U.S. type
coins, based not only on dealer feedback, but also
collector's feedback at shows, auction houses and on
the Internet. "One of the best features of the book,
is that it gives estimated values in a huge number of grade

The
ACC/BHCC Members Donate Coins
Pictured giving coins to students at Hamilton High School is ACC/BHCC outreach club member Willis Brown (4th from left). Partial and complete sets of coins were given by Jim Bowers, coin dealerships Pocket Change and CollectorsInternet.com. Members of the ACC/BHCC continue to demonstrate compassion and generosity by donating coins, books and other numismatic items to the ACC/BHCC Youth Outreach program. It could be reasonably argued that such kindness benefits the givers as well, since it helps foster a new generation of collectors for the hobby’s future. Since the program began in 1993, members of ACC/BHCC from all over the U.S. have contributed hundreds of coins. These gifts have been turned over to older students at such schools as Hamilton, Venice and Westchester High Schools, each located in underprivileged areas around South Central Los Angeles. Copies of ACC/BHCC Modern U.S. Coin Values will also be given when it rolls off the press later this year. More expensive items are donated to the ACC/BHCC Museum and Library Project 2010 fund, where students will be given free tickets to visit the ACC/BHCC Numismatic Museum and Library in Los Angeles. The goal is to have the museum and library open by 2010. So far this year, ACC/BHCC has $12,000 in coins and books promised towards the Museum and Library. Duplicate or low priced items are donated to local high school students. ACC/BHCC is asking all good people to contribute towards the Museum and Library Fund to help continue to promote the hobby. Gifts in the form of cash, coins or old numismatic books, auction catalogs or magazines are highly appreciated, and donors will be listed alphabetically in RCM and on a plaque inside the Museum and Library. Send gifts to: BHCC, 9903 Santa Monica Blvd., #951, Beverly Hills, CA 90212. Accounting for ACC/BHCC Library Museum Fund: Project 2010 Recent gifts:
