A penny for your thoughts is always good, but a rare nickel, dime or quarter could be really something.
A bigger and better Peterborough Fall Coin Show will be held this Sunday (November 15) at the Healthy Planet Arena, 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., with 16 dealers from across Ontario. Admission is $2, with kids under 12 admitted free.
Along with the chance to browse rare coins, bills, notes and tokens, Peterborough Coin Club members will be on hand to answer questions regarding items brought for evaluation.
Society member and spokesperson Rick Stankiewicz says the show is now held twice a year in response to a growing demand.
Stankiewicz says collectables of interest aren’t restricted to coins.
Stankiewicz adds there’s a huge social aspect to coin collecting and attending shows such as this.
The Peterborough Coin Club meets the last Monday of each month, 7 p.m., at Grace United Church on Howden Street with prospective new members welcome to attend. For more information about the club, visit https://www.facebook.com/PeterboroughCoinClub.
