The door Prize, an ANACS Certified 1998-P Washington Quarter graded MS-64, was won by Dennis Williams. He was happy to win a prize but did not understand why anybody would want to slab a common clad quarter. The membership Prize, a slabbed NGX (NuGrade Service) MS-65 Florida Statehood Quarter was won by Mike Gentry. He was just happy to win something.

Board meeting held at the Chang Mai Thai Restaurant located next to the University Center. Meeting called to order at 6:40 PM by Club President Carl.
First order of business discussed was the October Coin Show. Tobin at Excalibur Sports is organizing a Collectables Show at the Northway Mall for Sat (Oct 13th) and Sun (Oct 14th). Table fees will be $40/table. Tables will be provided. Board discussed and approved go-ahead. This will be posted in our club's newsletter this month and also announced at our October 3rd club meeting. Interested members can contact Carl (#561-2275) to reserve their tables. The Board approved purchase of a $40 table as a club table for this show.
Board then discussed the club's 25th Year Anniversary Coin Set. Club will be 25 years old in March, 2013. Sets will be made by club member Mike Robuck's company, The Alaska Mint. Carl will check on cost for the obverse die that will be needed. The reverse side of the coins will use a generic die that can be provided by the Alaska Mint. Carl will also get an estimated cost for three coin set (Silver, Bronze, Nickel/Copper). More to follow.
Final agenda item discussed was club's October 3rd membership meeting. Club will supply pizzas, chips, and sodas for the meeting. Members asked to bring in any potluck items they wish to provide to augment the pizzas. Larry Nakata will give a presentation on a subject related to U.S. Obsolete Bank Notes
Board meeting adjourned at 7:30 PM....... Larry Nakata / Secretary / Anchorage Coin Club.
An Anniversary Coin Idea
My Club Anniversary coin design idea: Have a hand reaching down out of the sky with a coin between its thumb and forefinger to a city-view of Anchorage. Use a skyline of Anchorage because this is the Anchorage Coin Club and if you angle the view from over the south-east you can put 15th Ave. (where we have our meetings) in the middle.
That view could also get the mountains east of Anchorage, the inlet to the west, and far off in the north you can see Mt. McKinley. Then there is Sleeping Lady, the road to Seward, and the Alaska railroad. The hand shows how to hold a coin.
The coin in the hand is not necessarily taking or delivering a coin. It could be bringing a good coin into Alaska or it could be taking a bad coin like a fake from new collectors here,
Besides all these things city-view coins are just cool. And the hand worked in the Sistine Chapel.
