MNS Meetings

Meeting are held at the Mansfield Public Library 54 Warrenville Rd. (Rt #89) Mansfield Center.

Meetings are scheduled on the 4^th Mondays of Sept, Oct, Nov (no Dec), Jan, Feb, March & April.

The Mansfield Numismatic Society was Organized in September, 1972

Because of the outlook for rain and snow Monday evening and the fact that we were going to order pizza for everyone we feel it will be best to cancel the meeting ahead of time and put it and the activities including the auction off until the February meeting. We can try again at that time. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

During winter be mindful of the weather. Meetings will be cancelled if there is threat of appreciable snow! We will try to email all members but if in doubt call John at 860-429-6970 or e-mail at the address above! Check your e-mail for cancellations.

Looking Ahead

Looking ahead... Thirty two members were in attendance for the November meeting showing that there still is good interest in coin and paper money collecting as the worst of Covid seems to be behind us,.. maybe... possibly? The treasurer reported $6059.43 balance in the check book. Just given to him at the Nov. meeting was a refund check from Taylor Rental for $1807.00, a refund from pre Covid days (2020) for rental of tables and chairs for the annual coin show that was missed due to Covid. This figure will be added to the check book balance soon. There are 2-3 much smaller refunds to yet be reclaimed.

Last Month

The program last month was a PowerPoint program on Willimantic Civil War Token, Tavern Tokens and Store Cards. These tokens, etc were in use starting during the end of the Civil War and up through the 1940’s and in some cases these tokens may still be in use. These were usually given out in place of small change in places like taverns, restaurants clothing stores, etc. But, in order to use the value of the token it had to be spent in that establishment. The rarest of the tokens shown was a Dr. Keiteridge Civil War era token which if one could be found would sell in the range of $3000-5000 today.
