History of the Crescent City Coin Club

Crescent City Coin Club was founded in 1960 and incorporated in 1962
 
The Crescent City Coin Club was incorporated as a non-profit organization under the laws of the State of Louisiana on November 15, 1962.

The Crescent City Coin Club has remained an active numismatic club, despite the founding and disbanding of 4 other numismatic clubs in the New Orleans metropolitan area.

It has sponsored coin shows since its founding in at least 6 different locations, each show a success.  The early shows were presented at the American Legion Hall on Royal Street in the famous French Quarter of New Orleans during the Mardi Gras season.  Later the club sponsored 2 shows a year.  Other show locations included the Fontainebleau Motor Hotel, Sheraton Hotel, Ramada Airport Motel, Quality Hotel, VFW Hall (Metry Post 6640), DoubleTree Hotel, and the Knights of Columbus Hall.

In its history, the Crescent City Coin Club has sponsored and presented the Louisiana Numismatic Association coins shows during the summer months.  We were the Host Club for the 1972 and 1981 Annual ANA (American Numismatic Association) Shows.  We hosted the 1994 ANA Spring Convention and the Blue Ridge Show held at the Marriott Hotel.  Most recently, we hosted the ANA National Money Show in 2013.

Our successful history can only be attributed to the interest and participation of our members over the long life of our club.  The future of the Crescent City Coin Club lies in the continuing interest and participation of its members.  May we continue for another 58 years!
