members through the study, acquisition, and exhibition of numismatic material; and to assist or encourage other worthy numismatic causes.

find you will be in Houston on the Third Thursday of the Month, then Please plan on joining us for the evening.  

The Greater Houston Coin Club meets at 6:30 p.m. every third (3rd) Thursday of each month.  
New Meeting location:  Houston County Community College, Eagle Room, at 1010 West Sam Houston Parkway.

The monthly meetings are preceeded by snacks and beverages. The formal meeting starts with a "Show and Tell" session where members show and
describe new or unique additions to their collections and explain the significance of them, followed by an educational presentation by a member or guest 
speaker and a brief business meeting.  Following the meeting there may be an informal auction of varied numismatic items conducted by club members.
