Purpose & Objectives
The Greater Houston Coin Club is organized exclusively for educational purposes, and in the furtherance of this purpose, to promote the study of numismatics through educational and scientific means. Its objectives are: to advance numismatic knowledge through educational, historical, and scientific means; to assist in bringing together persons interested in numismatics; to promote greater popular interest in numismatics; to aid its members through the study, acquisition, and exhibition of numismatic material; and to assist or encourage other worthy numismatic causes.
Visitors are welcome at the GHCC's monthly meeting. If you are interested in what we do, or would like to try us out, or if you are from out of town and 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. Its meeting place is in Room R21 of the St. Luke's United Methodist Church, 3471 Westheimer, Houston, Texas 77027
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.
St. Luke's United Methodist Church is located at 3471 Westheimer between Edloe and Buffalo Speedway. This is in the River Oaks/Upper Kirby District area of town, just west of the Montrose. Traveling to St. Luke's, the most accessible freeway is the Edloe or Buffalo Speedway exit off the Southwest Fwy., Highway 59. St. Luke's is roughly 3/4ths of a mile north of these exits.
The GHCC's newsletter is called "The Double Shift" (for the "double struck" Lincoln one cent piece). The delightful insights of the numismatists of The Greater Houston Coin Club are presented for the current members of the club, and other coin club affiliates on an exchange basis around the country. All current club members in good standing will receive The Double Shift. If you would like a free copy of "The Double Shift", please contact us at the above listed address.
