Club doubles membership
The Black Hills Coin and Stamp Club of South Dakota announced that it has doubled its membership in the last year, going from 20-25 members last August to a current total of almost 50. The club attributes this growth to the adoption of new bylaws and show rules as well as an aggressive membership drive. Its initiative of offering collecting guidance and free appraisals for the general public helped to raise awareness of the hobbies and interest in participation, according to the club.
