The Tacoma-Lakewood Coin Club (TLCC) is a vibrant local coin club serving the South Puget Sound region, including the cities of Tacoma and Lakewood. The TLCC was founded in 1988 by the merger of the former Tacoma Coin Club and the former Lakewood Center Coin Club. The TLCC welcomes all numismatists — persons who study, collect, or deal with coins, paper money, tokens and medals.
The TLCC is proud to present tlcc.info, our home on the World Wide Web! This site is updated at least monthly to bring you accurate and up-to-date information about numismatics in the Tacoma area. TLCC members are also available to help answer your questions about numismatics. Please don't hesitate to ask us a question or to contribute information for possible use on this site!

No July meeting! – The TLCC will have no July meeting this year. (The summer social held in previous years was cancelled this year due to declining attendance.) We'll see you in August! It's Over! We hope you didn't miss out on some exciting events, including the ANA National Money Show in Portland, Oregon (March 13-15, 2009), which a number of TLCC members attended! This show was preceded by a "Pre-Show" run by Dave Schmidt March 10-11 near the Portland Airport, and by the TLCC's own coin show March 7-8 at the King Oscar Convention Center in Tacoma. Recent Meeting Programs: The June 2 meeting program was "Sales Tax Tokens" by Rick Schulz.
The April 7 meeting program was given by Steve Fisher from the Federal Reserve Branch Bank in Renton. (Some TLCC members also had the opportunity to tour the Fed the same week.) The March 3 meeting program was "Anything But Coins." (Members were asked to bring a show-and-tell item relating to a non-numismatic hobby.) Ken Fialkowski spoke about "How to grade currency, both U.S. and World" at the February 3 club meeting. Rick Schulz informed us about "Canadian Colonial Tokens" at the January 6 meeting.
Thanks to two of our summer grant recipients, Gary Wilson and Rick Schulz, for reporting on their experiences traveling to Toronto, Ontario Canada to attend the Torex® Coin Show.

What is our charter?
— Per the TLCC bylaws, Article II, Section 1,
"The purpose of this club is to promote interest in numismatics, through a sound
program of education and fellowship, as a non-profit association." In
doing so, the TLCC contributes to the mission of the
Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association
(PNNA) to "promote, extend, and protect the
interests of numismatists and numismatic activities throughout the Pacific
Northwest and to foster and encourage the study of numismatics in all its
forms."
What do we do? — In addition to
maintaining this web site, the TLCC publishes a
monthly newsletter, has monthly meetings, holds
two annual coin shows, and promotes numismatics
through special programs, activities and awards.
TLCC members participate in the numismatic display at the Puyallup Fair Hobby
Hall each September.
