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!

Thanks to Rick Schulz for speaking on the topic of "State Tax Tokens" at the March 4 meeting. Although we unfortunately didn't have time to show the ANA video on Grading Mint State U.S. Coins at the February 5 TLCC meeting, TLCC members can still borrow the video from the club library.
Congratulations, Rick! Congratulations to TLCC newsletter editor Rick Schultz, who has now received both PNNA and ANA awards! Rick received a PNNA Presidential Award, the first ever awarded, at the PNNA Annual Convention in Tukwila, April 13-15, 2007. Rick and the TLCC also received the ANA's outstanding club publication award in the e-newsletter category. Rick accepted this award at the ANA anniversary convention in Milwaukee. Why not join the TLCC and see what you're missing?

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.
