We look forward to celebrating this momentous achievement with our members! Thank you all for your continued support of the club!
]]>The summer 2015 issue of Curry’s Chronicle marks the Carson City Coin Collectors of America’s 10th year in existence. We have proudly published 34 issues of our award-winning journal (with this upcoming issue being #35), and have shared 325 articles with our members. For a 10-year old, I say this is quite an achievement!
We encourage anyone (regular contributors and newbies alike) to submit an article and/or a letter to the editor. Any length! We want you to have your place in our literary celebration. If you already rank on our list of article contributors, thank you! Add another submission on for good measure. Or, if you’ve never submitted a single word to the club, but you’ve always enjoyed being a silent C4OAer—this is your time to shine! Let us know about a collecting experience you’ve had regarding Carson City coins, or perhaps why you joined the club, or what you think about each issue of Curry’s Chronicle.
We know that with 34 issues under our belt, there are still thousands of topics related to the Carson City Mint and the coins produced there. Ever had a nagging question about how the mint operated? Send a letter to the editor and ask it! Ever wanted to share how your grandfather slipped a shiny “CC” silver dollar in your Easter egg hunt? Submit an article about how that event was the catalyst for your “CC” coin collecting hobby!
The deadline for submissions for the summer 2015 issue of Curry’s Chronicle is April 30, 2015. However, if you’re working on something you wish to include, but don’t know if you’ll have it ready in time, let us know—we may be able to hold the deadline open for your submission until the first week of May.
If you have questions about how to submit an article or letter to the editor (or its corresponding images), email me at info@ccccoa.com, and I would be happy to help you.
We look forward to publishing a very special, 10-year anniversary issue of Curry’s Chronicle. Thank you so much for your support of the C4OA, we are honored to be here to help spread the passion those little “CC” mintmarks bring to us.

]]>We are proud to say that this (34th!) issue of the journal is the kick-off to our year-long 10th anniversary celebration. That’s right, the C4OA is approaching it’s 10th birthday this summer, and we are very happy about how far we’ve come as a club. More info about this achievement can be found in the spring 2015 issue of Curry's Chronicle.
Along with the launch of our 10-year anniversary celebration, the spring 2015 issue marks the start of renewal season.

If you would like to help contribute to our 10-year anniversary celebration, please send us your article or letter to the editor submission.

Submissions can be sent via email to submissions@ccccoa.com, or by snail mail at CCCCOA, 5032 S. Virginia St., Reno, NV 89502.
Please send text submissions as Word documents, with 12-point Times New Roman font, and 1.5 line spacing. Original image files can be sent to our physical address (above), on CD, DVD, or flash drive.

Please have your text (article, letter to the editor, announcement, etc.) and image submissions sent in by Saturday, January 31, 2015.

If you were unable to attend the regional meeting this past Friday, you surely missed out. Club meetings are what C4OAers look forward to most, besides their beloved Curry’s Chronicle issues arriving in the mail.

He thanked them for their “politely written critiques [which had] rescued [me] from my ignorance in many places.” In spite of all his painstaking research and the high goals he had set for himself for accuracy, he still had much to discover—he called it his need to be “rescued from his ignorance.” He viewed it in a positive way.

In what looked like a major oversight, Stack’s Bowers Galleries, in its January 24, 2013 Americana auction catalog, omitted Rusty Goe’s name from the team of catalogers that created the company’s historic Battle Born auction catalog in 2012. Stack’s Bowers also failed to cite Rusty Goe for the commentary of his its cataloger used in the description of the 1876-CC twenty-cent piece in the 2013 Americana catalog.
The company issued a statement on its website and in an E-newsletter sent to everyone on its mailing list that admitted the oversight and recognized Rusty Goe’s contribution to the Americana catalog description, and to the success of the Battle Born auction catalog. Stack’s Bowers said it meant no disrespect to Goe.
]]>Their image accompanies an informative overview of the 27th issue of Curry’s Chronicle, the award-winning journal of the Carson City Coin Collectors of America. With the historic sale of the Battle Born collection of Carson City coins in the rearview, along with two stellar club meetings in August 2012, this issue packed a wallop for readers and Carson City coin enthusiasts.

]]>Stack’s Bowers Galleries to Auction Complete Set of Carson City Coinage — Only The Second Complete Set Ever Assembled — Including The Unique 1873-CC Liberty Seated No Arrows Dime
The Battle Born Collection Will be Presented at the Stack’s Bowers Galleries Official Auction of the ANA World’s Fair of Money in Philadelphia in August 2012
A complete set of Carson City Mint coins, including the unique
1873-CC Seated Liberty, No Arrows dime (shown), is scheduled
to be auctioned by Stack’s Bowers Galleries at the ANA’s World’s
Fair of Money in August. The set will be on display at the FUN
convention in Orlando, Fla., in January.
All of our C4OA members will be happy to hear that Southgate Coins assistant manager Maya Roberts gave birth to baby Embry on Monday January 18. This is Maya's first child. We wish her and her new daughter all the best.
Congratulations to Maya and Matt on this special addition to their family!
]]>The start time is 6:00 p.m.
The location is the Carson City Library, 900 N. Roop St., Carson City, NV.
The topic is “Harold M. Budd, Sr. – The Ambassador of Carson City Coin Collecting in the First Half of the 20th Century.”]]>
After literally months of planning schedules, coordinating volunteers, and publicizing the event, we are proud to announce that the 2009 Annual C4OA Meeting and Carson City Coin Symposium lived up to, and exceeded all expectations.]]>
Following is an ad that appeared in the July 2009 issue of The Numismatist to publicize the C4OA's Carson City Coin symposium scheduled for August 6 at the ANA's World's Fair of Money convention in Los Angeles. Special speakers include Bill Bugert, John McCloskey, Darrell Low and Rusty Goe.
]]>Rusty Goe, our president, built the site, knowing that our club was not able to afford such a luxury. Besides all his other duties, running Southgate Coins, writing articles, scheduling lectures, editing and printing Curry’s Chronicle quarterly, Oh, and finding some of the rarest Carson City coins on the planet, he sacrificed several months of his time to design and build a website for C4OA!
I (Marie) invite you to enjoy the new website. It has great features which are available, such as a news and articles page, images of some of the finest coins, and helpful links.
The C4OA website is linked with our blogsite, which has been in operation for several years, thanks to Otto Klay. The blogsite allows members to post news, comments, and coin images.
The new site also has a discussion board that allows members to discuss topics of interest. I hope these two features allow lots of enjoyment and camaraderie as a community of Carson City coin lovers.
This new website should give our club a real opportunity to share the exciting joy and passion of our great love of Carson City coins. We will need to have older members help new members to learn how to use these features so we can have maximum participation.
We give a hearty thanks to you, Rusty, for dedicating so much of your time and resources toward creating a platform for all of us to be a part of.
