Welcome.

This is the website of the Worcester County Numismatic Society in Central Massachusetts. The WCNS is a not-for-profit coin club, and all are welcome. We have members from all over Massachusetts, and nearby in Connecticut.

We hold 10 regular meetings per year. Our members run the entire spectrum from the casual collector to the serious collector, of U.S., Foreign, and Ancient coins, plus currency as well. We also have an excellent Young Numismatists (YN) program. Please join us for a meeting and check us out!

Members of the WCNS were key in a number of activities at the New Hampshire Coin Expo in July.

• On Saturday the 30th, Club members Jack Haroian and Jack Kiley led the John Kittredge Young Numismatist Program, sponsored by NENA and the Kittredge Foundation. This FREE program was for all young numismatists and allowed the kids to take away many coins and other souvenirs as well as learn a little about the hobby. There was quite a good crowd on hand for the YN session, and this is important for the future of our hobby.

• Also, on Saturday, co-President John Frost presented an educational session entitled Collecting Patterns. The talk included a hands-on exhibit of numerous patterns.
