The Chicago Coin Club, in conjunction with Whitman Publishing, has released a special edition Red Book (A Guide Book of United States Coins). This special edition Red Book is just one of many ways the club is celebrating their 100th anniversary of being chartered as an official organization in 1919.
As with all Red Books being dated with the following year’s date, this special edition book is the most recent 2020 dated book that was released in April 2019.
The Chicago Coin Club Red Book has a custom cover with the club logo and “Anniversary Edition 1919 – 2019.” The reverse cover lists the club’s Latin motto “Docendo Discimus,” meaning “We Learn By Teaching,” a reference to the educational aspect of the club’s programs, speakers, and numismatic show-and-tell at each meeting. Also listed on the back cover is the club’s objective:
To pursue numismatic knowledge through the study and research of coins, currency, medals, tokens, and other related items and the sharing of this information through monthly meetings, dialogue, and the publication of literature.
