2022 C4 BALTIMORE HAPPENING INFORMATION
RESERVE YOUR PLACE
There will be Four Happening Events at this year’s C4 Convention one each for 1) Colonial Currency/Paper Money; 2) Vermont Coinage; 3) New Jersey Coinage, and 4) Connecticut Coinage. These events will take place Friday evening starting at 7:30 PM in Camden I, across from the bar on the second floor of the Sheraton Hotel in Baltimore. All C4 members are welcome to participate subject to available space. There will be 10 chairs at each table (1 table for each event). Members must contact the event leader of the Happening table of interest in advance to secure a seat at the table. It is first come first serve. Food (Pizza) will be provided by the Club at around 7:15 PM, coffee and water will be provided in the room, with other beverages available for purchase at the nearby bar. All four events will take place simultaneously so you must choose which one you want to be involved in. For security purposes, only those actively involved will be permitted in the room. Participants are asked to not bring extraneous numismatic items and to not leave their coins or paper money unattended.

The Happening will cover the following:
1) Vermont Ryder-Richardson varieties RR-18, RR-26, RR-28, RR-29, and RR-33
These varieties exhibit a major diagnostic “rim-to-rim” die break on every known specimen – they are a fascinating study of early die failure. Please bring examples of these varieties, regardless of condition, to the event for comparison and discussion. You need not bring every variety to participate.
