CONVENTION ATTENDEES…

This is the tentative schedule for the C4 Convention at the time it was submitted to your editor. Please double check the schedule and room locations when you arrive at the hotel.
C-4 Vermont Happening: We are holding a Vermont “Happening” on Friday November 20, 2009 at 1:30PM during the C-4 Convention. Please bring all your varieties to share with your fellow C-4 Members. Jack Howes will be photographing examples for a new set of Vermont Plates being assembled. We are particularly interested in die states, variety and/or condition rarities and any other unusual Vermont pieces.
Students of the Counterfeit British Halfpence and Farthings will take note that there is a study group meeting at 5:30 on Friday afternoon in Carver Salon III. The topic for discussion and study is about “Mules”… Those coins with impossible dates – coins with GEO II obverses and Geo III reverse dates, and vica versa. Please bring any and all you have for study and a possible publication.
At 12:30 Saturday afternoon, there will be a Colonial Happening where the object of discussion, study and photography will be the Camel head NJ Coppers with undertypes. These are the Maris 56-n, 57-n and 58-n. Whether you have one or a hundred, please plan to bring them with you for study at this event.
Although there is not a formal study on the topic, Syd Martin will be present at the convention and if any have examples of Rosa Americana coinage that Syd has not seen, please bring them with you so that the eventual publication of his book will be as thorough and accurate as possible. Again, if you have just one, or a hundred, please bring them along for Syd to study and possibly photograph.
That being said, if you have any coins that you have questions about, interesting planchets or dies

Ok Friends,
This is a preliminary Schedule, subject to change. So please double check the timing and location of events at the convention. This is as accurate as I can be two weeks ahead of time.
All events are to be in Carver Salon III at this point in time, so there’s no need to leave the main hotel for any events. Carver Salon III is on the Mezzanine Level, the same as the restaurant. This room is available from 4:30 until the C4 Reception starts at 8:30 on Thursday, in case anyone wants to make use of it.
You’ll also notice that there is not a NJ Copper Symposium this year before the educational events, but rather a State Copper Symposium scheduled as part of the educational events. This was placed last so that if it ran overtime, it would not interfere with another speaker.
I’m sure you’ve also noticed that David Bowers is our featured speaker and starting the evening’s events. David is not restricted to a specific time frame and the following events will start when his is done.
On Friday afternoon there will be a public dedication of an historic marker at the site of the Boston Mint, where Hull & Sanderson struck the MA Silver coinage. It will start PROMPTLY at 3:30 and last about 15 minutes. Please plan to be there for this historic event.
Your C4 Officers, committees and volunteers have made this all possible. Please take advantage of everything provided.
Please let me know if you find any errors with this schedule so I can correct it for the Convention Program.
