The Third Online TEC Auction is around the corner!
| Register today to attend the online auction! We will hold our third online auction via Zoom on Saturday, February 4, 2023, starting at 4:00 pm Eastern (which is 3:00 pm Central, 2:00 pm Mountain, 1:00 pm Pacific, and so on). If you want to attend, please email Terri now. We will email the Zoom link to ONLY those members who have registered to attend.
Where is the Zoom link for the auction? If you have registered, we will email you the Zoom link on the day before the auction, Friday, February 3, 2023. That way, it will be close to the top of your inbox when you go looking for it. Will there be time to chat with other collectors? Yes, we will start the Zoom meeting half an hour before the scheduled start of the auction and leave the meeting going after the auction for anyone who wants to chat. Meanwhile, we hope you and yours are safe and well. And, as always, thank you for being a TEC member. |

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, fellow elongated coin collectors!
As we say goodbye to 2022 and welcome 2023, it’s a great time to reflect on the past year and look ahead to the new one. As collectors, we’ve probably had our share of ups and downs, but one thing that never changes is our love for elongated coins.
Whether we’re adding to our collections, trading with other collectors, or simply admiring our favorite pieces, there’s something special about these unique and often historical items.
As we start the new year, it’s a great time to set some goals for our collections. Maybe you want to focus on a specific theme or time period, or perhaps you want to track down a particularly elusive coin. Whatever your goals may be, it’s always fun to have something to work towards.
So here’s to a new year, filled with opportunities to add to our collections and share our love of elongated coins with others. Happy collecting!
New & Retired Machines 11/1/22 – 12/1/22
Note: If anyone finds a city, park ETC site in PC that has a tan camera
