Topic This Month:

Mini-Bourse

This month we are hosting a Mini-Bourse; members of our sister clubs throughout San Diego County are warmly invited to attend and purchase items. Mini-Bourse selling is limited to INSSD members, who may set up tables to display and sell inventory directly to fellow collectors. Tables will be provided for sellers.

After careful consideration, the usual accompanying auction will not be held because past participants found it of limited value.

Whether you're a seasoned numismatist or just beginning, this event is an excellent chance to connect with the community, discover new additions for your collection, and trade with fellow collectors.   Please join us for an evening of fellowship and productive exchange, and feel free to bring a friend
