The Colonial Coin Collecting Club (C4) has released the schedule of online education programs as part of its virtual 2020 Convention, to take place November 12 – 14, 2020. These programs will be fully accessible on Zoom. The programs will appeal to collectors of every level of experience with colonial coins and currency, from the curious beginner to those with colonial expertise.
