Poll: For how many numismatic-related clubs/subscriptions/societies do you currently pay dues/fees?

I think that this forum represents an extremely active cross-section of the numismatic community. I would like to get an idea how many subscriptions, clubs, societies, etc. people here pay dues or fees.

I am currently a member of the ANA, Liberty Seated Collectors Club, EAC, NBS, St. Louis Numismatic Association, and CSNS and subscribe to Coin World and am a member of the PCGS Collectors Club. That counts for eight subs/dues.

How about you?

    ANA life member, so I only pay if I want to.

    FSNC, NLG, BCCS are the others. I plan to join EAC at some point.

    I would count that since you paid for it. Who knows? The way the finances are going, they may have assessments or cash calls in the near future. image

    ANA - I'm not a "happy camper" member - I pay dues because of the business

    The rest are because I have a collector interest:

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I have a junior membership for my son, and it is due again. I paid 3 years last time and will do so again.

    My only remaining subscription is to Numismatic News. When renewal time comes in a few months I will probably let it lapse unless I can get a really cheap subscription deal.

    PCGS, ANA, OCC... Maybe a couple of subscriptions. I'm sure a couple have lapsed.

    I just joined the Parker coin club in Greenville, SC.

    I've been a member of the Wooster, OH coin club, the Central FL CC, FUN, and the Frederick, MD CC. As you can tell, I move rather often.

    NBS and EAC publications - I receive the ANA magazine whatever it is called so I must have a subscription though
    I will not renew the ANA subscription as I personally find, and I assume I am a minority of one, the publication vapid.

    I would like to join the John Reich Society for their publication.
