Hey guys,
A random thought came to my mind, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I am curious what numismatic clubs all of you are in. Now, of course if you are part of a local club, I totally understand if you don't list that to keep your privacy. But yeah, I am just curious what you guys are in. As a side note, if you are a life member or fellow or some other special position, it would be awesome if you could include that.
Here are the clubs I am in.
ANA
ANS (1st year from Joel Orosz)
NBS
PNNA
EAC
CSNS (1st year from Bruce Perdue)
ILNA (1st year from Bruce Perdue)
TEC
I would love to best from you!

Wow! You joined the ANA a while ago! I also joined the EAC recently! To be exact, I think it was late fall 2016.

Recently joined the following: ANA, EAC, JRCS. I'd recommend all three. I might join C4 as well, just haven't yet.
I've never had the inclination to join a club. Collecting over 50 years now and never joined one. Have had several members of the local coin club, including the long time club president, as patients but just never pulled the trigger to show up at a meeting.
Collecting can be fun without competition or need to socialize over them.

In the 'on the go ' lifestyle of today, never really made the time to join a club.

I don't even remember all of them I just pay the dues when the bills come
But since I'm the president of the Numismatic Association of Southern California (NASC), I know I'm a member of that one for sure!!
**If anyone wants to join NASC (which includes a print subscription to the award-winning The California Numismatist quarterly magazine), let me know and I'll pay half of your first year dues (normally $20/year). **
You can see more about NASC and our TCN publication here:

Two gun clubs.. no coin clubs.... Cheers, RickO
I may not remember them all but here is an attempt.
ANA, ANS, JRCS, BHNC, CSNS, LSCC, EAC, C4, NBS, NLG, CNA, FUN, ISNA. Each is definitely worth theTime, effort and expense of membership.
Like Mikey, try it you'll like it!
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
ANA, ANS, LSCC, NBS, MCA, C4, EAC, NLG, CSNS, FUN, Chicago Coin Club, Rittenhouse Society, and probably some others I forgot.
_I am curious what numismatic clubs all of you are in. _
ANA, ANS, NBS, NLG, LM JRCS, EAC, LSCC, TAMS, LM CWTS, NTCA, CTCC, FUN, CSNS, many of these for 25 to 30 years now. I've sure learned a lot over the years, and have met a lot of great and knowledgeable collectors!
The first club I joined was the Liberty Seated Collectors Society (LSCC), I recall in 1983. A dealer from St. Cloud Minnesota told me about it and mailed a membership application to me after a show. I've been grateful to him for over 30 years!
I am the current Treasurer of the John Reich Collectors Society (JRCS / early silver), and on the board of directors for the Numismatic Bibliomania Society (NBS / Numismatic Literature).
Many of these clubs have websites if anyone is interested in membership or learning more. Here are a few:
http://jrcs.org/
http://www.coinbooks.org/
http://www.lsccweb.org/
Most of the clubs and organizations publish a Journal of some type multiple times a year.
