April 2026 - South Suburban Coin Club - The Tribute Penny

Dave Francis of Artful Investments gave a great talk on the tribute penny.  These are the dinarius from the time of Jesus and Ceasars Tiberius and Augustus.

Bill Rosenblum passed away.  Donations can be made to The Holocaust Museum or Alzheimer's Foundation.  He was a founding member of the DAWN Club.

The Tribute Penny - Biblical verse Matthew 22:21 "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God."

Controversial in part due to commandment against graven images.

Tiberius (14-37 AD) - Lugdunum Mint - $750 - $1200

Augustus - $500-$1000

I won one of the raffle prizes.  (2) Mercury Dimes - 1945-S with full bands worth about $10 each; melt about $5.50 each
