EAC is more than just a club—we are a community. The Sunshine Committee helps us celebrate life’s milestones and support one another through difficult times. We recognize weddings, new babies, major accomplishments, the passing of members, and send get well cards to those who are ill.
We rely on our members to share news about fellow collectors. If you know of a life event worth recognizing, or if you’d like to help spread a little sunshine by volunteering with the committee, we’d love to hear from you!
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Early American Coppers relies on member generosity to preserve and study Early American copper coins. Whether donating today or planning a legacy gift, your support helps safeguard this important part of our history.
