On the third Sunday of each month Mutt & Jeff share a table at the
Fort Lauderdale Coin and Stamp Show
They are both active with the club and Jeff helps setup the show.
Mutt is the Treasurer and pays all the bills for the club.
They each put out part of their collection and try to sell the duplicates to the public. The show opens at 10 AM - 3 PM
Mutt scouts around to see if there is anything new of interest.
Today he found a few numismatic items to research and add to his web site.
