Coin Club Web Site Proposal

This site is a club for coin collecting enthusiasts and hobbyists of San Diego. The name of the club is Numismatic Fanatics of San Diego.

• The client desires a web site that advertises Numismatics Fanatics as a reliable and trusted club for coin collectors.

• Provide information on how to join the club, schedule meetings, and announce special events of interest to coin collectors.

• Provide site where coin collectors will feel secure sharing information about their hobbies via internet.

• The client hopes the site will to promote coin collecting as a hobby.

This site is primarily for enthusiasts and hobbyists who are interested in sharing information about their coin collections with other collectors, learning new information about the hobby and collectors that desire to trade with other club member to obtain coins for their collections.

A secondary audience of the site is investors and speculators who are interested in the intrinsic value of older coins which contain gold and silver.

Joe is a 33 year old working father who has been collecting coins since he was a young boy. He likes using the internet searching for the coins that he needs to complete his collection of Lincoln pennies which he started when he was in sixth grade. He does a lot of shopping online but is very cautious when making purchases from web sites other than major well know sites like Amazon and eBay. He is proud of his hobby and likes to show it to others as well as examining other people’s collections.

Although demographics indicate coin collecting is enjoyed mostly by male baby boomers and war generation collectors age 40+, lobbying by the American Numismatic Association which has resulted on long overdue changes to U.S. coins has resulted in a renewed interest in coin collection by younger audiences. Unfortunately there is increased emphasis on eliminating the U.S. penny which is the most commonly collected coin by beginners in the United States.

The clients are the elected leaders of the Numismatics Fanatics club.
