Welcome to the Society for United States Commemorative Coins!

The Society for United States Commemorative Coins (SUSCC) is a group of collectors and dealers who share a common interest in the commemorative coins of the United States. SUSCC members collect the coins and related material (e.g., holders, advertising pieces, books, medals, etc.) of the traditional series of commemoratives (1892 to 1954), the modern series (1982 to date) and the circulating series (1976 to date).

SUSCC is dedicated to the compilation and sharing of knowledge about US commemorative coins and to the promotion of the collecting of these fascinating celebrations of American history.  To help guide the organization, SUSCC has developed mission and vision statements:

Mission Statement
To help maximize the knowledge and appreciation of United States commemoratives among collectors, dealers and the general public.

Vision Statement
To be the leading source of trusted information and education regarding United States commemoratives, the leading supporter of collectors of the series and the leading advocate of US commemoratives within the hobby.


Membership Benefits
All members receive The Commemorative Trail, the official journal of SUSCC. Each issue is filled with informative stories about all aspects of commemorative collecting, as well as collecting tips and investing insights that can help maximize the enjoyment of your collection.

SUSCC holds membership meetings at several large regional and national coin shows each year, including the

  • American Numismatic Association (ANA) conventions
  • Florida United Numismatists (FUN) show
  • Baltimore Coin and Currency conventions

Each meeting includes a SUSCC update, an educational program and member door prizes. Each meeting also provides the opportunity to meet fellow commemorative collectors and for the sharing of hobby adventures!
