Planchet Submissions

Submit an Article to the Planchet

 

The Edmonton Numismatic Society (ENS) Newsletter

The Planchet is the Edmonton Numismatic Society’s (ENS) newsletter. It is published seven times per year. Each issue has original articles written by club members who aim to entertain and inform readers about coins and their coin hobby.

Several club members write regularly for The Planchet; Wayne Hansen, Marc Bink, and Wayne Jacobs provide us with a steady stream of high quality and interesting content. Our club relies on member contributions to keep the publication fresh and alive.

We therefore invite you to participate! Share your knowledge and enthusiasm for your collecting interests by writing an article on any numismatic subject that interests you. You don’t need to step out of your comfort zone. You could write about what you know and what you think is fun, or you could broaden your knowledge by further investigating a particular coin or a special area of your collection.

Write an article as simple as one page, or a longer article up to five or six pages if you like. Original images are welcome, or we can help find pictures for your article. Don’t worry if you think you are not a good enough writer. Make the submissions as concise and readable as you can, then our editors can add finishing touches as required.

Our club has a Volunteer Recognition Program. If you write a Planchet article, you will receive a Silver Maple Leaf coin at the end of each year in a the category for Planchet volunteer contributors. This award is in addition to other volunteer awards (Silver Maple Leafs) you may receive. You will also become eligible to win a half-sovereign size gold coin through our annual volunteer Go for the Gold coin draw, in the Planchet category.

The Royal Canadian Numismatic Society (RCNA) has recognized The Planchet as the best Canadian club newsletter for 2010 and every year from 2015 through 2022. The RCNA also reviews club articles and an award is given annually to the author of the best numismatic article published in a local Canadian coin club newsletter. One of our Planchet authors has received the RCNA Literary Award five times.

To reach The Planchet editor, use this contact form to find out how to submit your article(s) or send enquires.
