    I blame Mike and Matt for this purchase, but only half the blame. I have to admit I've wanted one for a while. I didn't jump in with both feet, I went low end but I still like having an example.

    And at the opposite end of the collecting world, I got this last week.

    Not quite Fairfax, but yes, there is a huge elongated cent factory in rural VA that makes them all. Those machines you see around the country just dispense them like regular vending machines.

    Yes, I bought it from the RCM at the Philadelphia show and it's struck thru. Only 500 were issued and this is #116 2012 ana.jpg

    The first one is interesting, Circus. Looks like the dies were hand cut.

    This is another Cupertino Coin Club medal marking their fourth annual meeting in 1974. Brass, C/A, 15.6 grms, 38mm. The central device on the obverse is Cupertino's Morian sculpture. Or something resembling it. A Morian is a battle helmet such as what the Conquistadors used to wear.

    I don't know if you can see it in the image but the center of the propeller decorative on the revese is four small diamonds that together make up one diamond. :)
