From the CSNS Website:

The "Golden 50th Anniversary Convention" took place in Overland Park, Kansas, April 20-23, 1989. A medal design contest was held to commemorate the 50th year of Central States. Seventy-five designs from thirty individuals were submitted, and the winning obverse design was the work of Scott R. Blazek of Crowley, Louisiana. Hermke Timm from Park Ridge, Illinois, designed the reverse. The two designers divided the $1,000 award. Medals produced at SilverTowne Mint in Winchester, Indiana, were: one-ounce silver prooflikes, priced at $14.95; 13,000 pieces; numbered silver proofs, 1,300 pieces @ $24.95; and a two-piece, gold and silver, cased set, with a mintage of 130 sets priced at $525. Additionally, V. H. Blackinton of Attleboro Falls, Massachusetts, produced large three-inch, 8 ounce, silver and bronze cased high relief art medals with mintages of 130 and 500 and priced at $129.95 and $34.95 respectively. Collectors also were offered a super special five-piece set consisting of the large bronze and silver, as well as one-ounce gold, silver and bronze specimens for only $735. Actual mintages were limited to orders received prior to December 31, 1989. All of the medals were formally released at the 50th anniversary convention in Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City.

A winner, for sure!!

 

Just bought this nice barber slabbed in an ANACS slab for $19.00 dollars.

 

Well, I hinted at this in an earlier post - just arrived today as advertised. Not a bad pickup at $28 shipped:

1941 S "Large S" Jefferson Nickel
NGC MS66 (unattributed)​

This is now my third MS66 of this variety (to go with my NGC MS67, NGC MS66, PCGS MS66, and ANACS MS65.) Still hoping for a FS MS68 to come my way haha

 

Sweet, nice cherrypick!

 

I wanted to see how this could be photographed, so I spent under $10 to find out.



The seller said “I recently came across a few of these BU/AU Mercury Dimes stored in an old envelope and to my surprise what you see in the picture is what I pulled out!”

 

Another iridescent toned 1942-S Jefferson War Nickel: $11.51

 

Traveling and chanced an antique shop... for once, they had some real coins!

$15 - 1928-S

I bought this for the CC look and picked it out of a set they had there, the guy quoted me that and I didn’t think twice about it. Left my phone in the car so I couldn’t check the guide, but I think I did pretty good here... any thoughts on the grade?

 

I thought this was cool, I paid 17 dollars for this 1844 Seated Liberty Quarter.

 

Great coin! Besides some hairlining on the reverse it looks like a great coin for the price. Love the circcam look.

 

On the nose..

 

Whoa. That's way cool. Will a TPG slab it? Lol the date is like a bandaid that peeled off.

 

*Drool* The blued steel on that Merc is soooo sexy.

 

That toning looks suspiciousI- is that toning or PVC damage? I'm alarmed at the green color.

 

I thought the exact same thing. Looks more like it was dipped and retoned in hand but I could be wrong. Maybe I’ll throw it in some acetone.

Edit- as a matter of fact I’ll go do that now and report back a bit.

PS- my iMac randomly resurrected itself.

 

Yeah I'd try to acetone it just in case.

And yay! That's a relief, so you can spend your bonus cash on coins, nor for a new laptop! Lol

 

Haha, yeah. My wife was like “what did you do to fix it?”

“I never stopped believing.”

Then I broke out into the Journey song.

Heh.

 

Gotta love the crApple products.
