[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 7755084, member: 24633"]No, I've never attended an ANA Convention. Both of these medals are from the 3-medal sets that were issued only for the years 1969-1982. Each set contained a 38mm silver medal, a 38mm bronze medal and a 19mm bronze medal, all of which were supposed to be numbered. The 19mm medal sold only in the set, but not separately. I first fell in love with the 1969 set for the Philadelphia convention which was designed by Frank Gasparro and featured the likeness of Libertas Americana. It took me a few years, but with the help of some friends on the NGC Collectors Society, I finally found all 14 sets on eBay. Then, it took me a few more years to convince NGC to grade them. Ten of the medals (five silver and five bronze) were struck in high relief and required a thicker slab. [ATTACH=full]1328495[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
