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: <b>one-ounce silver prooflikes, priced at $14.95; 13,000 pieces</b>; 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.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]860334[/ATTACH] </p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b>1976 American Revolution Bicentennial </b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Deaconess Hospital Inc.</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>1 troy oz .999 Silver Medal</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><i>(gorgeous</i> toning!)</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Bought as silver round: $19.00</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]860335[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
