The Glendale Coin Club celebrates its 50th Anniversary
with
an Elongated Coin set
The Glendale Coin Club (California) celebrated its 50th Anniversary (1959-2009)
during its monthly meeting, held on March 13th, 2009. The club marked this
special event with a custom-designed Elongated Coin set.
The coin was designed by the Club's President, Oded Paz. It was engraved and
rolled by Brad Ream of Rockville, IN.
Only 100 cents were rolled on 1959 Copper Cents + 100 cents on regular copper
cents.
A special edition of only 20 sets were made on all available U.S. coins. The
set includes the 1959 and copper Cents, Nickel, Dime, Quarter, Half Dollar and
Presidential Dollar. All coins have stained backs, showing the reverse side of
the coin (except for the 1959 Cent, which shows the obverse, with the year).
You can purchase the two-Cent set for $2.50 (postpaid) and the special coin set
for $20 (postpaid), while they last.
For more information and placing your order, please contact Oded Paz at
