Does anyone have or collect these?
How many silver tokens were created for the 15th Anniversary? The website says a total of 650 were made but no mention of silver.

I could only find information on the 1997 silver membership
token but nothing regarding the 1982 silver tokens.



According to the website .........

The first EAC membership token was issued May 1, 1968. Metal Arts Company of Rochester, New York, struck 293 serially numbered pieces.
The engraver was James Nordquist. His initials "J. N." appear on the truncation of the bust. Piece number 293 was donated to the American Numismatic Society.
Later pieces 285 and 286 were donated to the American Numismatic Association.

In commemoration of our 15th anniversary in 1982, 650 EAC medallions were produced. Issue price was $5.50. The medallion was produced by EAC member G. Lee Kuntz of Masterpiece Medallions. The design is based on the 1798 S-187 large cent with two prominent obverse die breaks.

In 1992, A 25th Anniversary Medallion was struck in copper for general sale to members. A special edition in silver sold 130 copies.

A medallion was struck in 1997 to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of EAC.
The 500 pieces in copper were offered at $6 and 100 pieces in silver at $21.

From Penny Wise --

15th Anniversary
Oliphant reported on the successful striking of the EAC medals. A total of 650 were struck, including 15 in silver which have been reserved for future awards. He offered the club's thanks to Lee Kuntz. Lee had brought bezels and chains to the meeting, and several members were seen sporting their medallions as a new form of neckwear.

Received them today and they are pretty cool as I had no idea these are very close to a size of a Morgan dollar.
