Title: WTTF/WTB: '09 Summer Seminar silver tokens
Post by: edix on July 18, 2009, 03:57:04 PM

I'm looking to obtain any silver versions of the tokens struck during
ANA summer seminar this year made by Joe Paonessa and George Cuhaj.
I have similar small private mint items available to trade, or coins in
trade or will purchase.

Thanx!

Nice to hear that there is still a coin club in Detroit. Remember the old saying: Will the last person to leave Detroit, please turn out the lights.

Yes, the ANA Summer Seminar has just been renamed the Florence Schook School of Numismatics. This is part of the structural changes the newer ANA board has been initiating.
I attended Summer Seminar last year and would recommend that any collector at any level attend, for it is a lifetime rewarding experience.
Joe Paonessa and George Cuhaj ran minting classes and demonstrations this summer, including hand striking and screw press operation. They also had other metal shop tools on hand, like a metal strip roller and a hole punch for making blanks.
It seems that what I am looking for are the silver pieces that were hand struck, ancient Greek style. But only those who attended summer seminar are likely to have them.
