Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 10/19/2013 12:29 am While on vacation this week in east TN I made a purchase of this coin/medal set at an antique shop: Close-ups of the silver proof medal (.999) and larger bronze medals: This ANA 86th Anniversary Convention set was sort of buried under some nasty looking Peace dollars in a display case. I was curious about it, as I had never seen one before. I could see part of the silver coin and the price tag of $29.00. I had already made my mind up that I was going to buy it because I really liked the design of the medals, but I did a quick search on ebay anyway. I found that one sold for $78.00 recently, as well as other sets going for between $75 and $100. These medals must be very thick as they are nearly the same thickness as the white inner acrylic core. I did some further investigating and found that the silver medal is one full ounce of pure (.999) silver. I think I did pretty good on this one. I'll probably look into buying other sets as well.

To tell you the truth, we were a little overwhelmed with the place, including Gatlinburg. There was so much to do and see. We're definitely going back in a couple of years to see some stuff that we missed, including the Dixie Stampede. I think my daughter would really like it. Report this Post to the Staff
fromms2244 Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 10/20/2013 1:45 pm I just got back from Gatlinburg a couple weeks ago. I love it up there and we try to go every other year. Wish I had visited that antique shop before you. That is a nice set at a fabulous price. Report this Post to the Staff
