The Combined Organizations Of Numismatic Error Collectors Of America is celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the1918/7-S Standing Liberty Quarter Overdate on a one-ounce silver bar offered in three versions! The bars feature the obverse of the 1918/7-S Standing Liberty Quarter to the left and a view of the flying eagle motif found on the reverse of the coin to the right. This bar also marks the 35th Anniversary of the club as noted on the lower right side of the bar. All bars are serial numbered and marked “One Ounce .999 Fine Silver” on the reverse.
The bars are available in three options including a regular 1oz silver bar with a very low mintage of 125, an enameled 1oz silver bar with black background enhanced with 24-karat gold on the coin designs (gold-select) with a mintage of 35 and a Canceled Die 1oz silver bar with a mintage of 35. The enameled/gold-select option was struck with a different reverse die to make it even more special. All bars are serial numbered with lowest numbers distributed first. Those who bought the 1955/55 Doubled Die silver bars in 2015 may obtain the same serial number(s) for this one if requested within the first two weeks of the offering.
CONECA’s Medals Program (which now includes bars) was the brainchild of its 2003 Board of Directors not only to celebrate its anniversaries and other events but as a way of raising funds for the club with the specific purpose of preventing a raise in membership dues.
In 2003 CONECA’s annual dues were $20 and it was demonstrated that they needed to be raised to $30 if the club was going to continue to exist. A compromise was hammered out with annual dues only raised to $25 with several Board Members committing themselves to projects to help defer the necessary funds to keep the club running without raising dues again the next year. To date, CONECA has never had to raise dues again, in large part due to the donations made from medals and/or bars sold in 2003, 2008, 2013 and 2015.
They will be available to members and nonmembers alike but members will get first grabs at the enameled/gold-select and cancelled die bars (which sold out in 11 days for the 1955/55 silver bar program three years ago). All these bars are of very low mintages and highly sought after by die-hard silver bar collectors so do not wait to order!
Prices are as follows: 1oz silver $65.00 to members or non-members; 1oz silver black-enameled background/gold-select $75.00 ($100.00 to non-members); 1oz Canceled Die $75.00 ($100.00 to non-member). Prices are postpaid for US orders. Foreign buyers should check with program coordinator, James Motley at jmotley@alpinecomputers for postage costs. Non-members may join CONECA for $25 annual dues ($50 for two-years) and buy bars at member prices. There will be a limit of one bar per person on the enameled/gold-select and cancelled die bars until after January 1st 2019 in order to give all members a chance to get one. Please advise the medals program coordinator if you will want more that one and he will contact you after January 1st if any are left over. There are no quantity restrictions on the purchase of regular silver bars but note that all 125 of the 1955/55 Doubled Die Cent Bars minted in 2015 sold out within 31 days of the offering so order early.
The purchases of these bars are a donation to the club and as such a portion may be tax deductible. Check with your accountant.
