San Francisco Coin Club to issue a medal for ANA convention featuring the Granite Lady

The San Francisco Coin Club is celebrating the return of the American
Numismatic Association convention to San Francisco by issuing a medal
set portraying the second San Francisco Branch Mint of the United
States. The order form and a picture of the medal may be found at
http://exonumia.homestead.com/files/SFCC_Medal2.pdf

The medal, designed by Michael Wehner, portrays the Mint building at
Fifth and Mission Streets affectionately known as "The Granite
Lady". Closed by the Federal Government in 1994, the building is
currently undergoing an extensive renovation. Two museums and
commercial space are planned. The American Money and Gold Rush Museum
will be housed on the ground floor, including the old vaults. The
Museum and Historical Society of San Francisco will occupy the first
floor. The logo of the San Francisco Coin Club is pictured on the
obverse. Proceeds from the sale of this medal set benefit the San
Francisco Coin Club. Minted in Silver and Bronze, the medal set is
offered for US$25.00 as a set only. Please add US$3.00 for shipping, if
required. Medals will be ready in mid-July 2005 in time for the
convention. Advance orders must be received by July 2005. You may
pickup at the convention by going to the SFCC table in the "Local
Club" section. For additional information contact the SFCC, PO Box
880994, San Francisco, CA 94188-0994 or see the website below. Checks
payable to the "San Francisco Coin Club".

Oh, Michael, I hope nobody from the Franchise Tax Board monitors this
forum.

Nice medal, though.
