1978 Medal 62nd Convention C.S.N.A Brass

Coin Details

Description

This 1978 brass medal commemorates the 62nd Convention of the California State Numismatic Association. The C.S.N.A. continued its tradition of issuing convention medals for each annual gathering, creating an unbroken series that documented the organization's sustained vitality. By 1978, the C.S.N.A. had been hosting annual conventions for over six decades, making it one of the most consistently active state numismatic organizations in the country. The brass composition follows the C.S.N.A.'s standard practice for convention medals, balancing affordability with durability. The late 1970s were a dynamic period in the coin market, with precious metal prices rising sharply and investment interest in coins growing alongside traditional collecting activity. C.S.N.A. conventions during this era offered large bourse floors where dealers from across California and beyond displayed their inventories, and educational programs that helped collectors navigate the increasingly sophisticated marketplace. The 62nd convention medal is part of a long-running series that is collected as a set by C.S.N.A. members and enthusiasts of state numismatic organization memorabilia.
