And the winner is . . ..
2012-P Star-Spangled Banner
Low Country Coin Club took a patriotic turn January 6, 2021 with their membership coin contest.
The Star-Spangled Banner won - at least it was the 2012 Commerative Proof Silver Dollar
The 2012 Star-Spangled Banner Silver Dollar is issued in commemoration of the bicentennial of the writing of the Star-Spangled Banner which went on to become the national anthem of the United States. The silver dollar was released on March 5, 2012.
John Placko brought the coin, a PCGS Certified PR69DCAM.
Each quarter the club holds a coin contest for members to show off their collections. Each contest has a subject theme, like Flags, which was this quarter's theme. Previous themes have been, ugliest person, most beautiful woman and flowers.
The next contest is April 7, 2021 with the theme weird/strange animals. Must be a living or historical animal that actually existed, not a mythical or fictional character.
What is the Low country coin club
A bit of our history
In 1960 a handful of coin collectors in the Low Country decided it would be a good thing to have a club of like minded men and women (it was all men in 1960.) H.H. Case, A.E. Tyner and Phil Jenkins led that group of men.
And that is what they did. Meeting at several locations occasionally, they talked and traded coins.
The Club held its first Coin Show June 12-14, 1964 at the Francis Marion Hotel in downtown Charleston, SC.
In 2007, the Low Country Coin Club incorporated as a non-profit organization (NOT a 501(c)(3)) in the state of South Carolina.
