Central States Numismatic Society

Two new programs are available for CSNS Junior members, based on postcards returned from a July mailing to our 152 juniors.

1. Report Card Rewards - All juniors who get 3 or more "A"s (or the equivalent) on their school report cards will get a numismatic reward. Only one reward will be given per marking or semester session per child; a limit of 4 per school year. A copy of the report card, name, address and age must accompany the request and be sent within 30 days of the report date. Different items will be given each time. Reward recipients will be published in The Centinel and posted on the CSNS website (www.centralstates.info).
2. Essay Contest - The first contest topic is "How I Started Collecting," and each entry is limited to 350 words. Age classes: 8 to 13 years; 14 to 17 years.
1. 1st Prize - 2007 Complete Proof Set
2. 2nd Prize - 2007 Presidential Dollar Proof Set
3. 3rd Prize - 2007 State Quarter Proof Set

Entries must be received by Jan. 31, 2008. Winners will be announced by Feb 15, 2008, and published in The Centinel and on the CSNS website.

Both program entries should be sent to:
