MORE ON THE RETAIL COIN DEALERS ASSOCIATION

Google Books lists a 44-page item titled "Retail Coin Dealers Association Convention: June 4, 5, 6, 7, 1964 : Riverside Hotel, Reno, Nevada" It lists the authors as Hank Bieciuk, Inc, Northen Nevada Numismatic Association. But it doesn't actually have the content of the book (which sounds like a convention program). An internet search for the authors turned up no more information.

An eBay auction has an example of the same token/medal that Alan Roy illustrated in his query last week: 1960 RCDA Retail Coin Dealers Association Copper-Bronze Coin-Token (www.ebay.com/itm/1960-RCDA-Retail-Coin-Dealers-Association-Copper-Bronze-Coin-Token-/201050760918)

Another Google Books search turned up a reference in the November 1984 issue of The Rotarian, the magazine of the Rotary International organization. It's found in a coin ad for "The Numismatic Guild" of New York. The headline is "We're selling a 3-Piece, $100 Solid Silver Dollar set for only $69... and you get an extra silver dollar FREE with each set ordered within 30 days!" The ad brags that "The Numismatic Guild, dealers in rare coins for over 35 years, is a member of the prestigious Retail Coin Dealers Association and our president is a lifetime member of the American Numismatic Association."
