I have a small collection of ANA Convention Badges and Medals. This is one of my favorites. Frank Gasparro, Chief Engraver at the US Mint - Eisenhower Dollar, SBA, Kennedy Half, ... Did the design and engraved the dies for this badge and medal.
1969 ANA Convention Badge - Philadelphia Obv
1969 ANA Convention Badge - Philadelphia Rev
Badges with Ribbons - Large is 38mm small is 19mm.

Also very similar to a 1977 design by Frank Gasparro for the dollar coin that became the SBA. Too bad the original design was not selected, perhaps the coin would not have been as dismal a failure if the design was more popular.
Beautiful piece, Art.

I tried to buy these on Ebay recently.

Wasn't me that outbid you on it. I've had mine for quite some time. The prices on this stuff have started to go up over the past year or two. Most of the badges and medals are now twice what they were a year ago. Supply & demand, I guess.
I updated the photo links today so the pictures can be seen again.
