Today I will show you the Bicentennial Eagle from Tri-State Refining.
It was also bought in Orlando, FL, a few weeks ago, for less than a dollar over spot price.
I found a few things about Tri-State Refining on numista: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces189726.html
"In 1973, Robert Hoff married Linda Opdahl and began working with Linda's father, Opdahl, at Sioux Fertilizer Company in Hawarden, Iowa. That same year Opdahl started a small business extracting silver from X-ray and other film products. The business prospered. In 1976, Opdahl purchased a gas-fired smelting unit and moved it to his farm near Hudson, South Dakota. Hoff managed Tri-State throughout this time.
In 1978, at the urging of several associates, Opdahl placed his property into three trusts, with Opdahl named as trustee on each. The first trust, Sioux Enterprises, consisted of the fertilizer business in Hawarden. Opdahl placed the refining business into a second trust known as Tri-State Refining Company. Finally, Opdahl placed the Hudson farm into a third trust, the Apaloosa Company."
