Roosevelt’s portrait on the March of Dimes dollar is strikingly similar to his portrait on the dime, but he faces right rather than left.

Roosevelt, Salk on Dimes dollar Designs for the 2015 March of Dimes commemorative silver dollar were made public Oct. 30 by the U.S. Mint and the March of Dimes Foundation. Conjoined busts of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dr. Jonas Salk appear on

obverse while an infant sleeping in the hand of a parent is depicted on the reverse. Next year the Mint will sell up to 500,000 of the new coins, which mark the 75th anniDollar/Page 24

Quick delivery Many collectors have been astonished by the rapid delivery of 50th anniversary Kennedy half dollar silver sets they ordered starting Oct. 28. Sales in the first five days totaled 125,147. The Mint had 190,000 sets ready to ship and they went out quickly as attested by Numismatic News readers. “I am stunned. I received my five sets today, Oct. 30, via UPS. 48 hours from order to delivery. Bravo to the U.S. Mint. The coins are beautiful and Kennedy/Page 24

Minnesota law confuses By Connor Falk Under Minnesota law, selling a 1794 Flowing Hair dollar would require you to get a license as a bullion coin dealer. That’s because the coin surpasses the one percent precious metals content to classify it as bullion under the new state law and, with a $57,500 price in G-4, it exceeds the $5,000 Minnesota/Page 34

Four-coin Kennedy sets have been shipped rapidly.

ANA adopts budget With its new website up and running, the American Numismatic Association’s budget for the fiscal year beginning Nov. 1, 2014, drops to $5.7 million compared to $6.35 million the year before. The ANA board of governors voted unanimously to approve the spending plan Oct. 30 during a teleconference. The dues and applications income line dropped to $810,000 from $900,000 the year before.

A Proof-65 small-date 1842 quarter and an MS-62 Bust half dollar with 15 stars on the obverse were tied for the honor of top lot at the Heritage Gardner auction.

Gardner coins at $14 million Two coins tied as the top lots at the Eugene H. Gardner Collection sale held by Heritage Auctions Oct. 27 in New York City. Contributing the most to the $13.75

million overall prices realized was an 1842 small-date quarter graded Proof-65 by the Professional Coin Grading Service.

Dull star on proof One star was not frosted on four 2014-P proof silver Kennedy half dollars delivered in sets to New York City reader Pete Acampora. Acampora wonders how many other coins have the unfrosted star. Error authority Ken Potter said, “areas of frosting wearing away is common on proof coins.”

Supply of 2014 silver Eagles runs out The Mint ran out of silver American Eagle bullion coins. On Nov. 5 it issued a statement saying, “Due to the tremendous demand we have experienced in the last several weeks, the U.S. Mint has temporarily sold out of its American Eagle silver bullion coins. We continue to produce 2014-dated coins and will advise you when additional inventory will be available for sale.” The Mint sold more silver Eagles in the month of October than at any time since January 2013. A total of 5,790,000 silver Eagles flew out the door. This compares to 7,498,000 in January 2013. The month of March 2014 had a sales total of 5,354,000 in a close third place. It looks like if the Mint can produce the coins, it could outsell the 42,675,000 pieces it recorded in the full calendar year of 2013 as the present running tally stands at 39,096,000. Eager buyers await word from the Mint as to whether it can.

Can the Mint ever make us happy? Congratulations to the the Mint for its rapid shipping of the four-coin Kennedy 50th anniversary silver half dollar set. If you have read the front page story, you already know that readers are clearly happy. That is not something easily achieved, which I expect makes the present moment all the sweeter for officials. Getting coins delivered in large numbers two days after they are ordered should not be unusual. Anyone who watches, uses or relies on Amazon.com knows that the logistics of rapid delivery can be accomplished. It is clear that even if coin collectors who bought the Kennedy sets from the Mint are not regulars on Amazon, they have Amazon expectations. That is a good thing. It is also bad. In order for the Mint to be able to ship the Kennedy set quickly, it needed large numbers on hand before orders bagan. In this case, the number was 190,000. However, in order for the Mint to have this number on hand, it has to make its best guess about how many collectors might like to buy. That

is not an easy task. There is the risk that the Mint will make too many. This means it would have to extend order periods where possible to sell them, or the coins will have to be destroyed at high cost to the Mint. If the Mint makes too few ahead of time, there will be some happy buyers who get them and others who will be unhappy if they have to wait. If we collectors have proven anything this year it is we do not like to see some happy collectors if all collectors cannot be made happy. The Mint has been experimenting with coin offers where it will make as many coins as are ordered. This solves the Mint’s excess inventory problem. It prevents sellouts that leave some collectors out of luck while others enjoy the luck of the draw, or

the speed of their computers. But delivery can be slow for many potential buyers unless the Mint always stockpiles a huge supply at the outset, which eliminates the benefit of striking coins to order. So what should be done? I have long advocated striking to order, but the profits that can now acrue to the recipients of the first coins delivered because of third-party slabbing means striking to order guarantees windfall profits to those who get coins first. Can a mass market long survive this inherent tension where few believe early deliveries are due to the luck of the draw rather than to some nefarious relationship with the Mint? Probably not. The Mint could impose an automatic waiting period on all deliveries for 30 or 60 days. This would eliminate the first strike slab bonanzas, but an Amazon-trained generation doesn’t want to wait. Collectors are happy now, but these unaswered questions about future offers mean the upbeat mood won’t last.

LETTERS Mint did a great job taking Kennedy set orders It was great to hear that you are getting broad inputs as to the stellar, speed-of-light web ordering and fulfillment performance by the Mint on this last Tuesday’s four-coin silver Kennedy Anniversary series. I ordered online on Tuesday, about 15 minutes after it opened for orders (no slow site response and no waiting!) and actually had the four sets I ordered in my hands in Seattle on Thursday afternoon, 52 hours later – amazing. Even better and faster than I get from Amazon (who is

headquartered just down the street here!) There’s a new sheriff in town, Jeff Bezos! I am guessing that orders have crossed the six-figure level at this point – enough to give all collectors (not just dealers and bulk buyers) wide, quick and free access and yet still in the sweet spot of semi-key status on the series – that makes it a winwin-win for everyone. So now we know the team and leadership at the Mint has listened, heard and acted on our cries for better customer service and have executed superbly – at least this time – demonstrating that they can run a world-class time in the 100-meter dash of numismatic customer service. Let’s encourage (and hold) them to keep it up in the long term – for a world class time in the marathon as well. Way to go U.S. Mint! The team did it in new web design, peak volume management (which is very hard to do), manufacturing and upgrading their fulfillment sub-contracting. Thank you, Dick Peterson!

Numismatic News EXPRESS / November 25, 2014

Now, if we are lucky, there will be a fourth win in this experience – that the flooding of the market with lots and lots of silver Kennedy’s from day two (literally!) will result in a follow-on tsunami wave of submissions to the slabbers for the bogus and ridiculous “First Strike/ Early Whatever” provenance on these sets – and that supply of those slabs will be so high as to make that label so common and so worthless as to start killing it (and premium pricing opportunities) off in the market! And we can get back to collecting the real deal – that is beautifully designed, manufactured and preserved coins and not contrived, slab-derived varieties. We owe the critical new collectors in our realm that reality – and not the pumpedup, pimped-up slab game that inappropriately lines the pockets of the opportunistic dealers and otherwise valued authenticators.

VIEWPOINT

Commemorate Apollo 11 landing By Connor Falk On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 lunar module touched down on the moon, putting mankind on its surface. A short time later, astronaut Neil Armstrong took those first steps onto its surface, saying, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” In 2019, the 50th anniversary of that landing will occur and such an event has to be commemorated on a coin. This coin would need to capture both the ingenuity and determination of the men and women who made that mission a success as well as the destination itself: the moon. I’ve created a depiction of what I think the 2019 Apollo 11 commemorative coin should look like. I believe the coin should be curved, with the obverse convex side featuring the surface of the moon, covered in its craters and valleys. Its surface is familiar to anyone and would need to be replicated by a skilled artist, down to the Sea of Tranquility, the landing site of Apollo 11.

This is the author’s suggestion for a commemorative coin to honor the Apollo 11 landing on the moon.

The device LIBERTY would be across the top, IN GOD WE TRUST at the 8 o’clock position and 2019 at the 4 o’clock position. The concave side is a bit trickier. I originally thought the three astronauts on the lunar mission should be profiled. But as astronaut Michael Collins said when justifying not using their names on the

Apollo 11 mission patch, “we wanted the design to be representative of everyone who had worked toward the lunar landing.” After much thought, I believe that the concave side should show the Saturn V rocket that carried the Apollo 11 crew Viewpoint/Page 14

Mint, this email contains my own personal opinions and in no way represents or stands for those that might be attributable in any way to official positions or other actions of that group or the U.S. Mint. I merely love collecting and preserving the integrity and enjoyment of the numismatic hobby for all collectors today and in the future.

Ordering from Mint website went smoothly I ordered one Kennedy set at 9:01 a.m. PST and got an email receipt about half an hour later. Then I tried calling 1-800-USA-MINT about a dozen times to reach a human to find out when they’d start shipping. I got a busy signal every time, which tells me their phones are swamped with non-Internet capable people ordering these sets. At least I hope that’s what the constant busy signals mean. Another thing changed since the last time I placed an order with the Mint a few years ago. They used to not hit one’s charge card until the order was actually shipped. This has changed, and now they hit one’s charge card for the order total dollar amount immediately. What this means, I have no idea. When they will ship the set, I have no idea. I’ll try calling them again and keep calling until I can get a human on the phone. Their website’s “live chat” was and still is unavailable. I don’t know what that means either. There was absolutely no delay or lag when placing the order. I changed my password, as they had instructed all existing customers to do, yesterday, in anticipation of ordering the JFK silver set this morning. I expected the website to be bogged down. It wasn’t. Not in the least. so I’m left hanging with a lot of questions and no way to get an answer out of them 10

until I can reach a human. By the way, the Mint is really hauling in the profits on this set. Silver is at about $17.25 an ounce. The set contains four silver halves, or roughly 2 ounces of silver, around $35 worth or less (unless the coins are .999 silver and not .900). So that’s $100 plus shipping for $35 (or less) worth of silver in fancy packaging. That’s a $65 profit on each set, unless you factor in the cost of labor and the fancy packaging, and who knows what percentage of the $65 profit that is. Hoping for a fast sellout. Rubbing rabbit’s foot. Oh, foo, I’ll just rub the whole rabbit. Harv Laser California

It gets costly to collect First Spouse set I enjoyed the article “Strike gold with First Spouse?” in the Nov. 4 issue. However, a few corrections. First of all, there will be 40 coins in the full set through Betty Ford. (Two of the presidents had two spouses). This would add an additional two for the uncirculated version and two for the proof which adjusts your totals by an additional $1,226 per set. Secondly, with the price of gold today at $1227.40 the Mint is charging $795 for the uncirculated version and $815 for the PR version of any of the First Spouse coins available. With the $200 additional fee per coin the U.S. Mint tacks on you are talking an investment of $16,000 for the full set over and above the gold value. When this series began, the Martha Washington and Abigail Adams coins went on sale the same day and the price was $410 for the uncirculated and $430 for the proof. All 20,000 of each type were sold on the first day. By the time Jefferson’s was released, the price was $495 and $510. I think it took three days to sell all of them on the Mint site. With the current prices, it is no wonder that the normal collector cannot afford to build a decent set of any of the products the Mint offers. Charles Berkel Edwardsville, Ill.

Numismatic News EXPRESS / November 25, 2014

Mint has done a good job fulfilling orders Can you publish a complete modern commemorative coinage final mintage according to its option sold. Like the 1988 two coins uncirculated set. How many sets were sold? And include the special sets like the currency and coin set. How many sold?. Thanks. Having just read the letter from Bruce Frohman in the Nov. 4, Numismatic News titled “Be specific with delivery instructions to Mint,” I felt I should respond. I don’t know if I should call it a defense of the Mint or failure of the USPS or maybe both. I know everyone has heard stories of mail being delivered to someone months or even years after it was sent and I know that still happens occasionally. During the years of the state quarters being minted, I subscribed to get the 100 coin bags of each mint issue. I think it was the North Carolina quarter issue, because that is where my wife is from and it is one state I particularly wanted. I received the notice that my order had been shipped from the Mint and filed it away. Normally within two weeks of that notice I received the shipment of previous quarter issues. This time, the two weeks passed. A month passed and then six weeks. At that point I called the Mint customer service. The lady at the Mint confirmed my order had been shipped and was in the hands of the USPS for delivery. However six weeks was enough time to consider the package “lost” so customer service did the paper work to send me a replacement order. I received that shipment within two weeks and forgot about the incident, happily checking the quarters and filing the best ones in my collection. About three months later I received a shipment from the U.S. Mint’s fulfillment center with two bags of 100 North Carolina quarters. The original shipment had finally arrived. So the Mint is not always the bad guy when an order is missing or delayed. Who knows where my bags of quarters sat for over three months?

LETTERS Letters/from Page 10 center or in my mailman’s truck? The shipping box was in good condition so I don’t think it had been manhandled or “smashed” under a larger item. There had been no unusual “rain, sleet or dark of night” to cause the delay. It just took the long route from the mint to my mailbox. I was pleased with the Mint’s customer service response – I did not have to pay shipping on the second delivery – and when I wound up with 200 quarters from each mint I was happy about that too. I was not billed for the second shipment either, but because I am a great guy, I mailed a payment for the second shipment with a short explanation to the Mint after I received the original. Over the years I have ordered a lot of coins from the Mint, all the state quarters and others and this has been the only issue I have ever had with a delivery (I even got the baseball coins within a month of ordering). So I, for one, can’t complain. But there is always tomorrow. Lowell Knouff Johns Island, S.C.

Spend money on classic coins, not moderns As a coin collector for over 40 years I am puzzled at the popularity of modern overproduced and overpriced U.S. Mint products. It seems there is high demand for whatever the U.S. Mint produces no matter how high the price. The upcoming four-coin 50th anniversary Kennedy half set at $100 is a perfect example. There is no doubt there will be huge demand for this set. With no mintage limit the mintage on this set will be very high. However, for $100 or less I’d rather buy a beautiful Mint State Morgan or Peace dollar or some other nice early 19th century coin. I recently purchased a nice 1829 Bust half dollar for less than $100. This coin actually circulated nearly 200 years ago. There are many nice early 19th or 20 century coins that can be purchased for less than $100. These coins are historic and actually circulated. These are true collector coins. Needless to say, I won’t be spend14

ing $100 for an overproduced four-coin Kennedy half set. Dave Loehr Flat Rock, N.C.

Mint got it right with sale of Kennedy set Kudos to the U.S. Mint for the rollout of the outstanding collector set of the four different silver Kennedy commemoratives/ special issues. Also, one can certainly tell that the US Mint’s revamped website is smooth and well organized. Also, give a hand to the Mint for making the tough decision of not selling this special issue at the Whitman show and at their gift shops in order to avoid the Kennedy gold rush fiasco and trample that occurred in August. I am certain that it has hurt the sales of their product this time around. Indeed, it is sad that our hobby or profession (if you can call it that) needs to be monitored like some other children (my kids do behave, they’re great!) to behave, and mind your manners and be courteous to others, and since we know you can’t do that, we’re taking away the toy to play with, or in this case the coin excitement and numismatic experience of a rollout coin at a show, where the collectors are getting in line to own a unique piece of modern recreated history, and a memorable moment. Again, and as I have said before in this

forum, how ridiculous it is that the powers that be have literally stated “well, since nothing illegal went on with the hiring of stand-in-liners, then there is nothing we can do about it.” Sure there is something you can do about it! Create your own rules within the professional standards of the hobby and the association and trade show organizers that states that anyone caught or even thought of paying someone else to stand in line for them, you’re all kicked out of the show, and don’t get a coin. Period. Your own rules are your own rules! It’s your show, you can make the rules! The legalese doesn’t enter into this matter, as it’s a private show with private show rules. But I guess in today’s profit mongoring, politically correct, don’t step on my feet or I will sue you mentality, no one has the guts to do that. The upshot of this is that in my opinion, the silver Kennedy four-coin set will be a sleeper during the issue period ( I doubt the U.S. Mint has 300,000 on hand), and it will not reach an issuance of more than 90,000. We’ll see how well that prediction ferrets out! In the meantime, my boys worked hard over the summer doing various jobs and saved the $99.95 for their sets, and the Mint let me know today, the day after issuance, that they are shipped and on their way!

Viewpoint/from Page 6 into space taking off, engines at full thrust. The rocket is an iconic symbol of the space program. It represents all the knowledge, hard work and motivation it took to place someone on the moon. Across the top would read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the lower left will host the denomination and mintmark and the lower right would read E PLURIBUS UNUM. The name of the mission, APOLLO 11, and the date of the moon landing, JULY 20, 1969, would be to the left of the rocket. To the right is the inscription, “We came in peace for all mankind.” The very same inscription is on the plaque of the lunar module’s descent stage, still on the moon’s surface to this day. Now that a mockup of this coin is complete, I’m looking to get in contact with Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, and any other members of the Apollo 11 mission to hear what they think of the design. I can think of no greater input than that of the very people who were a part of that great achievement of landing on the moon. I feel that this design best incorporates the success of the Apollo 11 mission: that despite all adversity in this world, mankind could ascend above that and take those first steps out into space.

Does bullion depress Kennedy sales? Gold is down another $23 this morning from yesterday’s closing price. It is trading at $1,144.20 a troy ounce, according to the Kitco website Silver is lower as well. It has sunk to $15.37, off almost 56 cents from yesterday’s close. Serious weakness in precious metals enveloped the four-coin silver Kennedy 50th anniversary set offer that began Oct. 28. Gold is down $100 since Oct. 22 and silver is down $1.82. Are weak precious metals leading to weak Kennedy set sales? I think there is a good chance that is the case. Last week I reported that sales of the silver Kennedy sets totaled 85,670 in the first 12 hours as tallied by the Mint. A further 39,477 sets were sold through Sunday, Nov. 2. In the first five days the Mint has vended 125,147. While this number is not yet game, set and match. It is close. Collectors have been trained by both personal desire and the need to get early slabs to front-end load their purchases of new coins from the Mint.

e-letters

That means the bulk of demand has already probably been satisfied. If this is the case, the Mint will be lucky to sell the 190,000 sets it prepared in advance of the offer, let alone the 300,000 maximum it belatedly imposed Oct. 24. Judging from my email, Numismatic News readers have been buyers of multiple sets. That means they will be looking to unload them on the secondary market as quick as they can to take advantage of any market pop higher. If sales momentum drops off sharply, what will that mean going forward? It could mean that the Kennedy sets will be offered by the Mint into next year to clear out inventory. There is no authorizing legislation to terminate the offer at the end of the year. Of course, I can be wrong, but from my vantage point, the silver Kennedy set offer looks like it has attracted a mediocre collector response. I think it would have done far better if it had been offered during the summer when the other two special Kennedy offers first began.

But the Mint had a good reason for the delay. It did not want to make an offer on its old website. It did not want to rile collectors with any problems associated with it. Instead, it scheduled the Kennedy silver offer for after the new website went live Oct. 1 and then gave collectors four weeks to re-establish their passwords and provide necessary customer information. From a vendor service point of view, this was wise. Sales went quickly and smoothly. But the cost might very well be that the Mint missed the emotional collector wave that prevailed in July and August when bullion prices were actually rising. Falling bullion prices are not the only reason for collectors to have lost some of their enthusiasm for Kennedy coins, but they might have been the final straw for many potential buyers. If sales are following the pattern I think they are, we will report a number around 145,000 next week and at the end of the year the number will be around 170,000. That would leave the Mint with 20,000 extra sets.

from the Oct. 31 Numismatic News E-Newsletter

Here are some answers sent from our e-newsletter readers to Editor Dave Harper. Read more responses at www.numismaticnews.com.

Should the quarter reverse design change five times a year forever? My vote would be to go back to the regular reverse and let us catch our breath. I also collect Canada and with all the variations the Canadians put on their quarters, some years I don’t even know if I’m getting all the right coins. Give us a break for a few years, let the markets catch up, and then, if something is really noteworthy, then come up with something special. Maybe what the Mint could do would be to have the original design as the standard every year (like Canada does with the caribou), and then slip in a special issue once in a while. Keep asking the good questions. Paul Fehrenbach Milwaukee, Wis. Rather than continue the mindless 16

change in the quarter dollar reverse, how about a very much needed update of the dime? Why not redesign the latter and revert to a patriotic theme such as a new modern Liberty head obverse, a theme which was employed for years and is emblematic of the USA. No more presidents! J. Finch Bluffton, SC I think that the collector base isn’t there to support continuous design changes on the quarter. We seem to have exhausted public interest, and it does cost the Mint money to design and produce new dies for all these quarters. We could possibly have a new design each year or perhaps change designs

Numismatic News EXPRESS / November 25, 2014

every two or three years, but five times a year has proven to be just too much (at least after year 10 of all these design changes with the state quarters). Simcha Kuritzky Silver Spring, Md. No, I am not in favor of changes to the quarter five times a year. I was afraid the national park series would make the quarter resemble a token rather than money. The designs have been well done and quite attractive in comparison to some of the state quarters. A day may come when the Mint “sells” the reverse design for advertising to private companies. The best thing about the changes has been the opportunity for collectors to find Buzz/Page 18

Buzz/from Page 16 something new and interesting in circulating coins. Unfortunately with the high mintage numbers very few of these will become rarities. Constantly changing coinage may also represent an unstable economy where there appears little of lasting value. In my opinion it is better to change the whole design of a coin after 25 years than five times a year. Timothy Scharr Aviston, Ill. As you can see by the poll, the idea of 5 different reverse’s for the quarter is getting old and tiring. It’s boring and too much to try to keep up with as a collection. The states program worked, the territories was a natural progression, now the parks is too much and what’s next, the Cities?? Jack Iaci Spring Hill Fla. Absolutely not. This is just another ploy by the mint to get you to part with more of your money on something that will never be worth anything. How much are the state quarters and the current quarters increasing over what the mint charges for them? That should be a warning to everyone. The Mint should get out of the coin business and stick to providing the necessary medium of exchange for commerce. Mint sets, proof sets and two commemoratives are great but everything else should go. Our taxes are high enough without the government trying to sell us the worthless junk they are putting out just to make a profit of the coin collector. If they keep going down the road they are not taking, serious coin collection will be a thing of the past. John T. Tinney Volcano, Calif. The reverse of the quarter can change as many times as Congress desires, but it does no good if they do not receive wide distribution. I remember the excitement and anticipation of each new 50 states quarter, readily available to all who desired them. But most people simply cannot get the America the Beautiful coins. Distribution is sporadic and the last one distributed in New Hampshire was Utah earlier this year. So that excitement has been effec18

tively killed and most people I have talked with have given up on finding them. It will continue to be so as long as the current situation prevails. New reverses? Who cares! Bob Fritsch Nashua, N.H. Put a stop to the change after this series ends. Future commemorative series should be considered on the half dollar instead. The half doesn’t circulate much as it is, so why not use it for this venue as it is. This will keep these coins in a higher grade longer by this method. Also, instead of just an eagle for the reverse, go to the Washington Monument instead. Should the eagle be retained for the reverse, it can be in flight by the monument. Or even perhaps overlay the eagle over the monument. Artists, get busy and do several renderings of designs just in case. I’d like to hear responses to this idea. Gary Kess Berkel en Rodenrijs Netherlands This is my opinion on the quarter question. As an artist, I believe that U.S. circulating coinage designs are static, and, boring. I believe that changing the reverse designs of the quarter regularly would be a great step in the right direction to instill new interest in circulating U.S. coinage. I also firmly believe that we should get rid of portraits on coins and work toward more classic designs harkening back to the days of such designs as the standing Liberty quarter, Walking Liberty half, winged Liberty (Mercury) dime, etc. United States coinage designs currently are uninteresting and boring. As an artist, I believe that new designs would bring renewed interest to the use and collecting, of U.S. coinage. Peter E. Klimek Address withheld Negative. Why do people seem to always want to change things that they hardly ever pay any attention to unless the idea is suggested by someone, somewhere? Phill Hawk Silsbee, Texas My feeling is that while the state quarter program got a little excitement back into collecting, I think it’s gone on too long now. I found a national park quarter

Numismatic News EXPRESS / November 25, 2014

in circulation and mentioned it to someone that I work with. His comment was, “It’s just a state quarter.” I explained that it wasn’t and that this program commemorated national parks around the country. My point being that for a lot of people out there, it’s confusing. John Gould Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The quarter reverse should change to a single updated eagle design after the national parks series and then stay a single design for a while. Scott McGowan Chicago, Ill. Absolutely not! I believe that collectors have had enough of the quarters. I am getting burned out collecting numerous issues just to keep my collections up to date each and every year. I am also upset over the March of Dimes commemorative coming out next year. The Mint should have put out a special dime to commemorate the event. A circulated dime that could have sparked the rebirth of putting your change into a card to be donated to the organization. On top of that the selection for the commemorative dollar missed the mark by a long shot. So let’s get back to one quarter each year and try and put some common sense into what the Mint puts out in the future. It’s the collector that buys what the Mint puts out, and I for one may consider canceling all my subscription I purchase each and every year. Jayne Shelby Hollywood, Md. Changing the reverse of the quarter every year is something that might sound like a money grab. But the public is used to the changing designs. The theme of the program is important. More than one design a year is overkill. If the quarter changes reverse every year, why not change the reverses of all denominations? I would like to see a better reverse on the cent. The nickel, dime and half could use new artwork. The Native American dollar has had some very attractive artwork. The size of the dime would be a challenge to keep simple and attractive. The half dollar would be a great size for the artists. Donald Cantrell Address withheld

Everglades bullion 5-ounce sells 22,000 By Connor Falk The first weekly sales report of the 2014 Everglades 5-ounce silver bullion coin indicates that 22,000 have been purchased. This places the coin well over sales of the previous release, the Great Sand Dunes, currently at 16,400. Sales of the Everglades coin were probably spurred on by lower silver prices.

For the same reason, sales of gold and silver bullion in October were high, with 57,500 one-ounce gold and 5,790,000 one-ounce silver American Eagle bullion coins sold. Bullion coin sales in the first four days of November kept up the momentum, with 11,500 one-ounce, 1,000 half-ounce, 2,000 quarter-ounce and 5,000 tenthounce gold American Eagle bullion coins

are now on their way to NGC for grading,” wrote Bill Rodgers of Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. Don Payne of Collier County, Fla., summarized his experience this way: “I signed on to the U.S. Mint website at 11:30 a.m. EST on 10/28. At 12 p.m. I ordered five 2014 50th Anniversary Kennedy half dollar silver four-coin collection sets. Checked out by 12:05 p.m.. Received an email from the U.S. Mint on 10/28 that the order was shipped. Received the five sets today (10/30). “As a very long time subscriber to the Numismatic News I have read many horror stories about the problems with orders from the U.S. Mint. It seems that U.S. Mint may have finally gotten its act together, or I was incredibly lucky.” Another happy collector was A. Benton of Myrtle Beach, S.C. He wrote, “My hat’s off to the Mint.

versary of Roosevelt’s 1938 creation of the organization to combat polio., It was originally called the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Roosevelt took the lead because of his own struggle with disease. A $10 surcharge will be added to the cost of each coin sold to raise money for the organization. The March of Dimes says it will use the money to help finance research, education and health services aimed at improving the health of women, infants

lar four-coin set on 10/28 at about 2:45 p.m. “I received an order confirmation e-mail at 2:57 p.m. the same day (system generated). I received another e-mail on 10/29 at 12:23 a.m. that the order was shipped. On Friday 10/31 at 11:39 a.m., UPS was at my door with the package. Oh, the coins look great also.” Not everything was perfect. A New Jersey reader who wishes to remain unidentified recounted his experience. “Online ordering slower than land line. Ordered three sets of 50th Anniversary Kennedy sets on 10/28 at 12 p.m. I paid an extra $12.95 for delivery because I saw there were 180,000 sets set aside for immediate delivery. I guess I was expecting a sellout, so I wanted to make sure I got one of the 180,000. My buddy called after I made my purchase by phone. He also ordered three sets and was in no hurry. Delivery for him cost $4.95 (1-2

weeks). He got his today 10/31. I’m to get mine at the end of the day 11/3. He received emails for confirmation and delivery twice. I had to keep going into the Mint’s website to check on status only to see processing.” Dumfries, Va., reader Ross MacCallum waited to change his password on the new Mint website until the day the Kennedy set went on sale. He wrote, “I had tremendous difficulty in doing the required password reset at the new U.S. Mint website. It took several attempts over three days (Oct. 28, 29, 30) before the Mint responded with the email permitting the change. Then it took three or four attempts to actually make the change.” The four-coin Kennedy silver set is priced at $99.95 each and can still be ordered at www.usmint.gov. Before sales began, the Mint announced on Oct. 24 that no more than 300,000 sets will be produced.

and children. According to the Mint, Artistic Infusion Program artist Paul C. Balan designed the obverse, and Mint Sculptor-Engraver Michael Guardioso will sculpt it. Mint Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart designed and will sculpt the reverse. The mission of the March of Dimes changed with the achievement of success in its original purpose. Roosevelt’s foundation offered patient aid programs and funded research for polio vaccines developed by Drs. Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin. Tested in a mas-

sive field trial in 1954 that involved 1.8 million schoolchildren known as “polio pioneers,” the Salk vaccine was licensed for use on April 12, 1955, as “safe, effective and potent.” The Salk and Sabin polio vaccines ultimately ended the polio epidemics in the United States. The foundation then focused on preventing birth defects, prematurity and infant mortality in 1958. It began to fund research into the genetic, prenatal and environmental causes of more than 3,000 birth defects. The foundation’s investment in research has led to 13 scientists winning the Nobel Prize since 1954.

also declined substantially, going from $100,000 to $54,500. The ANA will use 3.25 percent of its investment assets, or $692,778, toward the fiscal year end operating and capital budgets. In fiscal year 2013, the ANA’s net worth grew by $4.1 million to $73.7 million, though the latter figure includes the value of the museum collection. Executive Director Kimberly Kiick said, “This budget,

Are we there yet? I do not think we have reached the bottom of the precious metals cycle. There is great negativity in the media. We should see some upward movement, but the market will remain under pressure while the greenback is the strongest currency in the Monopoly game. Europe is facing possible serious deflation. China seems to be headed in the same direction. Japan continues its 20+ years of a failed economy. Our muddle through but improving economy seems best. We could see some deflation

with oil below $80 a barrel. Silver is now outrageously cheap compared to gold at 75:1, but who says it can’t go to 80:1 or 85:1 versus gold? The U.S. Mint has limited the new Kennedy half dollar set to 300,000 units because that is all the silver blanks that are available. Platinum while under pressure from lower oil has gained in relation to gold at 1.05:1. The U.S. gold type coin market has taken a hit on all bullion-related issues, but the non-bullion issues remain steady. There is not an abundance of material being offered at current prices.

type coins in two weeks. There is good demand on most, but unless something is special or strong for the grade it must be priced competitively to have action. This is the effect of fear cast by declining bullion and a weak economic recovery. Promotional items dominate the generic type coin market. VG-8 Seated dollars are the strongest item out there.

COIN CLINIC

1960 small date once called humbug ■ I’m told on good authority that a former president of the American Numismatic Association described the 1960 small-date cents as a “deception.” Did he actually make such a statement? The term was indeed used, although your quote is a bit out of context. In a rather unusual comment on then current collecting interests, ANA President Oscar Dodson made the statement in the 1960 ANA annual report that claims that microscopic variations in the date create a new variety ... “In my opinion ... is sheer humbug.” The term you mention shows up in the last line of his comments. “Any statement that some of these coins constitute a fine investment is, in my opinion, a deception.” In all fairness, I should note that at the time the coins were the subject of some really wild speculation and Admiral Dodson’s comments were obviously addressed to bringing the average collector down to earth. ■ Why is there such a wide difference between what dealers will pay for 90 percent silver coins and 40 percent silver halves? The figures do seem lopsided, but if you figure the actual silver content, you’ll find that most dealers are paying about, or slightly more than silver value for the 90 percent and slightly less for the 40 percent. The slight difference traces to the smelter charges. It costs more to bring 40 percent silver up to .999 fineness than it does 90 percent silver. It is .999 fineness that is the standard trading purity for refiners. ■ Since they used the same design on the round and octagonal $50 PanamaPacific coins, how did they change the size of the design? The design is the same, but it had to be reduced to fit the octagonal planchets. Changing the size merely required an adjustment of the Janvier reducing lathe, which was used to make the hubs from which the dies were made. Given the low mintages involved, they may have made the dies directly on the lathe. ■ What was the correct mintage of the 1921 high relief Peace dollars? 1,006,473 were struck. Interestingly enough the entire mintage was performed in five working days, during the week of Dec. 26-31, 1921. All of the coins were the 32

high relief variety. The 1922-dated dies had been modified to reduce the relief before production started. There are conflicting figures relating to the 1921 Peace dollars, because the dies wore rapidly and some of the coins were not as well struck.

■ Do you have the totals for the value of the two- and three-cent coins struck in the 1800s? There were $912,020 worth of two-cent pieces struck between 1864 and 1873. The silver three cent total was $1,282,087.20, the three-cent nickel $941,349.48, so the total face values were fairly closely bunched. ■ Wasn’t it illegal at one time to reproduce the state emblems of the State of Vermont? Up until 1964 it was indeed illegal to make any copies of the emblems, such as on medals or tokens. The Vermont State Legislature in 1964 finally got around to repealing this particular law. It was one of the few, if not the only specific prohibition against the reproduction of a state emblem anywhere in the country, beyond the normal requirement for permission to use the design. The Vermont statute had provided for imprisonment and fines up to $1,000. ■ Did the Mint make any allowance for silver used as part of the alloy in private gold coins that were sent in to be melted for their bullion content? The regulations of the Mint specifically noted that “Silver is considered merely as an alloy of gold coin, except it can be profitably parted (separated) out, and goes for no more than the copper in the same predicament.” ■ I have a coin that has parts of the designs of a dime and a cent. Can this happen in the Mint? From your description it is possible that you have a dime that was struck a second time by the cent dies, giving it a possible value of $100-$200. I would suggest having it authenticated. For a genuine dual-denomination coin, this has to be the sequence, as a cent will not fit into the feed mechanism for the dime dies. ■ We see a lot of coins and related items on TV programs these days. Does anyone

Numismatic News EXPRESS / November 25, 2014

remember when the first such program was aired? The late Glenn Smedley quoted Vernon L. Brown as having appeared on WNBC in New York in 1947 on a half hour program, featuring wooden nickels and other numismatic items. This came about as a result of an article on Brown in the Saturday Evening Post. At that time he was curator of the Chase National Bank’s money museum. The program hosts were Tex and Jinx McCreary.

■ I was given a medal that apparently was struck to honor Consolidated Edison of New York. There is no date on it. Can you give me any information about it? The piece shows a light bulb, entwined in a ribbon with “100 Years of Electric Service.” On the upper part is the New York skyline, surrounded by the words, “New York Salutes Thomas Edison.” The reverse has “Con Edison/Conserve Energy” in two lines. Edison founded the company in 1882, serving 59 customers on Lower Manhattan. Medallic Art struck the medal that was sold by Con Edison in 1982 for $16. Curiously my information (and the writer with the question) fails to note what metal the pieces were struck in. Perhaps our readers can fill in that gap. ■ I ran across a statement that “only a single variety can be produced by a single pair of dies, whether coining dies, or master dies.” Care to comment? That is a new definition of variety to me and after a few moments of thought about it, I would say that the premise is false. The intent is good, but the author of the statement neglects that the die can change markedly during use. His statement is intended to limit the term to the narrowest possible meaning, which I think is too narrow for the modern collector. If he had limited his statement to coining dies, he might still be able to make a case, but it is readily possible to produce a number of different hubbing varieties from a single master die, at one or another stage between the master and the working die. It is good for an argument in some circles anyway. E-mail inquiries only. Do not send letters in the mail. Send to Giedroyc@Bright.net.

annual threshold in sales. Confused? So are many Minnesota residents, coin dealers and national coin selling businesses. Lee Orr, owner of Great Lakes Coins and Collectibles, Burnsville, Minn., said that he’s heard a lot of questions and concerns from collectors about the law. “I’ve had to tell some collectors that were looking to sell their coin collections on Craigslist that they can’t without registering for a license,” he said. A lot of dealers are not selling to customers in Minnesota because they don’t want to get licensed, he said. “I had to broker a large deal to sell a collection because the seller was a Minnesota resident, the collection was held by a firm who couldn’t do business in Minnesota and the buyer in Arizona wasn’t registered either,” Orr said. Gary Adkins, owner of Gary Adkins Associates, Minneapolis, Minn., said that the law was hurting consumers by limiting the choices they had in coin dealers. A list of Minnesota dealers compiled before the new law showed some 100 dealers in Minnesota, he said. “Less than half are registered, while the other half have left the state, closed up, or figured they would not need to get a license,” Adkins said. “I figure the attrition rate is somewhere around 50 percent.” But there are some pluses to the law. “The law had gotten rid of some bad players in the coin market as well, so that’s a good thing,” Adkins said. “If you ask consumers if we should regulate dealers, they’d say yes. But there’s a better way.” Not only is the law affecting Minnesota collectors, but a large sales tax creates a

“double whammy,” he said. “A lot of national dealers will no longer do business in Minnesota, as well as many eBay sellers, because of the new coin dealer law,” Adkins said. Greg Allen, owner of Greg Allen Coins, Saint Paul, Minn., said that numbers provided by the Minnesota Department of Commerce show how drastically the law had reduced the coin market for Minnesota residents. “As of Oct. 30, 86 separate businesses are registered,” he said. “That’s only 86 businesses the Minnesota collector can deal with.” Numbers for individual licenses were low as well, he said. “There are also 881 individuals registered, but many of these are people who work for coin dealing companies,” he said. “One company has registered 227 people.” He also said that the website for finding out what businesses and individuals were registered was difficult to find. Those interested in viewing the registration list can go to https://www.pulseportal.com/selectStateAndBoard.do and click on “Search Licensees.” “As for coin shows, there are a number of dealers that are registered and a number that are not registered,” Allen said. “There is a licensing exception for dealers attending occasional trade shows. “The Minnesota Department of Commerce has said two coin shows is the limit for the exception.” Orr, who also coordinates the MOON coin show in Brooklyn Center, Minn., said all but one of the 118 available tables sold at the Oct. 10-12 show. “Of the dealers there, 60 percent were out of state,” he said. “Only two to three of them were licensed. “All dealers from Minnesota were licensed.” Attendance at the coin show was down 200 visitors, he said.

“This was probably more due to sales tax than the law,” Orr said. Andrew Swammi, coordinator for the monthly Roseville Coin Show, said that there have been a few empty tables at the show. “We have a 20-table show and two to three tables were empty,” he said of the Roseville, Minn., show. “Typically, we’re able to sell them all.” And collectors noticed that some of their regular dealers weren’t setting up at shows. A common question on the bourse floor is “where’s such-and-such,” Swammi said. “The collectors know something’s going on, but don’t know what,” he said. “Until the day a dealer says, ‘You live in Minnesota. I can’t sell to you,’ the collector is unaware of this law.” The futures of some coin shows in Minnesota were in jeopardy, he said. “It won’t be long before we lose a monthly show,” Swammi said. “I know the Roseville show will survive because it’s built to be a smaller show with a wide selection. “Another show that needs to rent hotel rooms and requires many dealers to be a part of it may run into trouble.” Allen said the Minnesota law also affected sales at national coin shows. “At the ANA show in Chicago, there were some dealers who were not selling to Minnesota residents,” he said. “I heard of one collector at the show who was going to buy a coin, but the dealer found out he was from Minnesota. “The dealer said he couldn’t do the sale because the buyer was from Minnesota and he didn’t want to deal with the law.” Collectors from Minnesota are going to national coin shows and are finding very few registered dealers, he said. “At the Baltimore show, there were only 10 to 12 dealers registered,” Allen said.

include a 17.5 percent buyer’s fee. An NGC Proof-65 1839 Seated Liberty quarter with No Drapery fetched $270,250. According to Heritage it is unique in proof format and is one of only two proofs of the No Drapery subtype known. An NGC MS-65 1871-CC Seated Liberty dime also sold for $270,250. This coin might be the sole finest graded, Heritage said, estimating that between four and seven Mint State examples are known. Bringing $188,000 was a Capped

Bust 1823/2 overdate quarter, B-1, in NGC MS-61 with Certified Acceptance Corporation sticker. An PCGS MS-65 Full Head 1927S quarter with CAC sticker went for $176,250. This was the second part of a planned series of four Gardner sales. The first two have realized more than $33 million combined. The next two sales will be held in 2015.

Nauvoo, Ill., built by the Mormons By Mark Hotz Some years back I had the opportunity to visit historic Nauvoo, Ill., an early Mormon city. With the advent of the popularity of the Broadway show The Book of Mormon and the recent sale of an extremely rare Nauvoo National Bank Note, I thought it would be an opportune time to present this town to you. Nauvoo had risen on the banks of the Mississippi River in the early 1840s, a promising new city built by zealous and diligent Mormons out of a swampy wasteland. It was also the site of the first great Mormon temple. Members of the Mormon Church fleeing persecution in Missouri founded Nauvoo (whose name derives from the Hebrew for “beautiful place” as well as the Hebrew word for “prophecy”) in 1839. Joseph Smith founded the Mormon Church in Manchester, N.Y., in 1830. Suspicion, jealousy and xenophobia forced the Mormons to migrate westward, first to Kirtland, Ohio, and when chased from there, to Missouri. The Missouri sojourn did not last long either, as the growing size of a community with different beliefs than most Christians produced a conflict with the people of Missouri. After an election riot, Gov. Lilburn W. Boggs said, “Mormons must be exterminated or driven from the state.” A few days later, mobs joined by the Missouri state militia attacked a Mormon settlement killing 20 people in what was called the “massacre at Haun’s Mill.” After this, the Mormons were ordered to leave Missouri. Joseph Smith and some other Mormon leaders agreed to remain under arrest while about 15,000 Missouri Mormons fled to the free state of Illinois where they were welcomed. Joseph Smith selected a site at a large bend of the Mississippi River north of Quincy to be the site of Nauvoo. The non-Mormon residents watched in awe and with just a little jealousy as the hardworking Mormons began to prosper. They dug canals to drain the swampy land, and they built brick houses and structures while most other residents of this area lived in simple log cabins. Within a few years the population reached 12,000, making Nauvoo the largest or second largest city in Illinois (depending on which statistics one considers). 36

Joseph Smith, seen here in a vintage photo, was the founder of the Church of Latter Day Saints and a resident of Nauvoo. He was murdered at the jail in Carthage, Ill., in 1844. This 1840s photo shows the completed Mormon Temple on Temple Hill in Nauvoo.

This contemporary watercolor painting shows the completed Temple at Nauvoo. Compare this picture to the photo of the Temple as it appears today, restored to its original splendor.

Here is the old First National Bank of Nauvoo building as it appears in Nauvoo today, now used by the State Bank of Nauvoo.

Here is a photo taken by the author of the restored Mormon Temple at Nauvoo. The restoration was completed in 2002 using the exact specifications and materials as the original structure.

Insisting upon controlling local institutions, the Mormons assembled the Nauvoo Legion, a well-trained Mormon army provided cannon by Springfield officials eager to court the bloc-voting sect. The Mormons’ exclusive social and economic organization and clum-

sy attempts to influence Illinois politics quickly led to controversy with other Illinoisans. By 1844, Illinois Gov. Thomas Ford had called out the state militia to quell the growing conflict. In June of that Hotz/Page 38

Hotz/from Page 36 year, an anti-Mormon mob rushed the jail holding the Mormon leader Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum and murdered them. Despite the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ineffectual efforts to keep the peace, lawlessness persisted for two years in what has come to be known as the Mormon War. Brigham Young, the new leader of the Mormons at Nauvoo, agreed to leave Illinois but not until the spectacular temple that the Mormons had been building on Nauvoo Hill was complete. When it was finally completed in 1845, most of the Mormons had moved on. The local residents attacked the temple and burned it down in 1846. There was little or no Mormon presence in Nauvoo until recent times, and in 1999 the Mormon Church announced that it would rebuild the great temple at Nauvoo. It was reconstructed on the same site as the original using exactly the same materials and dimensions. This fantastic structure was completed and dedicated in 2002. In 1849, a group known as Icarians moved to the Nauvoo area to establish a utopian socialist commune based on the ideas of French philosopher Etienne Cabet. At its peak, the commune had a population of over 500, but it, like all of the socialist communities established during the 1830s and 1840s, faded into obscurity after the death of its founder. Although many of the early buildings remained, the largely depopulated town drifted into somnolence, only to become a major tourist attraction in the latter years of the 20th century. Nauvoo today is really like two separate towns. It is located on the banks of the Mississippi about 10 miles south of Fort Madison and around 11 miles north of Keokuk, Iowa. The upper town, built on the bluffs overlooking old Nauvoo, grew up after the Mormons had left. The lower town, containing remnants of the original Nauvoo and restored period structures, lies on the banks of the Mississippi River. The restored Mormon Temple stands in gleaming white marble on Temple Square and dominates the area. The town has become quite a tourist attraction, and is a mecca for Mormon visitors and others interested in history. On the corner where Main Street meets Temple Square, I spotted a classic oldstyle bank building that had once been the home of the First National Bank of Nauvoo, which received charter 8998 in 1907. This was a very small bank that operated for 12 years until liquidated in 38

Here is a photo of the Nauvoo House Hotel, the construction of which was made possible by share subscriptions, the certificates for which resembled bank notes. The site is now a historical site in Nauvoo.

This Series of 1902 $20 National Bank Note is the only Nauvoo note to ever be offered a public sale. It is either unique or one of two known, depending on how accurate the census is. Photo courtesy Heritage Auctions.

1919. During that period, it only issued $192,000 worth of national currencyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a very small amount. The business of the bank was taken over by the State Bank of Nauvoo. Just a single note was reported and none were ever available for sale until one turned up and was offered by Heritage Auctions in 2011. It sold for $9,200. I have included a photo of it and a photo of the old bank building as it appears today. Since the National Bank Notes of Nauvoo are virtually non-collectible, persons interested in obtaining a numismatic souvenir of Nauvoo from Mormon days usually had to settle for the remainder notes of the Nauvoo House Association. These were actually circulating share certificates sold in the 1840s to finance the construction of the Nauvoo House, a hotel. The Nauvoo House still stands in Nauvoo today. I have included a photo of the hotel as well as a $50 remainder note issued by the Nauvoo House Association. The temple is well worth a visit to Nauvoo. It is nothing short of spectacular. The building soars 165 feet high and is a landmark for miles around. The most

amazing thing about it is to imagine how it must have dominated the area in 1845. I have included a photo showing the temple circa 1846, a contemporary watercolor of the temple, and my own photo of the reconstructed temple as it appears today. No visit to Nauvoo would be complete without a stop at the Nauvoo LDS Visitor Center and Museum where one can see a film on the life of Joseph Smith and watch a live musical performance about the Mormons in Nauvoo. Many early structures have been reconstructed including the Joseph Smith homestead, Brigham Young House, and other homes and businesses. I must say that during my short visit to Nauvoo, virtually everyone I encountered went out of his or her way to be friendly and helpful. Although I arrived at the Nauvoo LDS Visitor Center almost at closing time, they arranged to have the film on the life of Joseph Smith screened for me, and I was the only one in the theater. The film was very interesting and provided a lot of information that I had not known previously.

Two new books in the spotlight By Neil Shafer This month’s column is devoted to a discussion of two newly released books, one on Russian notes and the other on U.S. large-size currency. The first volume I wish to bring to your attention is the seventh and last in a series of similar catalogs by a great Russian numismatic researcher and cataloger, Mischa Istomin. His amazing volumes cover a multitude of note issues from the momentous Russian Revolution of the 1917-1924 period. These books have opened up the field to collectors everywhere who speak English, as they are all bilingual. Their coverage is as follows: • Volume I - Northern and Northwestern Regions of Russia, Baltic States, Central Region and Byelorussia; • Volume II - Part 1 Ukraine, and Part 2 Western Ukraine; • Volume III - Southeastern Region with Crimea, and North Caucasus; • Volume IV - Transcaucasia; • Volume V - Turkestan Provinces, Bukhara and Khiva; • Volume VI - Volga and Ural Provinces, Siberia (Part 1) and Far East (Part 2). This last Volume VII covers RussianRelated Currency Notes in China including general, specialized and private issues. Interest in Chinese notes of all sorts has mushroomed to unprecedented heights in recent years, and this catalog will only serve to increase such interest as it provides explanations for many pieces already in the spotlight. Some of these notes have appeared in recent auctions and are bringing record prices. One major component of all of

The Russo-Chinese Bank began issuing notes in 1898. Issues for the Peking Branch were made from 1903 to 1914. This $5 1903 image is from a color copy made around 1985. Its catalog number is 011. All notes from this bank are acknowledged rarities.

This one-ruble note is nominally listed as catalog No. 182-2, an issue from the Club of Union of Office Workers in Harbin. This variety is Series B and its expiration date is Jan. 1, 1920. Its size is smaller than that given for the initial listing of the one-ruble note, so it may be a previously unlisted variety.

Shafer/Page 42

Sports were apparently an important part of life in Harbin. This three rubles was issued by the Club of Harbin Sportsmen Society as part of an issue of notes extending from one to 100 rubles. The catalog number of this note is 191, and it is not illustrated. All notes from this issue that I have seen (one through 10 rubles) are made with paper attached to cloth.

The Harbin Commercial Assembly was a place where musical and theatrical performances were given. It opened in 1901. This 25 rubles note, catalog No. 259, is from its note issue; lower values are illustrated in the catalog.

Shafer/from Page 40 Istominâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogs is that they provide

detailed coverage of all the historical facts behind the evolution of the issues presented. Volume VII is no exception; the introductory sections go up to p. 49. There

Another sports group is represented by an issue of notes that are listed in the catalog but not illustrated. This 10 rubles is from that issue, and it was sponsored by the Harbin Society of Equestrian Sport; catalog number is 284.

To see how easy the catalog is to use, I took this National Currency $1 Original Series issued by the National Bank of the Republic, Philadelphia, on May 1, 1866 and looked it up. In Chapter Nine covering this note in general I found that it is from a group with a fairly strong survival rating. In Chapter 12 I found its listing by denomination and state.

Shafer/from Page 42 how the author could have located all these pieces, many of which I had never seen before. Their inclusion is more than enough reason to obtain this book. Another major accomplishment of this book is the compilation of information and illustrations of so many hitherto obscure local issues. In previous volumes Istomin has avoided getting into details

The $2 Silver Certificate dated 1899 is my favorite as its design served as a model for the Philippine 10 pesos Silver Certificate of 1903 that also features a smaller portrait of Washington at center.

about these kinds of issues, but here he has gone after them as a major section of his research. Many of them have no value guides, so you do not know what the Russian collectors’ opinions of collectibility and value are. But one thing you can gain from such listings is sure—that they are exceedingly difficult to obtain at any price. Anyone wishing to add this volume to his library should contact the author by e-mail at istomin1956@rambler.ru direct.

Demand Notes of 1861 are all extremely rare. This image is from a color copy made around 1990 of a proof face and back. Proofs are not listed as such, although mention is made of some of them.

Interest Bearing Notes are among the most difficult to study as examples are so few and far between. Some years ago I was in brief possession of a representative sampling and was able to obtain color copies. Here is an image of one of those notes, a lovely $50 piece made under the Act of March 3, 1863. It was issued with three coupons as shown. Eight issued examples are known.

Note of the Month Neil Shafer

Many collectors are more or less familiar with the story of Emperor Norton I, who lived in San Francisco during the later years of his life. Joshua Abraham Norton was born in England on Sept. 17, 1819. He was a businessman during his earlier years. He came to San Francisco in 1849 with a tidy sum that he used for investment in the local rice market. Just as he was about to cash in, two ships laden with rice arrived and caused him to go bankrupt. This occurrence affected him to the point that he became irrational. It was apparent that he had lost his sense of reason as well as his identity. In 1859 he proclaimed himself “Norton I, Emperor of the United States,” adding “Protector of Mexico” to his title a little later. He was good-naturedly accepted by the city. His needs were given freely, and he had the “keys to the city” in effect. Sporadic paper money issued by him was for small denominations that were accepted by the population. He died from apoplexy on Jan. 8, 1880. Many thousands of people attended his regal funeral. The piece shown here bears no resemblance to any genuine notes Norton issued. It is dated “Issue of 1953” and I cannot figure out why. It does not coincide with any anniversary of anything pertaining to Norton that I can ascertain. I believe the San Francisco Chronicle backed him in many ways; that is why it is mentioned on the back. If anyone has any information as to the background of this “Gold Crown” I would appreciate knowing about it. You can always write to me at nelsshaf@aol.com.

Large-Size Notes, 1861-1929. This most impressive large octavo softbound tome provides a thorough treatment of all U.S. Federal issues from the designated years, with illustrations in full color throughout. While the authors have come up with a numbering system of their own, they do include the well-known and widely used Friedberg numbers for each variety. The one feature about this finely presented catalog that impresses me the most is the extremely detailed introduction. The first 12 pages contain a wealth of information on every aspect of the facts behind each different issue of large-size U.S. paper money. Star notes, mules, signatures, errors, fancy serial numbers—all that and more is included. I cannot imagine better coverage in any other volume. The arrangement allows for easy use in finding the type and variety of note one may be trying to locate. The authors have made extensive use of research data provided by a number of highly placed specialists in their respective areas. The result is a great concentration of facts all gathered together in one place. As mentioned previously, practically all illustrations are in color, which of course is the best way to help describe the notes. Not too many years ago such a book with notes in color could not have been published. These images are really beautiful and serve to enhance greatly the appearance and total value of the catalog. Value guides are provided where possible throughout all listings. While they seem a little optimistic to me, I must admit that I have not kept up with the demands of the market, and these values may be fully justified. Rarity is given where values are not possible to give. I would consider this outstanding catalog a “must have” for anyone seriously interested in really getting to know these notes. It is available from Carlson R. Chambliss at crchamblis@verizon.net for $35 postpaid. His address is P.O. Box 804, Kutztown PA 19530.

Queen Anne united Scotland and England By Kerry Rodgers The result of the recent Scots referendum has assured that “Brandy Nan,” a.k.a. Queen Anne, still sleeps peacefully in her grave – at least for now. This year marks 300 years since the death of Queen Anne. She is an important monarch. Not only was she the first monarch of Great Britain, but the last of the Stuarts. In her short reign she achieved more than all the rest of the Stuart dynasty put together. It was during her watch that, after years of inconclusive bickering, England and Scotland were united as a single sovereign state, the Kingdom of Great Britain. And it was she who extracted Britain from an expensive and seemingly never-ending European war despite opposition from her Parliament. From a numismatic point of view Anne’s mintmaster was Sir Isaac Newton. He ensured the quality of her coinage. He put Britain on a de facto gold standard, upping the value of a guinea from 20 shillings to 21 shillings in the process. To mark Anne’s life and the tercentenary of her death the Royal Mint has struck a £5 coin. The reverse by sculptor Mark Richards, shows her portrait styled as for an 18th century miniature surrounded by an elaborate frame that incorporates her 1707 Royal Arms. It is a most appropriate successor to the coins of Queen Anne, a remarkable series whose collectors require deep pockets. Younger princess Anne was born in 1665, the younger daughter of James II. Her uncle was Charles II. Having the right religion was everything in the 17th century and it was Charles who insisted Anne be raised as a Protestant. The English have never been picky about the gender of their monarch. All they quibble about is their religion and who takes precedence over whom. As a result England has been ruled by a brace of Elizabeths, a couple of Marys and one each of an Anne and a Victoria. It was Charles II too who decided on Anne’s marriage in 1683 to suitably protestant Prince George of Denmark. Despite it being an arranged marriage the two were to prove lifelong devoted partners. In 1685 Charles died. He had no legitimate children and his Catholic brother 50

took the throne as James II of England and James VII of Scotland. Their religious differences soon saw Anne and her father estranged. In due course Anne’s brother-in-law, William of Orange, invaded England and set in train the Glorious Revolution. This

Anne/from Page 50 Mary’s death William would succeed to the throne, Anne’s claim was much stronger than William’s. Eventually Anne was stripped of her guard of honor, courtiers were forbidden to visit her and civic authorities were instructed to ignore her. She left her royal residence and went to live in the Duke of Devonshire’s Berkeley House in Piccadilly. Marlboroughs Part of Mary and William’s concern was Anne’s close friendship with John Churchill and his hot-tempered, scheming wife Sarah. Churchill had been a senior officer in James II’s army but had switched sides at a critical time to support William. His reward saw him created the Earl of Marlborough. He would subsequently command all troops and militia in England. For years Sarah and Anne were very close friends. The Marlboroughs’ relationship with William and Mary was also strained. In 1692 it reached the point where Marlborough was relieved of all his posts and offices, both civil and military. He was forbidden access to the court and later arrested and sent to the Tower for suspected treason. Sarah was ejected from court but maintained her intimate friendship with Anne with both supporting one another in their mutual exile. Princess-in-waiting Then in 1694 Mary died. William and Anne reconciled publicly. He restored all her honors. He allowed her to live in St. James’s Palace and gave her Mary’s jewels. However he excluded her from government and never appointed her regent when he went abroad. On Jan. 25, 1700, Anne miscarried for the last time. She and George had done their best to ensure a Stuart succession. She had been pregnant at least 17 times. On 12 occasions she had miscarried. Four of her live-born children had died by the age of two. Her only son to survive infancy, Prince William, died at age 11. The absence of heirs from Mary, Anne or William saw Parliament move in 1701 to preclude any chance of a Catholic succession. Sophia, Electress of Hannover was declared to be next in line as granddaughter of James I, through his daughter – and her mother, Elizabeth of Bohemia, the sister of Anne’s grandfather Charles I. 52

Anne may have been William’s heirapparent but it was recognized that she suffered from severe health issues. Crippling gout rendered her sedentary. She used a wheelchair or was carried around court in a sedan. On her estates she drove a one-horse chaise, “furiously like Jehu and a mighty hunter like Nimrod.” She gained weight and became, “exceeding gross and corpulent.” First monarch of Great Britain Nonetheless, following William’s death on March 8, 1702, Anne became queen. She was crowned on St. George’s Day, April 23, 1702. Her popularity was assured from her first speech to Parliament when she tacitly acknowledged the end of the former highly unpopular Dutch connection: … “I know my heart to be entirely English. I can very sincerely assure you there is not anything you can expect or desire

from me which I shall not be ready to do for the happiness and prosperity of England.” And it was all change at high level: Anne appointed her beloved Prince George as Lord High Admiral of the Royal Navy. Marlborough got back control of the army as Captain-General and at long last was created a Knight of the Garter and elevated to a dukedom. And Sarah became Groom of the Stole, Mistress of the Robes and Keeper of the Privy Purse. Marlborough merited Anne’s faith in him in 1704 by devastating the French army in general and Louis XIV in particular. France lost 30,000 of its best infantry killed and 10,000 forced to surrender. In happed at Blindheim in Bohemia. The history of the crushing victory is not helped by the English insisting on calling the place Blenheim. Anne rewarded Marlborough and Sarah

with a new family home: Blenheim Palace, the crown jewel in the Churchill family estate – and we all know who was born there in 1874. The building is an on-going monument to French humiliation. The entrance features a ducal coronet set atop a cannonball that is crushing a fleur-de-lis. And each year, even today, the Churchill-Marlborough family deliver their annual payment of a fleurde-lis banner to their monarch. On ascending to her thrones Anne had sought the political integration of the two kingdoms. However, the cross-border stormy debate and political drama continued unabated as it had since 1603 when James VI of Scotland became the James I of England. In 1705 Anne had had enough. She gave both her Scots and English officials the hurry-up. A year later she was presented with of the necessary articles to ratify the union of both her thrones as a single kingdom. When these were consented to by the respective Parliaments in 1707 Anne became the first monarch of Great Britain. There would not only be one Parliament but all weights, measures and coinage would be standardized between the two former separate countries. Queen Anne’s coins Copper coins of Anne exist only as pattern halfpennies and farthings, but there were substantial issues of gold and silver coins. Two main types exist: those struck before union of England and Scotland (1702-1707) and those stuck after (1707-1714), with the denominations remaining the same. In gold: 5 guineas, 2 guineas, guinea and half guinea. In silver: crown, halfcrown, shilling, sixpence and Maundy groat, threepence, half-groat and penny. The weight and fineness of gold and silver remained the same as those prescribed in 1670 for Charles II. The main difference in the coins before and after union appears in the four shields shown on the reverse. Before union the shields of England and Scotland are shown separately. After union the two are joined; “impaled” is the heraldic term. The shield of Nassau found on coins of William III, and denoting his connection with the Dutch House of Orange, is omitted. On the pre-union 5 guineas and some silver this shield is replaced by a Tudor rose. Post-union the Star of the

Choice VF Queen Anne VIGO crown of 1703, S3576, KM-519.1. The pre-union striking of this coin is shown by the English and Scottish arms on the reverse being separate. The silver used came from the 4,504 pounds 2 ounces of silver (and 7 pounds 8 ounces and 13 pennyweight of gold) delivered to the Master of the Mint, Sir Isaac Newton, following capture of the Spanish treasure fleet and destruction of its French defenders at the Battle of Vigo Bay. The edge is inscribed TERTIO. Image www.ha.com. Garter supplants the rose. The 5 guineas of 1706 bears the postunion reverse. It is the sole 1706-dated coin to do so. This arose from these coins being struck in March 1707 following Queen Anne giving her consent to the union. However, as far as the mint year was concerned, it was still 1706. The edge marking on the coins also provides a trap for new collectors. All silver and gold coins are edge marked with the Latin tag: DECVS ET TVTAMEN plus the regnal year given as SECVNDO, TERTIO, QVARTO, etc. The edge date was changed on the anniversary of the Queen’s accession. As a consequence on some coins the regnal year date appears out of step with the calendar date. A 5 guineas of 1705 shows QVARTO whereas 1705 silver shows QVINTO. The 5-guinea pieces were struck early in 1705 when the queen was still in her fourth year of her reign. The silver was struck later in 1705 when the queen had moved into her fifth year. At least 31 of the dies used for Anne’s coins were cut solely by master-engraver John (Johann) Crocker. He had overall responsibility for the remainder but Samuel Bull assisted with many of these. Queen Anne’s busts Crocker was a Saxon master jeweler who migrated to London where he became a medalist. He worked for several provincial mints and in 1695 became an assistant of the Royal Mint’s chief engraver, Henry Harris, and worked alongside James and John Roettier. He cut dies for the coins of William

III and when Anne ascended to the throne in1702 his first task was to produce the traditional coronation medal. Subsequently, he cut the master dies for the obverses of all of the four gold and the eight circulating silver coins of Anne plus the two copper. When Harris died in 1704, Croker petitioned Lord Godolphin, Lord High Treasurer of England, to succeed Harris. He was appointed to the position on April 7, 1705, holding it until his death in 1741. For Anne’s 5 guineas he produced two bust types. The first he based on a portrait of the Queen by Sir Godfrey Kneller. The second is of coarser quality and may be the work of Samuel Bull. For the 2 guineas struck between 1709 and 1714 Crocker cut just one bust designed by Kneller. Just one KnellerCrocker design appears on the half guinea but the guinea used three bust varieties, one from Kneller and two of Crocker. For the silver coins Crocker executed three bust types for the crown, one for the halfcrown, four for the shilling, one for the sixpence and one for a copper farthing. It is not clear whether Crocker or Bull produced the obverse dies for the Maundy fourpence, threepence, twopence and penny. In vetting the bust designs Anne objected to the customary undraped bust and instructed that she appear suitably and tastefully clothed. Queen Anne’s engraver Crocker was probably sole engraver of four of seven reverse die types of the 5 Anne/Page 54

www.numismaticnews.com / November 25, 2014

Anne/from Page 53 guineas, at least one each of the guineas, and one of the half guineas. In the silver he was solely responsible for one each of the crown, halfcrown, shilling and sixpence. For the remainder of the reverse dies Crocker was probably assisted by Bull. In addition Crocker made additions to the dies such as VIGO below Anne’s bust to indicate the silver and gold used had been captured from the Spanish at Vigo Bay. The royal warrant authorizing this addition commented, “which inscription we intend as a mark of distinction from the rest of our gold and silver moneys to continue to posterity the remembrance of that glorious action.” An elephant and castle was added to show coins struck by bullion provided by the Africa Company. Plumes in the reverse angles indicate the silver used came from Wales or Derbyshire, while both plumes and roses designate silver derived from smelting lead with “Pitcoale and Seacoale.” Given that Quakers were prominent owners of some of the mines involved, this silver became known as “Quaker’s money.” Distinctive Scottish 5-shilling and 10-shillings coins for Anne were engraved and struck at the Edinburgh Mint in 1705 and 1706. These have been attributed to Clerk or Cave. They commonly bear an “E” or “E” plus star on the obverse below the bust. Following union the denomination of gold and silver coins used throughout the new United Kingdom was standardized. The mint in Edinburgh now operated under the same rules as that in England, but no gold coins were struck in Edinburgh after 1706. Following his appointment as chief engraver, Croker had received permission to issue medals on his own account. During his tenure at the Mint the striking of commemorative medals reached an extremely high level in both numbers and quality. In all Crocker executed 29 different medals during Anne’s reign. In 1713 several dies were made at the mint for a copper halfpenny and farthing. All the dies were prepared by John Crocker. Patterns were struck in gold, silver and copper for both denominations. Of three different halfpennies, the best known shows a rose and thistle growing from a single stem on the reverse. A second has Britannia seated in what would become her typical coinage pose. Both types can be found with and without a crown. 54

Before and after: Queen Anne’s coat of arms prior to union were the Stuart royal arms used since 1603: Quarterly; I and IV grandquarterly, Azure three fleurs-de-lis Or [for France] and Gules three lions passant guardant in pale Or [for England]; II, Or, a lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory Gules [for Scotland]; III, Azure, a harp Or stringed Argent [for Ireland]. On coming to the throne Anne adopted the motto SEMPER EADEM [always the same] used by Queen Elizabeth I. In 1707 the union was heraldically expressed by placing the arms of England and Scotland side-by-side in the same quarter – what is known in heraldry as impalement. Thus the new arms became: Quarterly; I and IV, Gules three lions passant guardant in pale Or [for England] impaling Or a lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory Gules [for Scotland]; II, Azure, three fleurs-de-lis Or [for France]; III, Azure, a harp Or stringed Argent [for Ireland]. Like all her predecessors since Edward III (and a couple of her successors) Anne laid claim to the throne of France. Images ex Sodacan, Wikipedia Commons. Three main reverse types are known for the farthing: Britannia seated with hand raised, Britannia seated within a portico, Britannia driving a chariot while brandishing an olive branch and scepter. The latter carries the legend PAX MISSA PER ORBEM and refers to the Peace of Utrecht. Numerous varieties are known, particularly of the farthing. All of Anne’s copper coins were struck after her death. All became desirable numismatic items from the 18th century.

She was having trouble walking at all. She was horrendously overweight. By Christmas she was feverish. Her doctors bled her all too frequently. In July 1714 she suffered a stroke. Her death on Aug. 1, 1714, released her from a life of ill health and tragedy. One of her doctors wrote to Jonathan Swift, “I believe sleep was never more welcome to a weary traveler than death was to her.” It took 14 men to carry her coffin.

Then why do CAC stickered coins bring a premium? While it is true that CAC-veriﬁed coins bring a premium in the market, the “little green” sticker is not what adds the value. Truth is, with or without a CAC sticker, a quality coin will always bring a premium.

550,000

CAC has evaluated over 450,000 coins with a market value over $ 2.4 $2.0 billion. Only those coins which meet stringent standards for quality billion within a grade are awarded a sticker. That is why CAC stickered coins bring a premium - they are placed on only quality coins. What’s more, CAC is a powerful market maker for its stickered coins. In fact, CAC has recently purchased over $300,000,000 worth of coins.

$340,000,0

CAC Stickers Do Not Add Value!

So the CAC sticker does not add value - It is just an easy way to identify coins that are solid for the grade. And it gives you conﬁdence in the value of a coin.
