CCAC recommends designs
By Debbie Bradley
Designs for coins that will honor Ronald
Reagan, the United States’ 40th president,
and Mark Twain, a novelist and humorist, were recommended when the Citizens
Coinage Advisory Committee met March 5
in Portland, Ore.
Reagan’s portrait will appear on the 2016
Presidential $1 coin.
CCAC Chairman Gary Marks said the
committee voted 7 to 2 with one abstention
to support design No. 1, a forward facing
portrait of a smiling Reagan. The committee
had eight designs to choose from.
There were more design candidates for the

Poor-1 coins not easy
By Connor Falk
Poor-1 (PO-1) is the lowest grade a coin
can be, where the coin is little more than a
metal disk. So why are collectors going after
these badly worn coins?
Greg Allen, owner of Greg Allen Coins,
St. Paul, Minn., said that collectors enjoy the
challenge of finding PO-1 coins.
“I tell people to try collecting it yourself,”
he said. “If you think it’s so easy, you try it.
Michael Hoyman’s PCGS PO-1 1878 eight tail feathers
Morgan dollar from his End of the Trail VII Collection.
It’s really difficult to find PO-1 coins.”
Not just any well-worn coin can grade
PO-1, he said.

CPMX beats weather
By Robert R. Van Ryzin
Weather-related travel delays impacted
dealer attendance at this year’s Chicago Paper
Money Expo, March 5-8, in Rosemont, Ill.,
but they didn’t dampen the spirits of most who
attended the popular paper money outing.
Now in its 21st year, the 2015 CPMX was
held at the Crowne Plaza O’Hare and kicked
off on Thursday, March 5, with dealer setup

Young and old enjoyed the hunt at CPMX. At right,

Lute, who collects notes with birds on them.

Quarter output leaps in 2015
By David C. Harper
For the Chinese it is the Year of the
Sheep (Goat), but for the U.S. Mint, it
might be called the year of the quarter.
Production numbers are ramping up
from last year.
During the first two months of 2015,
667.6 million quarters have come off the
presses. This compares to just 356 million
in the first two months of 2014.

America’s Oldest and Most Accomplished Rare Coin Auctioneer
Mark Twain coins spark TV memory
Who doesn’t like Mark Twain? I decided to ask the question in this space as I was
looking at the many possible 2016 coin
designs that were recently reviewed by the
Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.
(See the story on Page 1.)
We will find out Twain’s standing
among collectors when the commemorative silver dollar and $5 gold piece that
honor the writer and humorist go on sale.
In a way, each coin sale will be a vote of
support for Twain.
I remember Hal Holbrook’s “Mark
Twain Tonight.” I watched it on television
many years ago. I looked it up online and
discovered it on YouTube. It was from
1967. I watched a couple of minutes and
remembered why I enjoyed it so much.
Now if the Mint could only produce
technologically advanced coins, the
designs would be scannable and they
would take you to that particular video,
or at least to some video to explain the
historical significance of the person being
honored. Someday our commemoratives
Class of
’63
David C. Harper
will routinely do this.
Twain still captures my admiration.
Imagine words written over a century
ago and performed a half century ago still
seeming fresh, interesting and on target?
The late 19th century and early 20 century
saw Americans as cynical about the way
things were as present Americans are.
Perhaps some new humorist will come
along to persuade us all to laugh at our
predicaments as Twain did.
But there are going to be so many
demands on collector funds next year that
even Twain might not be a strong enough
historical figure to attract as many coin
buyers as he would in another less congested year.
Next year we will see gold coins using
the old Mercury dime, Standing Liberty
quarter and Walking Liberty half dollar
designs. Collectors will probably be more
excited about these than about Twain. But
the coins with the old designs will be made
of gold. Gold is expensive. Many collectors will be priced out of this market.
Perhaps sales of the Twain silver dollar
will benefit as collectors look for a more
affordable alternative.
Surcharges on the Twain commemoratives will go to four different institutions.
Sharing the $35 surcharge on each gold
coin sold and $10 on each silver dollar will
be he Mark Twain House and Museum in
Hartford, Conn.; the Mark Twain Project
at the University of California–Berkeley;
Elmira College in New York State, and
Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum
in Hannibal, Mo.
Maximum mintages are reasonable at
100,000 gold and 350,000 silver dollars.
If all are sold, the four entities will split
$7 million.
Twain could probably make surcharges
funny. I can’t.

Current coin designs
lack inventiveness
In regard to Jack Nugent’s comments
in “Viewpoint” from the March 10 issue
of Numismatic News, I have this to say:
“Go Jack, go!” While I don’t agree with
all of what Jack had to say, his passion
for the subject of United States coinage
design is appreciated.
Renowned numismatist C.H.V.
Sutherland (who wrote volumes of Roman
Imperial Coinage, among other scholarly
works) had these profound words to say in

his 1956 book, Art in Coinage:
“...it is perfectly true that at certain
periods its standard [coin design] has
fallen to an undistinguished or frankly
dull level: technical skill, for one reason
or another, can quickly decay and – far
more dangerous – political pressure or
the frozen hand of convention can cramp
experiment and kill inventiveness.”
It is unfortunate, but true, that we in
America currently live in one of those
“certain periods” where “the frozen hand
of convention” has a mighty grip on our
coinage design.
Jeff Reichenberger

How long before we don’t
need coins?
We gave up our balmy 75 degree temperatures in Orlando, Fla., to travel to
Brigantine, N.J., to care for grandchildren
while their parents are traveling.
Yesterday while my son-in-law was
paddle boarding in the ocean (head to toe
wet suit), I took a walk down the beach
and found 93 cents on top of the sand.
Three quarters, three nickels, and three
cents (what happened to the dimes?). While
not much money, it was a lot of fun.
I had to wonder if my grandchildren
would be able to experience the same fun
when they are my age. My 6-year-old
granddaughter, who is in the first grade
here, already pays for her lunch and snacks
at school with just her finger print. I cannot imagine what technology she will have
access to when she is in her 60’ (like me!),
but I can bet there won’t be as many coins
around to be spent or laying on the beach.
On the bright side however, there is
allegedly still a treasure to be found on this
island that was left by the pirate Captain
Kidd, and not too many years ago a fellow
walking his dog found some Spanish silver
coins from the 1700s. So there’s hope!
There is only one coin shop here (rarely

VIEWPOINT
Know biases of those who advise
By Michael Searle
I’m sure P. T. Barnum smiles down
from his portrait on the office wall of many
numismatic/bullion columnists and salesmen, for their very existence is proof that
indeed “there’s a sucker born every minute.”
Several years ago a mass-mailing from
a Minnesota-based company offered 25
years of U.S. mint sets for $594, when
identical sets were available from numerous reputable sources for around $185.
A call to the Better Business Bureau
in St. Paul revealed numerous complaints
about this company. A response from the
company’s Customer Relations director
tried to defend an indefensible position
by saying that their custom packaging,
historical brochures, and “other information of interest to collectors” justified the
$400 price difference.
Imagine the shock and dismay when
those foolish enough to purchase from this
company go to sell their “investment sets.”
Caveat emptor (let the buyer beware).
Recent commentary on numismatic/
bullion investment seems to have degenerated into dire warnings that the economy
is on the verge of catastrophic collapse, so
we all better stock up on bullion in anticipation of the coming financial apocalypse.
I am the first to concede that gold and
silver have held value across countless
cultures and civilizations over thousands
of years. But I would strongly caution
against investing hard-earned dollars
solely based on delusional denials of the
current U.S. economic recovery coming
from someone who can’t go three sentences without bashing the current U.S.
president or the evil government that is
out to fool the public with deceptive and
misleading reports.
Simply stated, my view is this: we all
need to watch for hidden agendas among
those who would give us advice on where
to invest and what to buy. There are obvious
political and financial agendas advanced
by those who insist the U.S. economy is
going to hell in a handbasket despite a tsunami of evidence to the contrary.
A columnist who sells bullion for a
living has an obvious financial interest
in telling people the sky is falling and
the only safe place to be is hard assets.
Likewise, a columnist who wants to kick
President Obama and the Democrats to
the curb in favor of his Tea Party patriots
is not going to give you an unbiased opinion of how the government is handling the
economy. And lest I be labeled a liberal
Democrat crying foul, I am a moderate
Republican who didn’t vote for Obama
either time.

Pricing not always logical
Price guides have always been popular
in my time in numismatics.
Knowing what something is worth is
crucial information.
But the logic of pricing can sometimes
seem strange or even nonsensical. It probably shouldn’t even be called logic.
An email question arrived the other
day.
It reads:
“Why is a 1995-S Proof-65 dime listed
at $20 in the NN monthly price guide yet
the entire 1995-S standard proof set is
listed at $11?
“This is only one example of numerous dates where one coin is listed more
than the entire set. I could understand if
the reference were between uncirculated
coins and mint sets because there is no
guarantee that the coins in a mint set will
e-letters
grade MS-65, but for individual proof
coins not to grade PF-65 is not reasonable.”
This is a good question.
It must be remembered that the price
guide is comprised of retail prices.
It has been standard operating procedure in the last 50 years and probably longer to assign values for individual proof
coins that are higher when combined than
the cost of the whole set.
Like a grocery store, this is in part a
volume discount.
It is easier to sell a complete proof set
than coins individually.
In the old days, each coin had to be
separately packed and marketed.
Nowadays there is the step of adding
third-party grading service costs to the
price of each coin.
A 1995-S Proof-65 dime has been
graded by a third-party grading service.
This is the assumption of price guides.
The proof set has not been so graded
by a third-party.
It may seem logical to declare that
every coin in a proof set is MS-65, but it
is not a certainty.
A dime in a proof set could have toned
badly, or have a carbon spot on it or have
been slightly damaged in the packaging
process.
Or the dime could be Proof-67.
However, without that third-party seal
of approval, the dime will not command
the third-party Proof-65 price.
Buyers with hard cash do not make
assumptions. Like the detectives on the
old “Dragnet” TV series, they want just
the facts and pay accordingly.
from the March 6 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.
Have you ever traded or sold a coin to acquire another?
Yes, I have either sold or traded coins.
I sell coins I bought several years ago and
use that money to buy better coins to put
into my coin albums. I have finally been
able to update all my key Lincoln and
have gone from a XF-40 1909-S VDB to
my current ANACS MS-60. It has helped
to be able to buy at a good price a few
years ago and still sell at a good price
today. It is a win/win for buyer and seller.
Bob Kelley Worthington, Minn.
Yes many times as I am always on the
lookout for better quality/grade coins
and currency.
Richard Beringer Tyndall, S.D.
Back around 2007 or so (can’t recall
exactly), gold was around $400/oz. I purchased several mainly bullion value gold
12
U.S. coins. I also had an interest in $2-1/2
gold. I watched the price of gold edge up
more and more, and eventually my common date coins values came to five to six
times what I had in them, and I started
looking at better $2-1/2 coins.
I fell in love with an 1876-S MS-62
that Doug Winter had for sale. I sold off
a $20, $10, and two $5s and bought the
1876-S. I really like the coin and feel like
I got a bargain, because I only had around
$800 in the coins I sold, and they were
then worth roughly $3,400, around the
asking price for the 1876-S.
Another straight swap was two $5 and
two $2 1/2, all common date XF - AU, for
a really neat 1806 PCGS quarter.
I’ve done a few others, but these two
are my best deals. All because I accidentally bought a few thousand dollars worth
of gold coins at a really opportune time.
Jesse Morgan Daleville, Ind.
I can easily assume that during a
collector’s lifetime of interest in his/her
hobby, the temptation to sell an asset to
get a more desirable one, will always
come into the equation.
A decade or so ago, I was fortunate to
discover, by sheer chance, a small cache
of unsold, limited issue (approx 30,000)
of 1 oz. .995 silver Millennium (2000)
proof Australian coins languishing in the
back-room of a local post office which
had a showcase numismatic and philatelic outlet.
The metal presentation cases included
their numbered certifications from the
Perth Mint, so I prevailed on the manager
to start wrapping them for me and to wait
for a few minutes while I swiped my
plastic in the nearest ATM in the mall. I
had noted the price for the five on offer
was still at the original Perth Mint release
price of AUD$59 each.
It was a double victory in that the
coin was one I really wanted, and I knew
the secondary market price had risen
appreciatively since the issue had been
released.
To balance my finances, after paying
the required money for the total purchase
price of near AUD$300, I eventually sold
off a couple of spare .999 silver proof
Kookaburra coins I had held since the
early 1990s.
Two of the Millennium spares were
on-sold to other friendly collectors I alerted at the ruling catalog price of AUD$95
each at the time and another was swapped
for several desirable Canadian silver carded commemorative proof coins that we
haggled over!
The current catalog price has now stabilized at about AUD$195 each, however,
there may be a little variance in market price if quantities of good examples
become available from of a dealer’s cabinet or by auction.
These Millennium proofs are now
virtually unobtainable on the market, so
my friends got a bargain, in retrospect,
and I made a nice little profit that I was
happy with.

I traded five 1970 U.S. mint sets
and $10 to purchase a 1972 doubled die
Lincoln cent.
The coin was $101 in AU in 1972.
Dick Ernst Bossier City, La.
Of course. I have sold coins and collections several times and continued to
collect. Any collection worth collecting
can’t be put together easily. Unless you
have unlimited finances, you sometimes
have to sell coin “A” to be able to buy
coin “B” and coin “C.” As I have often
said, I don’t need to own them all at the
same time.
Bill Eckberg West Palm Beach
Unfortunately, many a time; and a few
I wish had back
Wesley Ellis Portland, Ore.
By all means, yes! Anyone who is
a seasoned collector has done this several times, especially me. Tastes change
as well as what one should collect.
Sometimes, even down sizing is good,
in size of one’s collection. An example is
trading in rolls of common wheat cents
for a page of higher grade cents. I’ve even
traded up to a few large cents as well (my
birth year). An additional example is a
Viewpoint/from Page 7
Some of these purported experts have admittedly had success in the past predicting financial events. However, my grandmother correctly predicted that we’d have a black President
within her lifetime; she also predicted we’d all have flying cars
within her lifetime. At what point do we stop paying attention
to one-hit wonders who are becoming increasingly irrational
and inaccurate?
One columnist recently went so far as to suggest the U.S.
government may be getting ready to seize the assets of U.S.
citizens. Sure, precious metals will skyrocket if the feds start
taking control of our assets; they will also skyrocket in the
financial mayhem that would follow if all taxes are abolished,
but I would not present either one as a plausible scenario. This
columnist links the genesis of his conspiracy theory thinking
to a long-discredited proposal by an obscure professor to a
Congressional subcommittee in 2008. Mind you, this was not a
bill that nearly passed both houses of Congress. Private citizens
present crazy ideas to the feds all the time, but it is not fair or
accurate to make the quantum leap that the feds are about to
steal our IRAs.
Sadly, most of the bullion commentary these days is of the
doom and gloom variety, advancing hidden (or not so hidden)
agendas on the part of the writers. I understand that for commentary to be noticed, to attract attention, it must have a strong
100th anniversary year of one’s birth is
a nice addition to it for retirement sake.
Perhaps other countries coinage can be an
add on for a reasonable rate..

I traded an 1891 CC Fine, but slightly bent, Morgan dollar for an 1891 CC
AU Morgan dollar. All in all, a very
good trade.
Paul Neuville Address withheld
Yes I have. Years ago I traded, with a
dealer, two 1964 mint sets for a VF 1931S Lincoln cent.
Jim Guy Address withheld
You bet. In the late 1960s and the early
1970s as I was leaving my teen years and
entering my 20s, I would buy proof and
mint sets from the U.S. Mint and turn
around and trade them off for the things
that I needed. This is how I financed my
collection at a young age. I still do this
today.
William Izzo Saginaw, Mich.
I never exchanged or sold a coin for
acquiring another one

point of view. My strong point of view is that the prevailing
commentary is hopelessly one-sided. Reasonable, moderate
voices go largely unnoticed or have been silenced. Kitco used
to have a writer named Jon Nadler, who tried to keep the bullion discussion based on facts, but it seems he was unpopular
with the bullion crowd for trying to base his commentary on
(gasp) boring facts rather than sensational radical nonsense.
I’m not saying that now is necessarily a bad time to invest in
precious metals – it makes sense to buy while everyone else is
swooning over record stock prices and no one is paying attention to gold and silver. We simply need to be investing at the
right time for the right reason. There are other voices out there
beyond the strident pro-bullion crowd. David Ganz provided a
thought-provoking article in Numismatic News (Dec. 24, 2013)
that compared 35 years of returns for 1978-2013: gold was up
5.35 percent a year, silver up 3.96 percent a year, but the Dow
was up 8.4 percent a year over the same period.
The bottom line is, you owe it to yourself and your financial future to do your homework thoroughly before investing.
Beware of hidden financial or political agendas from “expert”
columnists. Numismatic News readers should seek complete,
accurate and unbiased information upon which to base their
collecting and investing choices.
Caveat emptor.

open) in Brigantine (an island suburb of
Atlantic City), and when I caught the owner
on my last trip here he told me that it is a
“buy only” coin shop. I understand he has
another shop somewhere else where he does
sell coins.
So while I am indeed going through
some coin withdrawal pains, the Internet
keeps me digitally connected.

Coins graded lower than
collector expected
I have been collecting for over 50
years. Recently I submitted 60 raw coins to
ANACS for certification.
Despite buying the coins from reputable
dealers over the years, I was very disappointed when ANACS graded none as the
grade I purchased. In some cases the grade
was two grades below what I thought I
purchased.
I thought I knew something about grading. I guess I don’t.

Current cent composition
doesn’t hold up
I cannot understand how the present
composition for our cent had passed. These
coins look like they’ve been through a war
after a mere year in circulation. Why didn’t
they opt for the 99/1 ratio of the steel/zinc
wartime cent? They most definitely have
passed the test of time.

Virgil Marshall very much
alive, well
Patrick Slaughter of Michigan had
a letter I am not in disagreement with,
but in it he mentioned old-time dealers
such as Virgil Marshall. In the same
paragraph he mentioned dealers passing
on to their reward.
Just to clarify, Virgil Marshall is very
much with us!

On Feb. 9 I was in Marshall’s Coin
Shop in Wymore, Neb., killing a little time
before the Nebraska national park coin
forum that evening. Virgo was there selling some silver dollarsto Mark, the owner.
The next day at the release ceremonies
in the Beatrice high school auditorium, I
exchanged a few words with him again.
Mitch Ernst did a good job covering
the launch ceremonies. I just want to
clarify Virg is still with us!

What does position A or B
on a coinmean?
The enhanced Native American dollar
slabbed coin is being sold on eBay with
some coins listed as position A or B.
Can you explain what is position A or
B? Is that just an upside down edge printing? If it is, I see no extra value to the coin
for that reason.
J. Karpinski
Address withheld
Editor’s note: It does deal with edge
lettering. Position A means when the
obverse is up, the lettering is also right
side up. Position B is when the obverse is
up but the lettering is upside down. And
half of dollars have Position A and half
have Position B.
First 2015 coin found is a
Jefferson nickel
Well, I found my first 2015 coin. A
2015 Jefferson nickel in the cash drawer
I was counting. I’ve asked banks if they
have any new rolls but no luck yet.
Just keep looking. I found a 1946
Roosevelt dime last week in a roll.

Don’t rush to mint unusual
U.S. coins
I would like to comment on David
Harper’s “Class of ‘63” column and on
Bob Olekson’s “Viewpoint,” “Designs in
gold just for the money,” which appeared in
the March 17 Numismatic News Express.
Regarding Mr. Harper’s suggestion that
the U.S. Mint issue coins with unusual
formats (size, shape, color, smell, etc.), I
think it would be a mistake to assume that
because the curved baseball coins issued
last year were a hit that buyers of U.S.
coins want all kinds of unusual coins of the
type issued by other world mints.
I regularly hear collectors of modern
U.S. coins say they would never even buy a
gilded or colored American coin, let alone
one that emitted certain odors (like the
chocolate and marijuana coins other countries have issued). Many of them do not
even consider a lot of those foreign issues
to be real coins. They tend to prefer more
traditional coins with classic designs.
The baseball coins worked because the
dome or curved shaped complemented
the subject matter, just as a similar shape
has been used for coins that depict themes
related to astronomy and sports from other
countries.
And for the record, the U.S. Mint consulted with both the French and Australian
mints when working on the baseball coin,
and in fact one of the first things they
did was reproduce both the 2009 French
astronomy coin and the 2012 Australian
Southern Cross coin (the world’s first
curved and colored coin).
Regarding Mr. Olekson’s piece, no one
is going to force him or the members of
his club to buy the 2016 gold tribute coins.
But many people are looking forward to
them, and I believe they will be a big hit.
Besides, the Mint issues a wide range of
coins at many price points.
Moreover, during the CCAC meeting
on this in January, the committee was
very clear that it would like to see silver
versions of the coins, but that requires
authorization from Congress, which may
or may not happen.
In addition, the CCAC has proposed
several times that our circulating coinage
with dead presidents on them be replaced
with a Liberty-themed series, but that also
requires approval from Congress, which
so far has not moved on the legislation
introduced to create that series.

and Professional Preview admissions.
Public hours were on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.
These dealer responses were gathered on Saturday morning.
Joe Peruski, Monroe Currency &
Coin, Monroe, Mich., was particularly
pleased with the show.
“It’s been extremely good,” he said.
“I moved a lot of U.S. type and a ton of
my world notes, all graded.”
Large-size type notes and higher
grade small-size notes, he said, “moved
extremely aggressively price-wise. The
66, 67 third-party graded small-size
notes sold very well.”
“I had a very good day yesterday,” said
Glen Jorde, Lake Region Coin & Currency
Exchange, Inc., Devils Lake, N.D.
His action was mainly during the
afternoon of that day and included
world and U.S. notes.
“It’s was kind of an interesting
mixture,” he said of what was selling,
adding that the market has been good
since the beginning of the year.
“I’ve done a show every weekend
since the first of the year, and the
shows have been actually pretty good.
I’ve done small shows and large shows
and so far so good.”
Marty Roland, A-Coin & Stamp
Gallery, Inc., Jacksonville, Fla. was
also happy with his show sales.
“I couldn’t be any more pleased
with the results,” he said. “If Saturday
is like Friday I will go back to Florida
a happy man.”
Most of his sales were in large- and
small-size U.S. type notes and a few
Nationals. “It was just a general mix,”
he said.
Roland also has high hopes for the
paper money market.
“I think the market is real strong on
all paper currency right now, so our
outlook for 2015 is very positive.”
Dealer Scott Lindquist, Minot,
N.D., lamented that the show was not
as good as last year’s.
“But I think that’s more to do with
the weather,” he said. “Last year I had
my best show since 2009, period. This
year, they aren’t here.”
Linquist deals in a range of U.S.

currency, Confederate currency and
world notes.
The prior year his sales at CPMX
were in the $40,000 to $50,000 range,
this year it was about $10,000 to
$12,000.
“It’s still a good show,” he said.
“It’s not just a great show, although my
expectations were set on that.”
“I actually had a decent show,” said
Jim Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald Currency,
Fort Worth, Texas. “I was surprised
by the public sales I was able to make
yesterday. Thursday was a little slow,
but yesterday I surprisingly had some
decent public sales.”
His sales were across the board,
including obsoletes, Confederate
notes, U.S. large-size type and some
Nationals.
Keith Bauman, TNA Associates,
Franklin, Mich., was one of the dealers
who had trouble making it to the show
due to inclement weather.
“It was just really OK,” he said of
his CPMX experience. “Last year we
grossed double what we did this year.
But it was constant, but people didn’t
spend the money. The sales were $100,
$50, $20, $10, and the big sales were to
dealers.” The rest were smaller deals.
Most of the small sales were in world
notes, which he said were “hot.”
“Well, actually the show has been
very good, especially in the buying
department,” said Steve Perakis, Alex
Perakis Coins & Currency, Lima, Pa.
“I’ve bought way more than we expected to here.”
Sales were “all over the map,” he
said, including obsoletes, type notes,
and small-size U.S. notes.
“I think if we had a little bit more
of our inventory here we could probably have sold more. We’ve done very
respectable.”
He said it was “a blessing in disguise when you can come to a show
like this and buy a good quantity of
new material you haven’t seen before.
So I’m very happy with that.”
The show also featured meetings
of the Chicago Coin Club and the
International Bank Note Society.
Nearly 60 members and guests were
on hand for the March 7 CCC meeting
to hear a presentation by Steve Feller
on “WWII Civilian Camp Money of
North America.” Shortly thereafter,
Stanley Campbell addressed the IBNS
on “Hunting for Collectibles in Cuba.”
Lyn Knight Currency Auctions,
Overland Park, Kan., conducted the
official show auction.

Why is Latin used on inscriptions?
■ Why do so many medals have Latin
inscriptions?
After the fall of the Roman Empire in
the West, Latin became a language used by
the few educated people who remained in
Europe. This continued for many centuries.
At some point in recent times it made sense to
abandon the practice, but perhaps intellectual
snobbery prevailed. The unspoken purpose
was to set apart the educated from the
common people. In the 17th and much of the
18th centuries most of the English-speaking
peoples couldn’t read written or printed
English, let alone Latin. While today most of
the population is literate, the use of Latin has
become a tradition.
■ Has the U.S. Mint always had problems
with new designs?
Almost without exception, a new
design guaranteed controversy. The
biggest problem was rumors, often that
the design would be recalled because of
some flaw. The Lincoln cent had problems
with Brenner’s initials. The Saint- Gaudens
$20 gold wouldn’t stack and the same
complaint was made about the high-relief
Peace dollar. The Buffalo nickel wore
rapidly, the Standing Liberty quarter wasn’t
dressed to go out in public, and so on.
One exception was the introduction of the
nickel in 1866, but that was a new coin, not
a change in design. Since the state quarter
program we have become more relaxed
about new designs as they appear routinely
throughout the year.
■ Which was smaller, the gold dollar or
the silver 3-cent piece?
Hedge your bets on this one. The Type I
gold dollar (1849-1854) measured 13mm.
The Type II and III (1854-1889) measured
15mm, while the silver 3-cent piece
measured 14mm.
■ Is dental gold .900 fine like coin gold?
No. Dental gold is considered to be
.750 fine and is alloyed with metals other
than copper.
■ In one reference work I checked I
noted a comment about New England being
located where the state of Virginia is now.
Is this true?
Our sources say that Capt. John Smith
did actually rename North Virginia as New
England in 1614. At that time, Virginia had
been divided into North Virginia and South
Virginia, but it also stretched from Florida
to Newfoundland, so New England was well
north of present-day Virginia.
■ I’ve got several CC dollars that I
purchased during the GSA auctions years
back. I want to remove them from the cases,
but I’ve been warned they will lose their
value if I do. True?
How about maybe? The long-term value
of a coin depends on its condition, but
nowadays great value is set on original
packaging even if a coin could be better
preserved in something else.
trade coins?
Apparently the Mexican government was
miffed after their trade dollar was removed
from legal-tender status in the United States
in 1857. For whatever benefit, the Mexican
trade dollar was subjected to a 12 percent
export tax. Perhaps one of our financial
experts has a more detailed explanation of
the reasoning behind the move.
■ Please explain why a silver dollar
contained more silver than two silver halves,
four quarters or 10 dimes.
Because our coins contained more than
the face value in bullion, the Coinage Act
of 1853 reduced the silver content of the
minor coins by 6.91 percent, but did not
change the dollar’s weight. Ever since then
$1 in silver minor coins have a lower total
bullion content than the amount in the silver
dollar itself.
■ Why doesn’t a certain reference work
■ What is a cartouche on a coin or
list a specific coin?
Every book editor includes listings of
what is believed to be the most useful
information. There are some differences
between titles and in this case, the question
refers to a book not published by this
company, so we cannot provide the reason.
medal?
It is usually an oval or oblong area
either decorated with a design or outlining
an inscription.
■ Why did Mexico place a tax on
24
■ Only one of my relatives is interested
in coins, so I want him to have my collection
after I’m gone. Is there some way I can
insure he will get it?
Unless you make a will specifically
naming him, you may run into problems,
or you can give him your collection before
you die. The laws vary from state to state, so
consult a lawyer right away for competent
advice on how best to handle the matter.
Under IRS regulations, if the collection
is worth less than $14,000, it meets the
requirements of a gift and need not be
reported. (Up to $14,000 can be given away
by you per person per year.) If the collection
is worth over $14,000, the excess will reduce
the estate exempted from tax when you die.
Or, you could give the collection away in
installments each year not exceeding the
$14,000 IRS maximum tax-free gift.
■ Didn’ t the Federal Reserve resist the
restoration of the right to private ownership
of gold in 1974?
To use an old saying, Chairman Arthur
Burns fought tooth and nail to get the ban
extended for at least six months. After
Congress passed the bill rescinding the ban
as of Dec. 31, 1974, a bill was introduced by
Sen. Adlai Stevenson III to repeal the new
law, but despite widespread official support
for the repeal attempt, it failed.
■ What was the issue price of the Troy
Onza struck in 1949 by Mexico?
No record lists what the Mexican Mint
charged for “Onza Troy de Plata,” but they
were sold by American dealers for $3 in that
year. Current catalog is $35 in uncirculated.
■ Is it true that many of the first Medals
of Honor were recalled?
The medal was authorized in 1862. In
1916 a board investigated 2,625 awards and
decided that 911 – about a third – had not
been properly earned. If the holder of the
medal was still in the military it was recalled
and canceled.
■ How did Washington’ s Medal of Merit
become the Purple Heart?
It was a badge of merit, rather than
a medal, and of cloth, purple and heart
shaped, with the word MERIT printed on
it. The award languished, but the design
was later incorporated into the Purple
Heart, awarded to those wounded or killed
in combat.

Indiana mulls sales tax exemption
By Patrick A. Heller
Over the years, the Industry Council
for Tangible Assets has had significant
success at supporting efforts to enact sales
and use tax exemptions for the retail sales
of precious metals, rare coins and paper
currency in several states.
In the past year or so, the state of
Nebraska has enacted an exemption, and
Oklahoma and Texas have expanded their
existing exemptions by eliminating a minimum purchase requirement. The Virginia
legislature just passed a bill granting a
sales and use tax exemption on retail
bullion sales. It is now waiting for the
signature of the governor to become law.
Once this occurs, Virginia will become the
32nd state that either has no sales tax at all
or grants complete or partial sales and use
tax exemptions on the sales of precious
metals bullion, rare coins, or currency.
The Indiana House of Representatives
passed HB 1046 on Feb. 23 by a vote of
94-0 for a sales and use tax exemption
on the retail sale of bullion, coins and
currency. The Bill is now assigned to the
Senate Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee.
The chair of this committee has been
added as a sponsor of this bill. The Senate
committee is holding hearings on the bill
March 10.
In support of the bill, the state representative who sponsored it will speak,
then David Hendrickson of SilverTowne,
then me. First I will present some remarks
in my capacity of treasurer and as a member of the board of directors of ICTA.
Then I will speak as a coin dealer who
was involved in the successful effort to
adopt Michigan’s exemption in the 1990s
and who documented the growth of the
industry that resulted from the exemption.
Over the years, I have heard numerous
people point out that subjecting money
to sales tax does not make sense. While
I agree, it takes a bit more work than that
to achieve enough legislative support to
achieve enactment of a sales and use tax
exemption. To give you a better idea of
what is involved, please continue reading
the rough draft of my remarks before the
Indiana Senate committee:

Patrick A. Heller of Liberty Coin
Service in Lansing, Mich.
In Support Of
HB 1046 Sales Tax Exemption For
Bullion, Coins, or Currency
Indiana Senate Tax and Fiscal Policy
Committee
March 10, 2015
Chairman Hershman and members of
the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify in support of HB 1046 for a
sales and use tax exemption for the retail
sales of precious metals bullion, rare coins
and currency.
My name is Patrick A. Heller. After
working as a CPA in Michigan in 1981 I
became the owner of Liberty Coin Service
in Lansing, Michigan’s largest coin dealer.
When Michigan enacted a comparable
exemption in 1999, the House and Senate
fiscal agencies and the Michigan Treasury
used my calculation of forsaken tax collections in their analyses. I also conservatively forecasted the likely increase in
Michigan tax collections if the exemption
was enacted and later documented that the
actual increase in tax collections nearly
doubled my estimate. Both my analyses
of tax expenditures and of documented
increases in state treasury tax collections
were subsequently used to support successful efforts to adopt precious metals,
bullion, rare coin and bullion sales and
use tax exemptions in Iowa, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina and Nebraska. These same
analyses were used to expand the tax
exemptions in Texas and Louisiana. Most
recently, they were used to support a successful bill in Virginia that passed the
legislature and is now awaiting signature
by the governor.
I am here to address two issues about
which members of the Indiana House
Committee expressed concern. First is the
question of whether enacting a sales tax
exemption for money and not for other
tangible property is fair. Second, I review
the limitations of a static tax impact analysis instead of a dynamic analysis.
Precious metals bullion, rare coins,
and currency are not consumed
Precious metals bullion, rare coins and
currency have a major distinction to other
tangible assets subject to sales and use
tax. Sales and use taxes are consumption
taxes on assets that are consumed or used.
In contrast, precious metals bullion, rare
coins and currency are not consumed.
Often, they are acquired as investments to
be sold. Others are acquired for the enjoyment of a hobby, but are still preserved
carefully with an eye toward future sale.
They are not worn, used, or otherwise
consumed.
The Internal Revenue Service and the
Indiana Treasury confirm that precious
metals bullion, rare coins and currency
are capital assets that are not consumed.
Both tax agencies anticipate that these
assets will be sold and that the owners
will report and pay income taxes on their
profits from the sales. In fact, the IRS has
a Form 1099-B used by coin dealers to
report to the IRS some bullion and coin
purchases from the public.
Static versus dynamic tax analysis
State treasuries and legislative fiscal
agencies use a static analysis of the impact
of tax law changes. If a sales tax exemption is enacted, how much existing tax
collections would be lost?
However, if only the forsaken taxes are
calculated, with no consideration of the
change in behavior of Indiana residents
after a tax change occurs, the overall
impact on total tax collections will be
inaccurate. Instead, a dynamic analysis is
needed to reflect the impact of changes
to other Indiana Treasury tax collections.
From my working with the agencies
in Michigan, I learned that there is no
approved methodology for state treasuries and fiscal agencies to do a dynamic
analysis. I believe my findings of the coin
dealer industry’s changes in Michigan
once the exemption was adopted would
help this committee in approximating a
dynamic analysis.
• From the enactment of the exemption in 1999 to the end of 2011, I tracked

CONSISTENCY. STABILITY. INTEGRITY.
The NGC grading team includes nearly 30 professionals, many of whom have been
with NGC for a decade or longer. When you submit coins in 2014 that had been
graded in 1994, they’re handled by the same team of graders. That means they’re
graded consistently, according to the standards we’ve upheld for more than 27 years.
And they’re backed by the integrity of the NGC guarantee, the most comprehensive
in the industry. That’s the difference. That’s NGC.

From 1997 to 2011, my company’s out-of-state retail and wholesale sales and Michigan wholesale
sales increased about 673 percent.
Heller/from Page 28
a 60 percent increase of coin dealerships in Michigan. Half of this increase
was from new businesses opening and
about half was from existing businesses expanding their operations to also
become coin dealers.
• Coin dealer employment more than
doubled over this time frame and total
payrolls increased by an even greater
amount. For my own company from 1997
to 2011, total employment and contractors increased 243 percent while total
payrolls increased more than 800 percent.
Michigan Treasury research determined
that 38.5 percent of payrolls are spent on
merchandise for which Michigan sales tax
is collected. The increase in coin dealer
payrolls in Michigan generated additional
sales tax collections that more than offset
tax collections lost because of the exemption. I would also like to point out that this
coin dealer employment increase occurred
while Michigan as a whole was suffering a
decline in employment.
• Industry sales soared. According to
Dun & Bradstreet information in 1995,
my company accounted for about 15 percent of sales by coin dealers in Michigan.
From 1997 to 2011, my company’s outof-state retail and wholesale sales and
Michigan wholesale sales increased about
673 percent. Our Michigan retail sales
during this time increased more than
2,500 percent. Yes, volume increased
across the board, but there was a definite
major volume increase specifically resulting from the new tax exemption.
• As coin dealers drew more customers for exempt merchandise, they also
drew more customers for merchandise
they handled that were still subject to
sales tax. Major categories of such products handled by coin dealers were jewelry, antiques, sports cards, hobby supplies
and other collectibles.
• As the number of coin dealers
increased and their volumes rose, business
tax collections from these companies rose.
28
• For my own company from 1997 to
2011, our total Michigan tax collections
increased 216 percent despite the drop
in sales taxes collected on our Michigan
retail sales. Over the same period, our
Lansing tax payments increased by more
than 1,100 percent and our local advertising expenditures increased more than
480 percent!
• Further, the hospitality industry in
Michigan increased tax collections as
more coin shows were sponsored in
Michigan, which encouraged more out-ofstate dealers to spend money in Michigan.
Why would coin dealers experience
such growth after an exemption? Because
of thin profit margins on bullion products,
the sales tax is a major impediment to
potential buyers. In 1994, Michigan raised
the sales tax rate from 4 percent to 6 percent. My company’s in-state retail sales
for the 12 months following the increase
fell by almost exactly one-third from
the 12 months before the rate increase.
Therefore, our sales tax collections did
not increase.
When precious metals bullion, rare
coins and currency were subject to
Michigan sales tax, we rarely made instate retail sales greater than $1,000.
Yet, my analysis of my company’s 2011
retail sales showed that 94 percent of
our Michigan retail sales volume was for
transactions of $5,000 or more.
Who would benefit from the exemption?
Indiana residents can easily purchase precious metals bullion and rare
coins from sellers in Illinois, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida, California
and elsewhere and arrange for out-of-state
storage. Generally the more affluent use
such arrangements.
There are several constituencies that
would benefit from enacting House Bill
1046 in Indiana. Among the beneficiaries
would be:
• Indiana Treasury from increased tax
collections
• More new and existing Indiana businesses with higher profits
• Indiana workers with more jobs and
higher pay
• Indiana smaller-scale investors who
can deal locally
• Indiana consumers better protected
by dealing with local businesses than with
strangers
• Indiana senior citizens who have
more resources to avoid scam artists
All of these benefits and more happened in Michigan without any net cost to
the state treasury or Michigan taxpayers.
In Michigan, a high percentage of sales
tax collections are explicitly allocated
to education funding. For this reason,
the Michigan Education Association automatically opposes sales tax exemptions.
However, the MEA did not oppose this
particular exemption and was rewarded
when total sales tax collections increased.
Thank you for the opportunity to speak.

GOLD BULLION MARKET VALUES
What will collectors with cash choose to buy?
By Richard Giedroyc
Subtle indications show activity within
the coin market may be beginning to
return. Several dealers acknowledged
during February that they laid off an
employee or didn’t replace someone who
left. This is a buyer’s market, but the
buyers aren’t necessarily there, nor are
the coins they want available. Active collectors would rather take their coins with
them if they could find a way. Their heirs
aren’t in a rush to liquidate the family
collection. There are still too many dealers with cash flow problems because of
Key U.S. Type Coins
a lack of available fresh merchandise,
or because they are still unwilling to
raise capital by selling off old inventory
bought at higher prices. Auction houses
continue to set records for truly rare date
or condition rarity coins. Most other coins
in the same venues are realizing what I
will politely call soft prices. The extreme
winter weather and weak price of gold
and silver haven’t helped. The market
needs a stimulus. The collector coin market goes in cycles. This cycle, ironically,
comes at a time when the U.S. economy
is getting healthier, meaning there is more
discretionary money to be spent on coins.

the full chain on the reverse.
“If you compare them to a damaged
coin, I’d rather have a PO-1 coin as
opposed to a scratched or off-color coin.”
It’s the quest of finding the best PO-1
coin that keeps collectors going and the
market moving for these coins, he said.
“Collectors will study the coins
and even ‘upgrade’ within the grade of
PO-1,” Allen said. “They’ll get one with
a better color and eye appeal.
“There’s a level of sophistication to
this. Collectors will look for a coin that’s
good for the grade.”
Michael Hoyman of Palmer, Alaska,
says that he’s always upgrading his many
registry sets of lowball Morgan dollars.
His lowball basic Morgan dollar set, End
of the Trail VII Collection, was exhibited at the 2014 American Numismatic
Association’s World’s Fair of Money
and can be viewed online here: http://
www.pcgs.com/setregistry/alltimeset.
aspx?s=82663.
“The first step is setting realistic
goals,” he said. “Then improve wherever
possible along the way.
“This is more of a journey into searching and grading coins than just a bunch
of coins. Your collection speaks for you.
If you are half-hearted in your efforts
then your set will reflect that.
“I was not always number one in the
lowball Morgan dollar series but I was
always looking to improve.
“Allen sold me the first 1884-S PO-1
for $450 and now there are four examples. The value is still there but to me the
coin’s grade only matters if it can help
improve the collection it’s in.”
Well-worn coins can always be found,
but finding PO-1 coins requires effort
and knowledge, he said.
“I try to purchase raw coins first but
a coin in the holder is a sure thing,” he
said.
“Some coins were bought because
36
they were in previous number one lowball sets until the sets were retired.
“If you get them raw, that’s best. You
can probably get them close to spot. You
then have to scan it for any marks.”
When it comes to figuring out what
makes a coin PO-1, he uses a system
based on what details are present.
“I study every coin I can, looking for
any distinctive markers,” Hoyman said.
“Every PO-1 Morgan is different so I
have to be better at finding and grading
them than anyone else, graders included.
“I have a 12-point system and a coin
has to meet seven or more points in order
for me to send it in to get graded.
“Because it’s my money paying their
fees, I have to be much better at finding coins that are problem free and low
enough to grade what I need to improve
my sets.”
Allen said details can make or break a
coin’s PO-1 grade.
“There’s a very fine line between Fair
(Fr-2) and an upgradable coin. The graders have to have enough information to
tell its date and mintmark.”
He then added that a few coins can
be graded PO-1 even when missing their
date, their mintmark or both.
“The 1921 Peace dollar has certain
design elements that make it different
from the other years,” Allen said. “There
are no mintmarks for 1921 Peace dollars.
So, even if the date is entirely worn away,
you can tell it’s a 1921. For other coins,
there may not enough information to tell
what it is.”
In order to reach the PO-1 grade,
some collectors keep the coins in their
pockets to add more wear. While it may
seem like tampering with the coin, Allen
said he has no problem with this practice.
“If a coin is kept in a pocket to wear
it down to PO-1, that’s the same as when
they were in circulation,” he said.
“Now, say I took an about good (AG3) Morgan dollar and kept it as a pocket
piece for some time. There’s many things
that can happen to it then. I could lose it.
It could get scratched or dinged.
“Now, if someone decided to accelerate the process with something like a
rock tumbler, it’ll look different. It won’t
look like a coin that’s been worn in a
pocket. As you wear a coin, it will oxidize. These altered coins won’t, so they’ll
have an unnatural color.”
Other coins don’t reach PO-1 because
of how they wear or circulate, he said.
“Gold is particularly difficult because
it didn’t circulate that much,” he said.
“You don’t see that many gold coins
grade with that kind of wear.
“Gold coins can also get scratches and
rim dings that make the coin ungradable
because of the softness of the metal.”
There are few gold coin PO-1 collectors though, he said.
“The most popular series are Morgan
and Peace dollars in PO-1,” Allen said.
“Classic commemoratives in PO-1 are
also in demand.”
Hoyman said that PO-1 coin collecting is growing as more collectors find it
a challenge and as a way to study worn
coins.
“This all started out as a challenge for
me and I went with it,” he said. “I don’t
consider myself an expert. Because I
don’t know what an lowball expert is or
should be. I do consider myself a tenacious collector and persistent searcher of
low grade or worn coins.
“It’s sort of like if you bought something and no one else knows what it is.
You have to unlock its secrets in order for
everyone to appreciate it.”
Heritage/from Page 4
Heritage said the obverse is illustrated in the fifth edition of Overton,
while the reverse plated therein is
from an example of O-105. The coin
was just recently certified and is now
housed in an Numismatic Guaranty
Corporation VF-25 holder.
“This die pair was previously
known only in the form of two
copper impressions; one of which
is housed in the Smithsonian
Institution, and the other in a museum in Vienna, Austria,” said David
Mayfield, vice president of coin
consignments at Heritage.
The half dollar will be sold as part
of the Liberty U.S.A. Collection,
Part II, originally built by Hilt.

A silver drachm of Barskunes, either the name of a tribe or a place near Pamplona in northwestern Spain (Hispania Citerior). The
coin dates from the late 2nd century BC, and is probably the issue of an entity independent or in a treaty relation with Rome.
Spain is great at issuing coins
By Bob Reis
Writing about Spanish coins kind of
puts me in mind of writing about Mexican
coins. I clearly remember one line from
my Mexico articles: “this is one of the
great coin issuing countries of the world.”
Spain is another. They’ve been busy
making coins for most of the last 2,200
years. Lots of them. If you want to collect Spanish coins of any period you will
find plenty to choose from. They weren’t
the earliest coin makers, but once they
got the idea they liked it, and when they
conquered Mexico they took their coin
making habit with them.
Spain also goes way back in terms
of human and hominid habitation, more
than a million years. Those earliest people apparently came across the strait of
Gibraltar from Africa, about 12 miles of
water. That would seem to mean that homo
erectus had some kind of water craft. We
used to think they were pretty unsophisticated as far as making stuff, a particular
kind of hand axe their most commonly
found tool, but then the archeologists
found some wooden spears with fire hardened points. Rafts or even inflated animal
bladders seems not unreasonable. They
could look across the strait from Morocco
38
and see Gibraltar, at some point they got
across.
Later, from the north, from across
the Pyrennee mountains, Neanderthal
people appeared on the Spanish scene.
Neanderthals came out of Africa, all of us
humans did, and spread through Asia and
Europe, reaching Spain around 200,000
years ago. Neanderthals remained in Spain
through the time of the arrival of anatomically modern humans about 28,000
to 26,000 years ago. It used to be thought
that the moderns beat out the Neanderthals
in some way and the Neanderthals went
extinct, but it was recently established
that about 2 percent of modern European
human DNA is actually Neanderthal so
the picture is cloudier than triumphant
moderns and defeated Neanderthals. Or
maybe not, you know what conquest is
like amongst the humans: rape and pillage,
pillage and rape.
Each type of human had their particular types of stone tools, the moderns
made art objects too in some quantity (late
Neanderthals apparently made a few). The
stone tools are not uncommon finds in
certain spots in Spain, and they used to be
fairly easy to come by in the paleo antiquities market. In recent years, however, the
Spanish government has claimed all of the
prehistoric material as national patrimony
and has banned export. I went to eBay
and looked for Mousterian (Neanderthal).
Found a bunch of stone tools, most from
France, a few from England, none from
Spain.
By about 25,000 years ago the
Neanderthals were gone from Gibraltar,
location of their latest sites.
Europe became very cold between
25,000 and 20,000 years ago, we call
that time the last ice age. Several different stone tool styles succeeded each
other during the ice age and in succeeding millennia: Aurignacian, Gravettian,
Solutrian, Magdalenian. These people all
made mural cave art, in Magdalenian
times (around 11,000 years ago) cave art
became common in some regions.
Around 10,000 years ago (8000 BC)
“microlithic” tools became common.
The basic idea was that the tiny edged
stones were fixed on wooden blades with
resin. Everything before is thought of
as Paleolithic. The microlithic period is
termed “Mesolithic.”
The so-called Neolithic revolution
arrived around 6000 BC. The new way
of life included agriculture and pottery. It

was not a local Spanish development but
rather came from somewhere else, possibly northern Africa, possibly the middle
east by way of France.
Among the various things that
Neolithic cultures made were beads of
shell, bone, stone, and ceramic, and you
can find beads attributed to Neolithic
times on eBay. Most are from Africa
and Asia, none are from Spain. Beads
and holed shells were made during the
Paleolithic but were a major trade item in
the Neolithic context with, if the historical
African situation can be used as a guide,
a comparative value system: this type of
bead being worth some quantity of some
other type of bead in some given location.
Proto-money of a sort.
The next conventional cultural stage
was the Chalcolithic, around 3000 to
1800 BC, when working of copper, silver,
and gold began and spread through the
“Old World.” The metalworkers started
out using rare “native” metals but at some
point discovered ores and began smelting.
Perhaps they were using ore stone in their
pottery kilns, when one day: “Hey, look
at this, the ash bends. You know, I think
that’s copper.” Copper axes, points, knives,
rings, etc. have been common enough in
recent decades that there has been market
presence. I’ve had a few, mostly from eastern Europe. Spanish examples are known
but there is no market presence.
Associated with the Chalcolithic period are megalithic monuments and the
first towns.
By 1800 BC smelting activity had
revealed to the smiths several new metals
including tin and zinc. It was noted that
a bit of tin mixed with copper made it
harder and capable of holding an edge and

body, wings.

the Bronze Age began. The most common
bronze age bronze objects are knives and
so forth, projectile points of various sizes
and shapes, and rings of various kinds.
Again, one can find such things to buy and
collect from various parts of the world,
China and the “Luristan” style (Syria
to Afghanistan) being most common,
Spanish examples do not show up much.
Wikipedia, in its Spanish prehistory
article, does not go into prehistoric trade
patterns much, other than to mention a
lack of definitive evidence of influence
from Chalcolithic and early Bronze Age
culture center Cyprus, the copper island.
Baltic amber shows up in late Chalcolithic
sites, and the occasional artifact from far
away Asia. Boat travel was common. Big
things were moved long distances.
The Bronze Age is also the time of

the first large wars, bureaucratic government, and writing in places like China,
Mesopotamia, Egypt.
The Phoenicians, from all the way over
on the other side of the Mediterranean,
began stopping by around 1100 BC,
when, according to legend, they founded
Gadir or Gades (Cadiz) on the southern Atlantic coast. They never went far
inland so they were not present to watch
the iron using and horse riding Celts
came down from the north and occupy
the interior.
It probably doesn’t matter much in
the context of numismatics, but both the
Phoenicians and the Celts had religions
that were seriously into human sacrifice.
The Celts were also big into the heroic
warrior thing, while the Phoenicians,
ready enough to kill when the situation
called for it, were, as a culture, more
interested in trading.
We get our modern Roman alphabet from the Phoenicians, also, probably, our trading style, with its ongoing
record keeping, debts, interest, etc. The

A small bronze coin of the Hispano-Carthaginian
series. The head is of the goddess Tanit, the
thing on the other side is a helmet.
Phoenicians did not invent coinage, far
as we know, but a case could be made
that they laid the groundwork.
By the 6th century BC Phoenician cities in North Africa became major players
in Mediterranean politics, particularly
Carthage in Tunisia. Southern Spain fell
into the Carthaginian area of interest,
their major Spanish city called Carthago
Nova by the Romans, now known as
Cartagena. Meanwhile, Greeks from
Rhodes founded Rhoda on the northern Mediterranean coast, Greeks from
Phokaia founded Massalia (Marseille
in France), and the Massalians sent out
colonizers to Spain where they founded
Emporion (“trade place,” now the town
of Ampurias). Inland and on the Atlantic
coast a hybrid Iberian culture developed
from Celts and pre-Celtic locals. It had a
pretty Celtic flavor: warrior aristocrats,
farming done by subservient serfs or
slaves, cattle, iron.
It was the Greeks who first introduced
coinage to Iberia, in the 4th century BC,
when they had already been using coins
in Asia Minor for three centuries or
so. Coins were struck in Emporion and
Rhoda. The Phoenician town of Gades
on the southern Atlantic coast struck
coins in the 3rd century BC, also Ebusus
in the Balearic islands. Generally speaking these Greek and Phoenician related
coins of Spain are rather hard to find.
The Carthaginian settlements in
Spain were of lesser interest to the
Carthaginians than those of Sicily, but
the hard part was that they got entangled
with the Romans, fighting the three
Punic Wars over about a century that
ended with the defeat and destruction of
Carthage and the dominance of Rome in
the Mediterranean.
After the first Carthaginian defeat in
241 BC their Libyan allies and others
revolted and a four-year civil war ensued.
Following the suppression of the revolt
Hamilcar Barca, sick of it all, decamped
for Spain. The Spanish Barcid enterprise
thrived for a few years, but then in 218
BC Hamilcar’s son Hannibal launched
an invasion of Italy from Spain, the second Punic War. The Romans captured
Carthago Nova in 209 BC, declared a
Roman province in Spain in 206 BC,
and Hannibal was definitively defeated
in 202 BC.
There is a series of coins called
“Hispano-Carthaginian.” They look a lot
like Carthaginian coins, some particular
pieces might or might not be Spanish,
some would be considered African
except that they were actually found
in Spain. Generally speaking, HispanoCarthaginian coins are considerably easier to find than pre-Punic Wars issues.
Rome expanded into the Iberian interior during the 2nd century BC, first
establishing treaty relations with the
Celtic tribes, which were allowed to
make their own coins until the provincial
reorganization of 133 BC or thereabouts.
The coins of that period are generally
referred to as Romano-Celtiberian.
The Romans divided the Iberian
peninsula into northwestern Hispania
Citerior (near Spain) and Hispania
Ulterior (far Spain). It mattered to them
because they got to the two regions by
different routes. There were different
kinds of people there – Phoenicians,
Carthaginians, etc. in Ulterior, Celts and
Greeks in Citerior.
The Romano-Celtiberian coins have
an overall distinctive kind of style to
them, you see enough of them you start
to recognize it, you think: Spain. In
Citerior some of the coins have Iberic
legends, kind of Greek looking in some
ways but not Greek. Ulterian coins sometimes have Phoenician legends. From the
mid-2nd century BC the coins more and
more have Latin legends.
Spanish coins of the Roman
Republican colonial period are generally not too hard to find. I have looked
through the boxes of dealers who had
more than 100 of them, various types.
Local Spanish coins were issued
through the first few emperors. Quite a few
were struck under Augustus and Tiberius,
then they faded out, the last being struck in
the reign of Claudius. Then, for more than
four centuries, the money of the Iberian
peninsula was regular Roman. X

Asociación Escuela Científica Basilio or the Basilio Scientific School is a religious
institution based on spiritualism, created in Buenos Aires in 1917 by Eugene Scribe
Bernardo Portal and White Aubreton Lambert. The Asociación still exists with a
presence in several countries in the Americas and Europe as well as Australia. This
token was either to advertise or for admission to a conference held at Luna Park
in 1950. Uniface it has the following in the field: LUNA PARK | CONFERENCIA |
ESPIRITISTA | 15 OCTUBRE 1950 |10 hs | ENTRADA LIBRE and on the perimeter:
A.E.C. BASILIO – RAWSON 53 - ANO LIBERTADOR GRAL SAN MARTIN -. Unattributed,
it weighs 1.66 gram with a diameter of 33.13mm. it is made of aluminum.
New medals added to San Martin collection
By Don Dool
I have acquired a new Masonic medal
so we’ll segue into my other Masonic medals associated with San Martin. Although
the website I found is in English and some
of the abbreviations are from French with
some imagination I did manage to decipher most of the abbreviations. One that is
a problem is vall, from the use on one of
the Lima lodges it seems to be the abbreviation for valle, but if so, why abbreviate?
Contact Dool with questions, corrections and comments at [email protected].

The other addition is for a Masonic Lodge in Montevideo. The medal has been a challenge.
The Internet turned up two items about this Lodge, it is still active in Montevideo and it
participated in the 15º Encuentro de Logias José de San Martín de America held in 2011.
The second item led me to conclude that there are two errors on the medal. First, after
the “3” there is an “N” but in retrograde. Normally this would be a º to indicate an ordinal
number. Second, the abbreviation LLOG, this should be LOGIAS. In four places there is a
triangle formed by three dots, the mathematical symbol for “therefore” (shown here in
the caption as ▲) but I find that in Masonic traditions it is used for abbreviation instead of
the usual period. The obverse has a bust of San Martin superimposed on a map of South
America with 3 N ENCUENTRO LLOG ▲ JOSE DE SAN MARTIN. On the reverse: LOGIA |
JOSE DE SAN MARTIN | Nº 139 |OR ▲ MONTEVIDEO | URUGUAY |12-10-80 | (E▲ V▲).
There are two definitions for E.V., Latin – Era Vulgus for Common Era and French – Ere
Vulgaire for Year of the Lord; either could fit here. The OR could be for orden, Spanish for
order. The weight is 22.30 gram and the diameter 41.88mm. No attributions.
At right on obverse is a three-quarter bust of San Martin, around the
bust Jose de San Martin and El gran iniciado (The grand initiator). At
the bottom: LIT. DE MADOU (lithograph by Madou). At the right: EBucci
(the sculptor?). On the reverse a triangle with CADENA, MASONICA and
SANMARTIANA in the respective legs. Cadena means chain, link or tie
so I am not certain which applies here. In the triangle: R▲ L▲ | N° 384.
The R L is from the French, Respectable Loge or in English, Worshipful
Lodge. Below the triangle, GENERAL | JOSE DE SAN MARTIN (The name of
the lodge) | L. WELF (A member) | BS. AS. 1987 ARG. The engraver, PIANA
BS. AS. Below ARG. The weight is 20.73 gram and the dimensions 35.21 x
34.78mm. Made of silver plated bronze. Unattributed.

Big and beautiful best describes this medal. Actually it is a medal within a medal, in the
center is a replica of a medal issued in 1825 by Logia “La Parfaite Amitie” (‘The Perfect
Friendship”) in Brussels. The obverse has a bust to left inside a circle with the legend: LE
GENERAL SAN MARTIN Engraver’s name is below the bust: SIMON F(ecit). The perimeter
legend: GRAN LOGIA DE LA ARGENTINA DE LIBRES Y ACEPTADOS MASONES with Masonic
symbols below. On the reverse: the perimeter legend: IX CONFERENCIA INTERAMERICANA
DE LA MASONERIA SIMBOLICA BUENOS AIRES 1973. Legend inside center circle: LA
❐ | LA PARFAITE AMITIE | CONST▲ A L’OR▲ DE BRUXELLES | LE 7 JUILLET 5807 | AU |
GENERAL SAN MARTIN | 5825. Most of the French and Spanish on this medal is not too
difficult. The abbreviations “const” is probably “construit” for constructed or founded and
“or” for “ordre.” According to Burzio 134 the LA ❐ is for Logia. The medal is in French
and Logia is Spanish so this can’t be, I think the LA is simply the French article and the
❐ is for a punch mark. The plate photo in Numismatica Sanmartiana seems to agree but
it is not clear enough to be certain. The dates, 5807 and 5825, are in accord with Craft
Masonry’s calendar that uses the term Anno Lucius (A.L.) - “In the year of Light.” To arrive
at this date they add 4,000 to the common time, as the Earth was believed in conventional theology to have began in 4000 B.C.E. The weight is 117.2 gram and the diameter
69.45mm. The original medal is attributed as Burzio 134, this one is unattributed. The
original was issued in silver and copper, this is silver plated copper.
Ano del Libertador (The Year of the Liberator) brought forth a multitude of medals; the
Masons did their part with this one. On the obverse: JOSE DE SAN MARTIN EL GRAN
INICIADO (Initiator) on the perimeter with a three-quarter bust to the left in the field.
The reverse has LA MASONERIA ARGENTINA | R.E.A.A. (In French, Rite Écossais Ancien
et Accepté) | EN EL CENTENARIO | DE SU ENTRADA | A LA | INMORTALIDAD | 1850-1950.
(Argentina Masonry, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite on the Centenary of his Entry
into Immortality). The weight is 12.02 gram and the diameter 30.87mm. It is marked
900 fine silver. There are no attributions.
The oldest, rarest and most expensive of
my Masonic medals. The name Lautaro

Tour visits West Winfield and Utica
The following is Part IV of a series
of visits by Mark Hotz to Upstate New
York banks. The first installment appeared
in the Jan. 20, 2015 Numismatic News
Express and the second one in the Feb. 10
issue. The third was in the Feb. 24 issue.
From Edmeston, N.Y., which we visited
last time, I continued north toward Utica,
taking State Route 51. On this route, I
intended to stop at West Winfield, the
home of two note-issuing national banks.
West Winfield, N.Y., is a town situated in Herkimer County, with a current
population of 850. Although the original
land for the Township of Winfield was
acquired and platted in 1816, it was not
until much later that the town was named
in honor of Gen. Winfield Scott, a hero of
the Mexican War.
In 1805, the Great Western Turnpike
was developed, which opened the center
part of New York to commerce. Many
businesses opened and thrived on and
around what is now known as State Route
20. There were saw mills, grist mills, a tannery and many shops. The first bank was
opened in 1854. In 1859, the first newspaper, The Standard Bearer, was published;
it later became known as the Winfield Star
in 1892.
Many local churches were located in
the area. The First Baptist Church, also
known as the Guild Society, was established in 1803. A Methodist Church was
built in 1828 and the Catholic Church in
1875. All of these original churches have
since been destroyed by fire, which has
been a plague on the community for years.
Whole sections of West Winfield were
destroyed by fire only to be rebuilt and
then burn again. It was not until 1906 the
Henry Hiteman Engine and Hose Co. was

The First National Bank of West Winfield was
located on the first floor of the town’s Masonic
Temple, which still stands today.
established to combat fires. It still exists as
the West Winfield Fire Co.
The construction of the Erie Barge
Canal and the New York Thruway rerouted
the paths of population growth and many
of the local businesses moved elsewhere.
The town remains a scenic village and
integral part of the beautiful Route 20
Scenic Byway.
The First National Bank of West
Winfield, charter 801, opened in 1865 and
succeeded the West Winfield Bank. This
bank issued Original and Brown Back
series notes until it was liquidated at the
end of 1904 and succeeded by the West
Winfield National Bank, which received
charter 7483 in November 1904. Both
banks were controlled by the Wheeler family. The West Winfield National Bank survived the end of the National Currency era,
and had a total circulation of $470,000,
consisting of all varieties of Series 1902
Nationals and both Type 1 and Type 2
small-size notes. About a half dozen notes
are reported from the First National Bank
of West Winfield; five large and a dozen
small notes are known from the West
Winfield National Bank. I have included
photos of a $5 Brown Back issued by the
former, and a Series of 1902 $20 from the
latter.
West Winfield today truly is a lovely

The West Winfield National Bank erected a new bank building in 1915,
which still stands today and is in use as a branch of Berkshire Bank.
Among the many lovely Victorian-style homes that line the streets of
West Winfield, N.Y., I spied this wonderful old house, which turned out
to contain the office of the West Winfield school superintendent.

small village with many well preserved business and residential
structures. The First National Bank of West Winfield was located
on the first floor of the Masonic Temple building, located at the
intersection of Routes 51 and 20. The West Winfield National
Bank also used these premises until it built its own substantial
bank structure in 1915. This building, still standing in town, is a
branch of Berkshire Bank.
When I visited West Winfield, the Berkshire Bank was open,
so I went in to have a look around. One of the tellers pointed me
to a frame hanging on the wall that included not only a small-size
National from the West Winfield National Bank, but also a vintage
photo of the bank (circa 1925) and a stock certificate. I inquired
if the bank had any more of its old notes; the teller replied in the
negative, noting that the entire frame and contents had been a gift
to the bank from a local collector. I have included a photo of the
objects in this frame. You can compare the appearance of the bank
building in 1925 to how it appears today, little changed.
As I drove north out of town toward Utica, I spotted many
beautifully preserved Victorian-era homes. The most impressive
house turned out to be the office of the West Winfield school
superintendent. I have included a photo of this beautiful structure.
From West Winfield, I headed east on State Route 20 and
picked up State Route 8 north into Utica. Utica is the seat of

This frame, hanging on a wall in the Berkshire Bank (former West
Winfield National Bank), contains a photo of the bank circa 1925, a
small-size note issued by the West Winfield National Bank, and a stock
certificate for shares in the West Winfield National Bank. It can be seen
today inside the bank branch.
Oneida County and a city of over 60,000+ residents. Though its
population has declined from a high of 100,000 in 1930, Utica
continues to try and reverse population decline and has been successful in attracting state governmental agencies and educational
facilities.
Utica was an important city and industrial and textile manufacturing hub between 1860 and 1950. Mark Twain lectured to a
sold-out crowd in Utica in 1870, and the city hosted the New York
State Republican Convention in 1884. Immigration from Italy
boosted the population considerably, and many Italian immigrants
later served in Utica city government, and still do.
I was excited to be staying overnight in Utica at the beautifully
restored and renovated Hotel Utica, which opened in 1912 and was
described at the time as the finest hotel between New York and
Chicago. An elegant grill, marble lobby and dining room graced
the main floor. N.C. Wyeth, a noted artist whose work appeared
in the Saturday Evening Post was commissioned to create two
murals for the hotel, one titled “The Fisherman” and the other
“The Return of the Hunter.” The Hotel Utica was the place to be in
Utica for decades until the collapse of the local economy caused
the hotel to fall into disrepair. Fortunately, the hotel has been lovingly restored to its original splendor and became a member of the
National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2001. It is now a part of

This photo shows the main lobby of the Hotel
Utica as it appeared circa 1935. It looks very
much the same today, a truly classic piece of
Utica history. The author found it easy to walk
around the marbled lobby and imagine he was
back in the 1920s.
The gold-domed Savings Bank of Utica building, now owned by M&T Bank. Its 52-foot dome is
covered in 23 karat gold leaf and has made the building a Utica landmark long known as the
“Gold Dome Bank.”
The Hotel Utica, erected in 1912, is a Utica
landmark and was once considered the finest
hotel between Boston and Chicago. It is now
owned by Choice Hotels group and I found it
to be quite charming.
Hotz/from Page 48
the Choice Hotels chain.
Utica itself was undergoing street construction when I arrived, but it was not hard
to find the Hotel Utica with the GPS. I was
impressed with the ease of check-in and
the grandeur of the marbled lobby, replete
with colonnades and comfortable seating.
My room was more than spacious and
totally up to date. I had some free time so
I explored the hotel mezzanine, filled with
ballrooms now likely used for wedding
receptions. It was easy to imagine being
transported back to the 1920s when the
hotel had its heyday.
There was still sufficient daylight left,
so I exited the hotel and made my way
to Genesee Street, the main drag through
downtown Utica’s business section. While
some new hotels and more modern buildings had been erected, much of the street
still contained its old storefronts, a classic movie theater, and the glorious Utica
Savings Bank building, easily one of the
loveliest banks I have seen for some time.
50
Its gold covered dome made it quite a
standout. I stood across the street from
it for some time just taking in its quiet
elegance, and tried to imagine it in its glory
days, with people bustling in and out and
classic autos parked out front.
The Devereux brothers, Utica store owners, expanded into banking and applied for
a charter for the Savings Bank of Utica in
1839. The bank expanded greatly between
1852 and the end of the Civil War, moving several times to acquire more space.
By the end of the 19th century, the bank
again needed more space. It purchased the
former home of Alexander Bryan Johnson
and began construction of a new building
in July 1898. The new Italian Renaissance
edifice, designed by R.W. Gibson of New
York City, opened for business in February
1900. The most striking feature of the
building is a large gold dome with an outside diameter of 52 feet and inside height
above the lobby floor of about 50 feet. The
dome has always been covered with real
23-karat gold leaf and the bank has become
known as the Gold Dome Bank.
On the way back to the hotel, I passed
a storefront dedicated solely to electric
razors. I found this odd and peered in,
though it was closed. It was like looking
back into the 1970s—new electric razors
were hanging on hooks for sale, but the
counters were cluttered with used electric razors, many appearing to have been
brought in for repair. I found it hard to
imagine how anyone could actually main-

vintage memorabilia from the hotel. Here is a
souvenir menu from the Grand Opening of the
Hotel Utica in 1912.
tain a business specializing just in the sale
and repair of electric razors, but that is the
beauty of America for you.
Utica was indeed home to five different national banks, but I did not have time
to seek them out, and I honestly felt that
the Savings Bank of Utica building easily
outclassed any of them that I might find.
Enjoy the photos.
Next time, we’ll travel just north of
Utica to visit Middleville and Newport.

2015 U.S. Mint circulation coin production
totals for the month of January
Quarter/from Page 4
Denomination
Production of nickels and dimes also seems
to be aiming higher this year but not to the same
degree.
Nickel output is up about 38 percent while
dimes are up a bit less than 12 percent.
Cent output is almost identical to last year,
actually showing a tiny decline of 1.2 million
pieces. But in an ocean of over 8 billion cents
likely to be produced this year, it is probably just
meaningless statistical noise.
The half dollar, Golden dollar and Presidential
dollar production numbers are front-end loaded
as they must be ready for sale to collectors early
in the year.
For the half dollar, the number struck so far
is identical to last year and in 2014 no additional
coins were struck.
Golden dollar numbers have dropped by
almost half to 4.9 million compared to 8.68 million in the first two months of 2014. Last year at
this point, no further Golden dollars were produced. If this occurs again this year, collectors
will take note of this drastic decline in Golden
dollar numbers.
Presidential dollar numbers in 2015 are virtually identical to 2014’s two-month total, 22.68
million compared to 22.96 million.
In 2014, 35.14 million Presidential dollars
were struck when all was said and done. If the
same pattern holds, we will see more 2015
Presidential dollars, especially with the modern
Presidents, Harry Truman to Lyndon Johnson
being honored.
At the production rate indicated by the first
two months, coin output in 2015 of all denominations would total 16.9 billion pieces compared to
2014’s nearly 13.3 billion. This would be a gain
of about 27 percent.

Program that will feature a $5 gold coin

16 obverse and 11 reverse designs for the
gold coin and 17 obverse and 14 reverse

Marks said the committee recomended
obverse 1 and reverse 5 for the gold coin.
Obverse 1 features a portrait of Twain,
author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Marks said the committee felt it was a
pleasing image of Twain that was not

overly complex and would work well on
the smaller $5 gold coin.
For the reverse, it recommended
reverse No. 5, an image of a riverboat that
Marks said the committee thought was a
fitting tribute to Twain’s early years spent
on the Mississippi River.
For the silver dollar, the CCAC
endorsed a portrait of Twain holding a
pipe with a silhouette of Huck Finn and
Jim, characters from his book, on a raft in
the background.
And rather than choose a reverse
design from the selection presented to the
Denver
committee, the CCAC endorsed obverse
design No. 11 for the reverse of the silver
dollar. The design features an assortment
of characters Twain’s works: The knight
and horse from A Connecticut Yankee in
King Arthur’s Court, the frog from The
Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras
County, and the figures of Jim and Huck
from Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Some wording will need to be changed,
Marks said, because it is repetitive from
the obverse design, while other elements
such as the dollar sign and “USA” will
need to be added.
Monuments Men, Code Talkers choices made
By Debbie Bradley
History speaks through art and architecture, both of which were threatened
with looting and destruction by Hitler’s
armies during World War II.
A Congressional Gold Medal will
honor the Monuments Men, a group
of cultural preservation officers – both
men and women – from 13 countries
who joined to locate, preserve and return
more than 5 million cultural items.
“Their charge was to recover art that
the Nazis had stolen,” said Gary Marks,
chairman of the Citizens Coinage
Advisory Committee, which reviewed
proposed designs for the medal.
On a vote of 6 to 4, the CCAC chose
obverse design No. 6 for the medal’s
obverse. Not finding a reverse design
to its liking among the nine presented,
it chose obverse design No. 11 for the
reverse.
Design No. 6 features soldiers in
action, lifting and removing objects
from inside a cave or mine, locations
where Monuments Men discovered stolen works.
“The design is in the same style as is
reminiscent of Marines raising the flag
at Iwo Jima,” Marks said.
The design chosen for the medal’s
reverse depicts a recovered work of
art superimposed over a spiral graphic
illustrating the “golden ratio,” a formula
used to achieve beauty and balance in
art and architecture.
Some wording on the design for
the reverse will be modified because it
repeats words from the obverse.
The CCAC also endorsed designs for
the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Code Talkers
Recognition Congressional Gold Medal.
It unanimously supported obverse design
No. 1 and reverse design No. 1, both of
which were preferred by the tribe.
The obverse design shows a World
War II code talker with helmet and dog
tags alongside a Sicangu Lakota warrier
wearing a feather in his hair and a bead
and bone collar.
The reverse design depicts the tribe’s seal.
The CCAC agreed with the choices of the
Rosebud Sioux tribe.
Two obverse designs were chosen for obverse
and reverse for Monuments Men.
A three-coin March of Dimes proof set scheduled for a May 4 release will
include a proof silver dime, center, and a reverse proof silver dime.
March of Dimes/from Page 4
dollar coins, which the Mint now calls the introductory price, is $46.95 for the
proof and $43.95 for the uncirculated.
After April 13, the prices of the dollar coins will pop up by $5 each.
Maximum mintage will be 500,000 of dollars across all sales options combined.
The March of Dimes Special Silver Set is slated to go on sale May 4 for $61.95.
This set contains the proof silver dollar as well as a silver proof West Point dime
and a reverse silver proof Philadelphia dime – three coins in all.
The added cost over the introductory price of $43.95 for the proof dollar alone
is $18, or $9 each for the two silver dimes.
The special set will have a mintage limit of 75,000.
