Gold bullion sales
form odd pattern
Declining gold bullion coin sales
this year have resulted in an odd situation where gold American Eagle sales
in January are almost precisely equal to
the sales total for February, March and
April combined.
In January, the Mint sold 62,500
one-ounce gold American Eagle bullion coins. In the next three months the
combined sales number was 64,000.
The number of ounces sold, which
includes all four sizes from tenth ounce
to one ounce, totaled 91,500 in January
while 90,500 ounces were sold in the
following three months.
For the gold Buffalo, the pattern
is the same. There were 41,500 of
the one-ounce coins sold in January.
The next three months’ total is – you
guessed it – 41,500.
There was no surge in demand for
gold bullion coins in April as there was
last year when a $200 drop in the price
of an ounce of the metal made many
people believe they were getting coins

National Park coins
gain House approval
Legislation calling for the striking of
coins commemorating the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service
in 2016 passed the U.S. House of
Representatives April 29.
Called for are $5 gold pieces, silver
dollars and clad half dollars. Maximum
mintages are 100,000 for the gold,
500,000 for the silver and 750,000 for
the copper-nickel half dollars.
Surcharges of $35, $10 and $5 will
be added to the sales prices of the gold,
silver and copper-nickel coins, respecNational Park/Page 34
One of the most exciting discoveries of the 1980s mission to locate and retrieve sunken treasure from
the “S.S. Central America” was the remains of a wooden cargo box still filled with more than 100 double
eagle gold coins displayed in Long Beach in 2010. (Photo by Donn Pearlman)
Salvors return to shipwreck
More gold is being retrieved from the
sunken wreckage of the S.S. Central America,
a ship that sank in 1857 off the East Coast.
A new expedition is being led by Odyssey
Marine Exploration, Inc., of Tampa, Fla.
The current effort will cost between $5
million and $10 million. The firm hopes
its new finds will cover that plus add large
profits besides.
So far the firm reports nearly 1,000
ounces of gold have been recovered.
An April 15 “dive and gold recovery confirms that the site has remained untouched
since 1991,” a statement on the the firm’s
website reported.
The possibility of more gold coins from
the San Francisco Mint and its private mint
predecessors entering numismatic channels
is now a very real one.
The original treasure was disbursed in
numismatic channels 14 years ago in a brilliant marketing campaign centered on calling the wreck the “Ship of Gold.”
Those coins and gold bars were worth an

Petitions look for more gold and platinum
By David C. Harper
Two petitions have been posted online
seeking more gold and platinum coins from
the U.S. Mint in 2016.
Electronic signatures of support are being
sought from collectors.
Posted May 2 on the “care2 petition site”
was a document asking for a total of eight
coins to be struck in gold or platinum and fea-
turing classic early 20th century coin designs.

scarce date. The luster is thick and radiant with
just a hint of gold, mainly at the rim, leaving no
doubt that the beautiful surfaces are completely
original. The strike is razor sharp there are no
significant marks. For technical grade, as well as
super eye appeal, this is a compelling 1886-S

Do collectors still have shared views?
Years ago I used to write that coin
collectors shared many similar views and
from these we could come up with a common collector position on many issues.
While my early belief might still have
validity, I am not as certain as I once was.
Putting the question mark in my mind
were two recent emails informing me of
two online petitions to the U.S. Mint asking for more gold and platinum coins.
The first petition notice arrived April
29. I was referred to a petition on the
“GoPetition” website. Just three days later
I had another email alerting me to another
petition to the Mint on the “care2 petition
site.” It was written after the first one as
it seemed to copy/paste a good deal of the
language of the original.
Apparently the first petition is not
seeking enough new coins as the second
one has a longer wish list.
Asked for by the first petition was
a one-ounce Saint-Gaudens $20 with a
modified design of 1908-1933 to be struck
in .9167 fine gold, an ultra-high-relief
Saint-Gaudens similar to the 2009 issue
Class of
’63
David C. Harper
struck in one-ounce and a two-ounce versions in .9999 fine gold, a Saint-Gaudens
Indian Head $10 half ounce of .9167 fine
gold, a Buffalo nickel design quarterounce in .9167 fine gold, an Indian Head
gold $2.50 with the Bela Lyon Pratt
design containing 1/8th ounce of .9167
fine gold and a 1/20th-ounce addition to
the gold American Eagle series.
The second petition adds platinum
coins. First, it changes the Buffalo nickel
gold piece to a quarter ounce of .9995
fine platinum. It also seeks a Mercury
dime design 1/8th-ounce platinum coin
of .9995 fineness and a Walking Liberty
half dollar design used for a 3/4-ounce
.9995 fine platinum coin. It drops the
20th-ounce gold.
Both petitions say the Mint can make
way for these new offerings by abolishing
collector versions of the gold and platinum American Eagles as well as the gold
Buffalo coin. The bullion coin versions
for investors would not be touched.
Both petitions say the Treasury secretary can use his “broad authority” to issue
numismatic coins to make this happen.
Between the two petitions nine different coins are requested.
While I will leave it to Congress and
the Mint’s legal counsel to determine
whether the Treasury secretary has the
legal authority to issue these coins, the
deeper question is whether these petitions reflect any kind of commonly held
collector opinion. The first petition has
eight electronic signatures on it and the
second one has 20. This could indicate
that the views expressed are not commonly held, or collectors are not yet
aware that the petitions exist. Or does
it indicate we can all go off in separate
directions and thereby lose any sense
that there is a commonly held collector
view at all?

A couple months ago, when we had
a break from the various arctic vortexes
plaguing our winter, I found a Mexican
1 new peso in the gutter of one street.
That has been the “farthest country” coin
found on the road.
But not only do I pick up coins from
the gutters, I also make an occasional hike
to a car wash about a mile from my house.
Around the self-serve vacuums there is
a coin mine of various denominations
(mostly cents) to be had.
When I go grocery shopping at the
local grocery stores, I always check the
reject chute of the Coinstar coin counting machines there. Last year, I believe
it was, I “rescued” $28 from the Coinstar
– all in Jamaican dollars. The machines
are really great for rejecting good stuff,
Wheat-backs, silver U.S .and Canadian
coins, and foreign coins from English
pounds to euros.
On your way home from work, if
there are any grocery stores that have a
Coinstar, or perhaps a car wash (either a
self-serve or a car wash that has outside
self-serve vaccums) expand your horizon
and look around, you’ll be glad you did.

Free bag offer from Mint a
wasteful idea
It is my opinion that this baseball coin
offering by the Mint, is the worst run
ever. Starting with the “free bags” being
sent out first because they were in stock
is ridiculous and definitely not cost effective. I’ve received six bags for orders that
won’t even ship until July.
I called the Mint today and asked,
“Since I received my bags and was
charged the $4.95 for s/h, does that mean

VIEWPOINT
Mint hits homer with baseball coin
By Tony Bonaro
When I first saw the write-up about
the Baseball Hall of Fame coin I was convinced that the U.S. Mint had gone too far.
Then, I saw the first drawings of what the
coin could look like Strike One. I was not
impressed. Later, I saw the drawing that
was chosen and felt there was no artistic
beauty in the coin. Strike Two. Finally,
I read that the coins would be curved to
represent a baseball and a glove Strike
Three. At that point I made a decision
that I was not going to put my hard-earned
money into this coin.
Two weeks ago I was on a business trip
to Philadelphia. I decided to visit the Mint
and see what their new tour was like. The
tour was not available on my last trip, as
it was still being refurbished. I can say the
Mint did an excellent job redesigning the
new self-guided tour with updated video
and touch screens that make it easy to
see and understand how the Mint works.
Taking time out to complete the tour is
highly recommended to anyone who has
the opportunity to be in the area. It takes
about 30-45 minutes to walk through. It
will be longer if you are really into how it
all comes together. At the end of the tour
you end up in the U.S. Mint Store. Why
bring all these tourists through the building if you can’t get a little of money out
of their pockets?
As I made my way around the display
counters and racks of numismatic souvenirs, I came face-to-face with the Baseball
Hall of Fame dollar. Wow, a black and
white drawing is nothing like the real
thing. All previous thoughts and opinions
of this coin were thrown out of the game.
Eye appeal on design and shape of this
coin, resonates with the crack of a grand
slam home run. This is one of those coins
that you have to see to believe. Awesome
does not adequately describe the initial
contact. It comes at you like a fast ball
that makes you blink before you can focus
on what it really is. You have to keep your
eye on the ball (reverse), and slowly turn
the coin over to catch the impact of the
glove (obverse).
The convex/concave design perfectly
gives you the feeling that you are indeed,
holding the ball in your hand. My baseball cap is tipped to designer Cassie
McFarland and Mint Sculptor-Engraver
Don Everhart for a magnificent piece of
art and a classic coin. Beauty is in the
eyes of the beholder, so put down the
paper and go see the real thing. (Actually,
read the whole issue, then put it down.)
Don’t forget to bring your checkbook.
Once you see it, you will want to buy it.
That brings up one more thing. The
only foul ball in the story is the price
of the coin. You can buy a lot peanuts,
popcorn and Cracker Jacks for $51.95.
However, I guess it cannot be all bad.
Fifteen minutes after I bought my first
coin, I went back and bought another.

Mint hikes prices on some
types after series starts
Although I understand what Bruce
Frohman is trying to say (collect what you
can afford/don’t blame the Mint), he is
incorrect in certain matters.
For example, when the Mint began
production of the silver Eagle in 1986,
many collectors started their collections
at a price most could pay. That price has
increased steadily, even with the drop in
silver prices.
But most noteworthy was the production of the 1995-W Eagle, which was
only available in the $1,150 gold set.
Consequently only 30,125 were produced.
The Mint (on purpose?) had created a rarity few Eagle collectors could afford, to
complete their Eagle collections.
This isn’t the only example, but it’s the
most obvious, where the Mint out-priced
its most loyal customers.
So, Mr. Frohman, your thesis may be
true in most cases, but not all. One might
think he has started collecting an area he
can afford, only to be snookered by the
Mint down the road.
Dan Sowards

New silver Eagle reverse
a good idea
I read that Gary Marks and the Çitizens
Coinage Advisory Committee are pushing
for the redesign of the silver Eagle reverse.
I think this is a good idea since I never liked
the reverse Eagle as I find the design to be a
bit incongruous with the front design.
I am wondering why this was not done
before, since every year the platinum
Eagle proof always has a facelift while the
poor silver Eagle has always remained left
behind in the dust.
12
Now it is about time the silver Eagle
gets the attention it justly deserves. I do
not understand the fuss over redesigning
the silver Eagle whereas the dime has
been stagnant for almost 70 years. Let’s
give that a facelift as well. Why was this
never mentioned?
What is the address of Gary Marks so
that I can write him and inspire him with
ideas? He seems so well meaning, but I
feel he needs a little help. I am more than
ready and willing to assist him all I can
in his goals.
Bob Olekson

It was shocking to see the same coins
that I ordered March 27 being offered on
cable TV March 28 completely graded and
encapsulated at a considerable markup.
Are dealers and bulk purchasers given
special treatment while the average U.S.
Mint customer receives just fair treatment
for their personal orders?
This is a disturbing situation for the
loyal U.S. Mint customer who is the primary reason the Mint makes so much money.

The first President I ever had contact
with was Harry S Truman, though I remember FDR as we called him as a young boy. I
wasn’t old enough to vote yet.
I was a Democrat as a teenager. My
friends and I heard about Truman coming
to Philadelphia at the Bellevue Stratford
Hotel to be at the Democrat club and we
decided to sneak in.
We snuck up a couple of flights and
pushed the elevator button. It stopped. The
door opened and there stood the President.
We apologized. He said, “Jump on in.”
I guess the agents with him were taken
aback. We went into the club behind him.
What a memory.
P.S. I was born in 1934.

Early dated cents found
searching rolls
While searching rolls of Lincolns in
March I found a pleasant surprise. It was
a 1909 Indian cent in VG, but it was holey
right at the bottom so when you flipped it
over you could not see whether it had an
“S” on it.
I found a 1915 Lincoln cent April 6.
The obverse was good and the reverse was
VG, so I give it an overall grade of G+,
nice even wear, no scratches or dings. It is
just a nice brown Lincoln.

Why do cable TV coin
shows get coins first?
I am sure many of your readers that
attempted to place orders for the new 2014
National Baseball Hall of Fame commemorative coins were as frustrated as I was on
March 27 when the noon order processing
began. I remember hearing the message
regarding that no orders would be accepted
in order to be fair to all customers.
AFter a half-hour attempt, I was able to
place my coin order and understood that
the orders would be back-ordered and not
shipped until June.

Mintmarks varied when
placed by hand on dies
I recently discovered the 1968-D half
dollar has two locations of the “D” mintmark. They are a different distance from
the neck of JFK. Is this a rarity?
Please explain what I am looking at.
Tom Clark
Philadelphia, Pa.
Editor’s note: It is not a rarity.
Mintmarks were put on U.S. coin dies
by hand before the 1990s so the location
varied. If the mintmark is so far out of
place that it touches another element in
the design, it would have extra value.

‘U’ of United modified
on silver Eagles in 2008
I have a complete collection of U.S.
silver Eagles plus many complete rolls. I
have a question. Why is the “U” in United
States of America different on many of
the coins?
Tom Roberts
Drummonds, Tenn.
Editor’s note: The “U” was modified
in 2008 to put a serif at the bottom right of
the letter. Some 2008 Eagles were struck
with a 2007 reverse die and have extra
collector value. For the rest of the 2008
and later issues, the modified “U” design
was used.
It’s legal in U.S. to melt
foreign coins
I know it is illegal to melt U.S. pennies,
but would like to know if this law applies
to foreign coins?
James Bird
Clarkston, Mich.
Editor’s note: The melting ban covers
cents and nickels and does not apply to
foreign coins.
Searching thousands of
nickels yields rewards
My 2014 coin search of 55,240 nickels has yielded small rewards, including
a 1943/2-P Jefferson silver nickel in
VG-F and a 1913-D Type 1 Buffalo in AU
condition. Other findings include 1927-S
in VF and three no-date Buffalo and 22
Jefferson silver nickels. I also found a
Japanese 50 yen.
My prior discovery of a no-date
Buffalo nickel 1913-S Type 2 that I acid
treated and sent to the Professional Coin
Grading Service was authenticated as
genuine and slabbed. Normally, I would
not set a really non-gradeable coin to a
grading company, but I believe my cost,
$24, may be worthwhile in enhancing
its marketability and sale in the future.
It is low mintage. The list price and
14
popularity of collecting Buffalo nickels
may justify the cost.
Statistically speaking, finding any coin
of any value is extremely difficult, but the
search continues to be its own reward. I
enjoy reading letters to NN from other
coin searchers who also continue to discover little treasures among the billions of
coins in circulation. I wish I could find a
1931-S Lincoln cent, too.

Dealers make big profits
on silver Eagles
I have purchased several rolls of BU
silver Eagles each year since 1986. Back
in the 1980s and 1990s when silver was
$4.50 or $5 an ounce, you could buy
silver Eagles for $2 to $2.50 over silver
value. Now dealers charge $7 to $9 over
silver value.
Dealers are making huge profits on
silver Eagles at the expense of collectors who buy them. I buy silver Eagles
to invest in silver, but buying them at
such a high markup makes them a very
risky investment.
The U.S. Mint sells rolls of Kennedy
halves, Presidential dollars, etc., directly
to collectors. It would be nice if the Mint
would sell BU silver Eagles by the roll
directly to collectors so we wouldn’t
have to pay the high markups charged by
dealers. More collectors could buy them
so the Mint would sell more coins. This
would save collectors money and the
Mint would make more profits.
Ron Hansen
Ashville, N.C.
Would new silver Eagle
reverse call for new set?
I was wondering, if the Mint changes
the reverse on the silver Eagle do I end the
original Eagle set and start a new set or
do I just continue them together and make
them one set?

Editor’s note: Like Washington quarters
with state reverses, you can consider tem

Collectors petition for more
new coin designs
The American Eagle bullion program
is incredibly successful. Over 40 million silver bullion coins are sold per
year. The design has become universally
familiar worldwide. The coin is well
known, like the Coca-Cola trademark.
The bullion coin is so popular that prior
year issues often fetch 25 percent over
melt value.
Why would the U.S. Mint want to
risk market share versus foreign products by changing the reverse design?
The increase in collector purchases
from a design change might not offset
a drop in purchases by investors who
prefer the familiar. The design that has
been in use for over 25 years should
be retained until sales figures render
it obsolete. The proposed new reverse
design can still be struck for collectors.
If the Mint can make both products
profitably, why not do both?
Fellow collectors Terrence O’Reilly
and Peter Rosconi have created an ambitious proposal for the U.S. Mint to bring
forth a variety of classic coin designs
for collectors. It should be given serious consideration by collectors and the
U.S. Mint. The more beautiful coins that
the Mint creates, the greater the appeal
to the general public. As with the state
quarter program, the coin collector base
will grow with the creation of beautiful artwork on coins. The U.S. Mint
employs some of the world’s greatest
artists. Keep them busy!
To view the collectors’ proposal,
please visit the website www.gopetition.com and then type the key words
“us mint”. Whether one agrees with the
petition or not, if the U.S. Mint creates
even one new product, the effort will
have been worth it.

Prosperity in our hands?
Running my errands over the weekend
I was surprised to see so many signs at
various business locations indicating the
firms were hiring.
Springtime has finally returned to
northeastern Wisconsin and the job market here.
An interesting coincidence was that
I also received two 2014-D cents in my
change. That was like frosting on the cake
in way because I have maintained for
years that the better the economy is, the
sooner new coins reach all parts of the
country, even banking backwaters like the
area around Iola.
We have been making due since the
financial crisis with cents that often look
new but are two to three years old when I
stop to examine the dates.
e-letters
Getting 2014-D cents fairly early in
the actual year of issue is a pleasant
surprise. Usually, I have to be transiting
through various airports to get new dates.
If the economy is improving, collectors will continue to boost their purchases and the cash will flow eventually throughout numismatics. This was
dubbed the “money in the jeans effect”
by Bob Wilhite, who edited the “Coin
Market” price guide 1976-2000.
He believed that once people are working and confident about their future, the
money they have in their jeans will start
being spent on coins. And these are the
coins that average buyers purchase, not
the classic rarities that sell for millions
of dollars.
These are Buffalo nickels and Barber
quarters, Mercury dimes and silver proof
sets. This is material that is accessible
to the middle-class collector. These are
coins most of us have fond memories of
whether or not we collect them.
Even baseball commemorative coins
qualify. Nothing gets the blood pumping
more than what looks like a sure-thing
speculation.
I know many people still wonder about
the connection between reality and economic statistics, but I’ve seen the hiring
signs and received the 2014-D cents in
my change. These are not statistics, but
personal observations.
With enough observations of this kind
by enough collectors around the country,
and we might have a pretty good year in
numismatics in 2014.
from the May 2 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.
Do treasure coin finds help numismatics grow?
Treasure coins are very interesting,
especially the latest gold hoard found in
California. They tell a good story and do
peak interest among the general public.
So you can say that they bring attention to numismatics. Unfortunately short
lived attention. The type that has someone dreaming of finding sunken treasure.
Now let us look at the coins we find
in everyday transactions. It is becoming
more difficult to find a cent that you
would be willing to put in your pocket!
Even 2013 cents have begun to corrode.
And it certainly appears that our government is determined to have quarters,
dimes and nickels follow the fate of the
rotten penny.
With so many purchases being made
via debit cards (even food stamps are a
debit card) online transactions and the
like, we see less and less coinage being
16
used everyday. Of course the drug dealers and gamblers still use cash, but they
prefer paper currency.
As much as none of us want to admit
it, the hobby of Kings is reverting back.
I guess in 2014 it is fast becoming, “The
Hobby of the Affluent.” The days of checking dates of pocket change are dwindling.
Dom Cicio Old Bridge, N.J.
From what I’ve observed, treasure
coin finds do not seem to benefit numismatics in general. They do give precious
medals the limelight for awhile but for
most numismatists cannot afford the
heavy prices for such finds.
It is very interesting to see and read
about such finds but I do not think the
provide and new momentum to numismatics in general.
John T. Tinney Volcano, Calif.
Having dealt in Treasure Coins for the
last 30-plus years it does create interest
in numismatics.
If you look at the Atocha coins, there
waere some very rare coins found in the
recovered treasure. These coins were
unknown to coin collectors. So we had a
cross over of both numismatic collectors
as well as treasure collectors.
Looking back on the shipwrecks that
have U.S. gold and silver, I would definitely say the same is true.
Another issue that arose was people
that were buying treasure suddenly got
interested in collecting coins. A lot of
them had collected as kids.
The advent of both NGC and PCGS
grading treasure and world coins has also
helped with authentication and making them
more main stream in numismatic circles.

Investors take more silver 5-ouncers
By David C. Harper
Bullion buyers were more interested
in 5-ounce America the Beautiful silver
coins than were coin collectors. Sales
of the Great Smoky Mountains coin
resumed after the Mint struck additional
pieces and 3,500 were sold in the latest week bringing the overall total to
26,500. Also, the Shenandoah bullion
coin became available and 14,800 were
snatched up.
In comparison, collector buyers
bought only 101 P-mint collector Great
Smoky Mountains coins in the latest
week. Its current sales total of 23,596 is
still 1,404 short of a sellout.
The 2014 silver proof set saw buyers

Coin Market at a glance
Brought to you by NumisMaster.com
Classic commemoratives show signs of life
There has been some interesting action
in the classic commemorative series over
the last few months. This market has been
deader than a doornail for several years
with the only reasonable demand coming
from overseas where commemorative collecting is in vogue. I have often said that
items made for collectors generally do not
maintain their value well. Today one can
purchase a decent BU classic commemorative set (144 coins) for under $40,000.
I remember buying more than one set in
the late 1970s to early 1980s for almost
$50,000 with a retail of around $65,000.
Maybe they have been beaten down and
ignored long enough to be a good buy.
Modern commemoratives show several
declines in the silver dollars. Most gold
issues are 5-10 percent over melt value.
Precious metals are slightly higher
than our last report. This market has
tested gold support at just under $1,270
and resistance at just over $1,315 so
many times it makes short-term market
participants lose their appetite. Silver has
been under the same stress test from just
under $19 to $19.70. Platinum is holding
its ground the best because South African
political issues affect production and
Eastern European unrest affects supply.

Gold type coins are somewhat under
pressure for small denominations in higher grades, but supplies are thin enough to
prevent any major declines, although the
need for liquidity has yielded a few bargains. Larger denominations are modestly
firm despite the questionable bullion market. High-quality early type gold often
brings much higher prices than our charts
indicate when really nice for the grade.

Petition/from Page 1
.9167 fine gold, an ultra-high-relief SaintGaudens similar to the 2009 issue struck
in one-ounce and a two-ounce versions in
.9999 fine gold, a Saint-Gaudens Indian
Head $10 half ounce of .9167 fine gold, and
an Indian Head gold $2.50 with the Bela
Lyon Pratt design containing 1/8th ounce of
.9167 fine gold.
The platinum coins asked for are a
Buffalo nickel design quarter ounce of .9995
fine metal, a Mercury dime design 1/8thounce platinum coin of .9995 fineness and a
Walking Liberty half dollar design used for a
3/4-ounce .9995 fine platinum coin.
The petition calls on the U.S. Mint to
take advantage of the “broad authority” in the
hands of the Treasury secretary to mint and
issue numismatic coins and platinum coins.
In an email to me, sponsor Peter Rosconi
writes: “I saw other collectors wanting to
take a stand on the products that the U.S.
Mint produces and I think that it is a great
idea to do so. Also the Secretary of the
Treasury has the broad authority to mint and
issue gold and platinum coins and has used
this authority to recreate coins that are classics, which was the case with the 2009 Ultra
High Relief gold coin. This was very popular
and very well received by the numismatic
community and the U.S. Mint should take
that idea further.”
To clear the field for these new issues, the
petition recommends eliminating the current
collector versions of the gold and platinum
American Eagle bullion coins as well as
Buffalo bullion coins.
Posted at GoPetition.com on April 29 was
a forerunner petition. It seeks the gold coins
in similar language as the other, but in addition it asks for a 1/20th-ounce addition to the
gold American Eagle series.
It also suggested that the U.S. Mint begin
“a pilot program where it would submit a
certain amount of these proposed gold coins
to NGC and or PCGS directly for certification and to sell these certified coins directly
to the public and determine an issue price
based on the grade assigned by NGC and
or PCGS.”
Perhaps the ideas for a 20th ounce and
slabbed Mint coins were too hot for the
second petition as the language was dropped.
So far there are 20 electronic signers of
the May 2 petition while there are only eight
signers of the April 29 document.

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.

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.

COIN CLINIC
First ‘baseball’ coin from canal
■ Is there a “baseball player” coin?
The nickname applies to the 1915
Panama-Pacific $1 gold coin, designed
by Charles Keck. His original Poseidon
design was rejected for a pose of a typical
worker on the canal, wearing a hat similar
to the present billed baseball cap. There
also is the more recent 1992 Nolan Ryan
Olympic coin, with a design copied from
a Ryan baseball card.
■ I have an old Mexican coin that has
a raised design that looks like a very large
“S” on top of the regular design. Is this a
special countermark of some kind?
From the appearance, it looks like
this is the remains of some silver solder
used to make the coin into a button. This
was a very common practice in the last
two centuries all over the world. Almost
all countermarks and counterstamps are
added to the coin after it was minted and
are incuse, or into the surface. You should
always be suspicious of any added relief
design like this.
■ Has the U.S. Mint ever coated or
treated the coins it sells to collectors?
About the only incident I’m aware of
that would fit your question was some
research conducted following the introduction of the copper-plated zinc cents in
1982. The serious problems resulting from
the zinc corroding led to studies of the
possibility of using a lacquer – as old-time
coin collectors did – or some other coating to protect the proof cents from the air.
The intent was to either install the equipment or farm the job out to a private firm,
but apparently better cleaning methods for
the zinc prior to plating made the extra
step unnecessary, or uneconomical.
■ When was the old New York Assay
office built?
A rather imposing five-story building

at bargain prices.
Time has proven that they were
not the bargains they were thought
to be, but the comparison of sales
numbers of April 2013 to April 2014
shows just how much the market has
changed in a year.
Last year the April monthly sales
figure was 187,500 one-ounce coins.
For April 2014, the number was
26,000, a drop of 86 percent.
If it is unfair to compare the two
months because of the unusual circumstances that prevailed in 2013,
then a look at the sales levels of the
first four months of 2013 compared
to the first four months of 2014 is
in order.
In 2013 period sales were 434,000
one-ounce coins. In 2014 the number
was 126,500, a drop of 71 percent.
That is a lesser decline, but not by
much.
The decline in Buffalo sales was
a milder 37 percent for the first
four months of the year compared
to 2013.

Visit with ‘CoinsWeekly’ editor Kampmann
By Howard M. Berlin
Being retired, I have the enjoyable sideline
and good fortune to spend my children’s future
inheritances to travel worldwide, visiting and
writing about museums, mints and central
banks that have numismatic exhibitions.
A recent trip was a return to Switzerland
after eight years, with stays in Zurich and
Basel. While in Basel I had decided to take
a day trip just across the Swiss-German
border to visit Ursula Kampmann, another
numismatic traveler. She is also the founder,
editor, and publisher of the online numismatic English-language weekly magazine,
“CoinsWeekly,” and its German-language
counterpart, “MünzenWoche.”
Ground zero of her publishing and editorial group is in the little Baden-Württemberg
town of Lörrach, a 15-minute S-Bahn
train ride that seamlessly crosses over the
German-Swiss border without any need for
passport controls. For Uschi, as her friends
call her, this location adjacent to the border
is ideal for her to handle both her German
and Swiss clients.
Kampmann started the weekly online
magazine five years ago, realizing that the
Internet was a fast and inexpensive means
to disseminate information to many people
worldwide. She feels that it is important
to connect markets – such that Americans
should know what is happening in Europe,
or Russians know about China. Of numismatics, Kampmann also wants to connect
all the various numismatic fields – coins,
paper money, etc. Ideally, she envisions that
“CoinsWeekly” would be the place where
the reader will find the whole world of
numismatics in one website.
Ursula’s interests in numismatics started
about 25 years ago, getting her doctorate in
ancient history, specializing on numismatics. Since then she worked for about 15

Award in 2002 at Basel’s World Money
Fair, the Otto-Paul-Wenger Award in 2012
from the Association of Swiss Professional
Numismatists, and was recently made a

In addition to the weekly publications,
Kampmann is the editor of sister publications “MintWorld” and the “MintWorld
Compendium,” a semi-annual magazine in
both printed form and online, which is
now entering its third year of publication.
At Ursula’s request based on my travels, I
recently wrote an article for the “MintWorld

After arriving at her office, about a
three-block walk from the city’s Stetten
train station, I had some time to share with
Ursula and her capable right-hand man,
Björn Schöpe, who in addition to sharing the
writing duties in both German and English,
speaks fluent Italian and does just about
whatever else needs to be done.
The actual writing of “CoinsWeekly”
takes only one day after collecting the news
happenings since the previous week’s edition. Both the English and German versions
are usually finished for distribution to more
than 6,000 subscription-free readers in 120
countries by noon on Thursday. All writing
is done without using software to translate
from one language to the other, like online
translators by Google and Bing. Nor is there
any voice recognition software used to speed
up the process. Soon, the two-person staff of
Ursula and Björn will add a third member
to handle increased workload of providing outsourced editorial services for many
numismatic auction houses which Ursula
has as clients.

some cake, and chatting about traveling, I
was taken on a brief tour of the three-room

numismatic reference material here. In both
Ursula’s office, which is much neater than

More birds appear on coins of St. Helena
Dennis D. Rainey
In an earlier issue of World Coin News
I told you about the St. Helena plover
or commonly called the wirebird that
appears on a 2013 St. Helena coin. In this
article I will cover the red-billed tropicbird (Phaethon aethereus), masked booby
(Sula dactylatra) and band-rumped storm
petrel, also called Madeiran storm petrel
(Oceandroma castro), all appearing on St.
Helena coins.
St. Helena is associated with two
other remote islands (dependencies of
St. Helena), Ascension (810 miles northwest) and Tristan da Cunha 1,510 miles
south from St. Helena. The three are
British Overseas Territories.
The specifications of the four coins are:
issued in 2013, 25 shillings, base metal,
gold plated, diameter 38.6 mm, portrait of
Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
Red-billed Tropicbird: Phaethon
(Gr. the sun) was the name of the genus
given by Linnaeus to the red-billed tropicbird in allusion to its attempt to follow
the sun. The species name aethereus is
Latin for heavenly and was given to this
tropicbird for its ethereal plumage and
graceful flight.
Tropicbirds spend most of their lives
over ocean waters and come to land only
to breed There are only three species of
tropicbirds in the world. They are: redbill, red-tailed (P. rubricauda ) and whitetailed (P. lepturus). Tropicbirds were
considered formerly to be in the same
large group (Order) as pelicans, boobies,
frigatebirds, cormorants, and others, but
DNA research has revealed tropicbirds
have no close relatives and are now in
their own order Phaethontiformes.
The red-billed tropicbird has a very
large range occurring in tropical Atlantic,
Indian and eastern Pacific Oceans. There
are records for California, Florida and
one for Arizona. The red-tailed occurs
in the Indian Ocean, western and central
tropical Pacific. The white-tailed is in
most of the tropical waters except in
eastern Pacific Ocean.
The red-billed is the largest of the
38
The band-rumped storm petrel is featured on a 2013 St. Helena coin.
(Photos courtesy of Halbert Carmichael)
three tropicbirds with a total length of
35 to 41 inches. The head and underparts
are white, with faint black lines on the
white back, wings with black tips, black
stripe through the eyes, crimson bill and
wedge-shaped tail with two long central
tail feathers (18-20 inches) and a wingspan of 39-43 inches.
Typically the red-billed flies well
above the surface of the water and often
it soars high in the sky. They feed on
fish (especially flying-fish) and squid
by plunging into the water but only for
a few inches.
There are three geographic varieties
(subspecies) of this species. The one on
the coin is P. a. aethereus. As stated above
tropicbirds have to come to land to breed,
and this subspecies nests only on two of the
islands: St. Helena and Ascension.
This species is monogamous. Nests
are but a scrape under rocks, on ledges,
in caves or cavities. A pair engages in
complicated highly acrobatic courtship
flight before mating. One will fly just
above the other one with its wings almost
touching the wings of the other one. Both
swish their streamer tail feathers and go
higher and then plunge down to just above
the water surface and then spiral upward
again. They will repeat this several times
and return to the nest site and mate. The
female lays one egg and both incubate it
for 42 to 44 days. The young fledges in
12-13 weeks. I was unable to find recent
population estimates of breeding pairs of
this subspecies, but a 1981 estimate for
St. Helena was 86 pairs and 600 pairs on
Ascension, but another estimate was 500
pairs (see below).
Masked Booby: There are seven species of boobies all belonging to the
genus Sula. Boobies are large sea birds
of tropical oceans and rare visitors to
North America. The masked booby is
the largest. Their name may be from
the Spanish word bobo, which means
“stupid.” Boobies often plop down on
the deck of ships, and seamen in early
sailing vessels promptly caught them and
had a fine dinner that night.
My wife and I were fishing one day in
the Salton Sea, which is a large saltwater
lake in the desert of southern California,
and as we approached a large wooden
structure I saw a large bird sitting starRainey/Page 40
39

Rainey/from Page 38
ing at our approaching boat. We got to
within about 20 feet and I recognized it
as a blue-footed booby. This is the only
booby I have seen. It never did fly off,
and we drifted away.
The red-billed booby is 32-36 inches
long and the wing span is 60 inches. It
has blue-gray facial skin (the “mask”),
white head and neck, white body and
trailing edge of wings are black.
Masked boobies were very abundant
in early 16th century when St. Helena
island was discovered, but it did not take
long for humans following settlement
in 1659 and their mammalian predators
(domestic cats, Norway and black rats)
to start killing the boobies and eventually wiped them out on the St. Helena
mainland. Then in a 2011 scientific paper
researchers reported finding the first
instance of masked boobies breeding
again on the mainland. (Bolton, M. et
al. 2011. Re-colonization and successful breeding of masked boobies Sula
dactylatra on mainland St Helena, South
Atlantic, in the presence of feral cats
Felis catus. Seabird 24: 60-71.) They
found one pair with a chick, four pairs
were confirmed incubating eggs, and 25
pairs apparently incubating eggs. They
monitored the sites up to 2010 and they

found moderate fledging success. Now
there about 150 birds and about 60 nests.
They speculated that are fewer cats or
cats are preying on other prey more easily
killed. Good news indeed!
Band-rumped Storm-Petrel: This is
a small family of 20 species 12 of which
are in the genus Oceandroma. Stormpetrels are the smallest of the seabirds.
The band-rumped is 7-8 inches long with
a wingspan of 17-18 inches and weighs
a maximum of less then 2 ounces. They
are entirely pelagic coming to land only
to breed. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution occurring in all oceans.
Regrettably, not much is known about
their natural history because they are
hard to find and identify at sea and when
on land they carry out their courtship and
mating in the dark.
Members of the genus Oceandroma
are mostly restricted to the northern
hemisphere. The band-rumped breeds
in eastern Atlantic from Azores down
to St. Helena and Ascension islands, in
the Pacific off eastern Japan, on Kauai,
Hawaii, and on the Galapagos. The species is fairly common on mid-Atlantic
Coasts off North Carolina and Virginia.
A few records of storm driven individuals inland in the U.S.A.
They eat small crustaceans, small
fishes and other marine animals. They
are colonial nesters in rock crevices, and
are strictly nocturnal at breeding sites
to avoid being eaten by gulls and skuas.
They do not even come to land during a
full moon. Females lay a single egg.
I discovered that by far most of these
three species that are associated in the
literature with Ascension Island are not
on that island, but are on Boatswain Bird
Island, a small island (13 acres) less
than 1,000 feet from the eastern coast
of Ascension. It is solid white due to the
bird droppings. The reason birds nest
there is because of rats and cats eating
the eggs and birds on Ascension. There
are thousands of birds using this tiny cat
and rat free island as nesting grounds.
For example, 10 percent (1200 pairs)
of the Atlantic’s masked booby population
use the island for nesting. About 3,000
band-rump storm-petrels nest there and
500 pairs of red-billed tropicbirds nest
also here and nearby cliffs of Ascension.
White-tailed tropicbirds (2,200 individuals), red-footed bobbies (about 30) and
brown boobies (2,000 birds) also nest
here. Every square foot of the island will
have a nesting seabird. Not any of the four
species of birds on the St. Helena coins
are on Tristan da Cunha Island, according
to the website Avibase.

Fairmount, N.D., comes into view
By Mark Hotz
Many thanks to those who emailed me about last month’s
article on Civil War-inscribed currency. As part of the Civil War
Sesquicentennial commemorations, I hope to bring some more similar articles to you in coming months. As most of you are well aware,
and probably experiencing yourselves, this has been a very hard winter for most of the country, the East coast included. The weather and
a certain lack of zeal have made it difficult for me to travel around.
So, this month I pulled a note from my collection and have wrapped
this shortened article around it.
Some months back, I had the chance to present to you a look at
Marmarth, N.D., in the far western part of the state. It was a town that
I had not visited and likely will never would, but via Google Earth
I was able to see what was still there and the like. So, this month,
I thought we would look at another small North Dakota town, this
one in the far eastern part of the state, a town from which I have a
National Bank Note, and one from which I could locate good photographs of the old bank building.
So, this month, let’s take a short jaunt to North Dakota’s Richland
County, the most southeasterly of the state’s subdivisions. The town
we are going to visit is tiny Fairmount, the easternmost town in all of
This Series of 1902 $20 issued by the First National Bank of Fairmount,
N.D., is from the author’s collection.
North Dakota, located just off State Route 11 near the Bois de Sioux
River that separates North Dakota from Minnesota.
The original town site that became Fairmount had been known
as the Michigan settlement, but the town was incorporated as
Fairmount on May 9, 1887. The first settlers came from Michigan
led by E.W. Spaulding, a successful Michigan farmer who, after

This vintage 1910 view of Main Street in Fairmount shows the
First National Bank building at the center, marked by arrow.
A similar view of Fairmount circa 1915, shows the First National
Bank at center.
Here is the center of Fairmount, N.D., today. Just the bank
building, now abandoned, and adjacent commercial block are
left from the structures shown in the old photos.
This is the Citizens National Bank of Wahpeton, N.D., located
just north of Fairmount, as it appeared when robbed by the
Barker-Karpis Gang in 1932.

Hotz/from Page 42
scouting many regions of the Midwest,
proclaimed that the region west of the Bois
de Sioux River was the “best farmland in
the country.” These first pioneers referred to
their settlement as Sewall Station. The name
“Fairmount” was proposed by Mr. Henvis
in 1887. Henvis hailed from Philadelphia,
where the National Centennial Exposition
had recently been held at Fairmount Park.
The first decades of the city of Fairmount
saw its growth and prosperity reach its
zenith. The period from 1910 to 1915 were
called the boom years. Fairmount was
uniquely favored in its infrastructure owing
to its excellent location at the juncture
of four major railroads: the Milwaukee,
the Great Northern, the Soo Line, and
the Fairmount and Veblen Railroad, which
began in 1913.
The First National Bank of Fairmount
was founded in 1902, a typical Gold Standard
Act bank with a small capitalization of
$25,000. It received charter 6255, and operated more or less successfully until 1925,
when it voluntarily liquidated, having issued
$233,000 in Series of 1902 currency. Just a
handful of these notes are known today.
Fairmount was originally just a farming community, but with the arrival of the
railroads, it became the only town in North
Dakota to claim service by four different
railroads. Unfortunately, these lines did not
last, and as the railroad traffic fell, so did
Fairmount’s fortunes.
Fairmount today is a quiet village with
a population of 367, according to the 2010
census. I have included some early postcard
views of Fairmount as it appeared in the early
part of the 20th century. The First National
Bank can be seen at the center of the block.
I have marked the pictures with an arrow
pointing to the bank building. Today, most
of the structures seen in those old photos
have been demolished. The only two brick
structures left in the center of Fairmount are
the bank and the adjoining brick commercial
structure. I have included a photo of those
buildings as they appear today.
It is worth noting that Fairmount is
part of Richland County, whose seat is
Wahpeton, located 20 miles due north of
Fairmount. Wahpeton, besides being the
largest town in the county (population

23,000), was the home of the Citizens
National Bank of Wahpeton, which had
the dubious honor of being robbed by the
Barker-Karpis Gang on Sept. 30, 1932. As
the story goes, on this date Alvin Karpis,
“Doc” Barker, and two others walked into
the bank with guns drawn. A cashier tried
to hit the burglar alarm, but was caught and
beaten by one of the robbers. The gang got
$7,000 from the assistant cashier, and took
two women hostages in case there was an
ensuing gunfight.
As they headed out the back door, a
man saw the robbers and ran to a nearby
store to sound the alarm. The people of
Wahpeton formed a posse and pursued the
gang members. A small fire fight broke
out when the posse caught up to them. The
only injuries, and those were minor, were
suffered by the two female hostages. The
robbers escaped the posse and dropped off
the two wounded women at a farmhouse
20 miles east of Wahpeton.
I have attached a photo of the Citizens
National Bank of Wahpeton as it appeared at
the time of the robbery. Over 40 small notes
are known from this bank—perhaps some of
those were part of the loot.
