A large-size $10 from the McGill National
Bank leads a group of 58 Nevada National Bank
Notes that will be offered in a Holabird Western
Americana Collections auction Sept. 11-13.
The $10 note might be unique, Holabird
said, and he graded it uncirculated.
“At the height of the market, before the
crash, it might have been worth upwards of
$100,000,” Holabird said. “But it might be
worth $50,000 today. The bidders will tell us.”
When the McGill bank closed in 1934
there was only $1,210 in National Bank
Notes outstanding, Holabird said. “They got
almost all of it back,” he explained.

Denver churns out billion
By David C. Harper
The Denver Mint struck nearly one
billion coins for circulation use during the
month of June.
Philadelphia maintained a more leisurely pace, registering output of nearly
700 million during the month.
The two mints together cranked out
almost 1.7 billion coins to bring the total
for the first six months of 2015 to over 9
billion pieces.

Patti Roberts patti.roberts@fwcommunity.com
While the 2015 High Relief $100
gold coin enters the numismatic marketplace starting July 30, notably absent
will be a high relief silver medal companion piece.
It will not be offered to collectors in
2015, according to the Mint. It might
never be offered at all, but that decision
has not yet been made.
The Citizens Coinage Advisory
Committee had great expectations for the
artwork possibilities inherent in a high
relief silver design, but the Mint so far is
not content with the quality it has achieved.

Keep those quarter designs coming
Can you believe next year is the seventh year for the America the Beautiful
coin program? Where has the time gone?
I have a bookmark from the U.S. Mint
hanging on my wall listing all 56 design
themes in order of issuance from the 2010
beginning to the 2021 conclusion. Under
it I still have the state quarter program
bookmark. I still refer to it from time to
time to find out what year each design
was released. I need to check something,
otherwise I would not know that the
Texas quarter was issued in the same year
as Wisconsin’s. I expect most collectors
would not be able to recall this, either,
let alone all five designs of 2004 without
some sort of memory aid of this kind.
Release by the Mint of the 2016 quarter designs has got me thinking about
future multi-year coin programs. Should a
third quarter series follow the conclusion
of ATB coins in 2021?
I think there should be a third series,
but where this thought will lead is anybody’s guess. Fortunately, we have five
years or so to think about it.
Class of
’63
David C. Harper
The states and territories followed by
the parks, forests and monuments in them
make for two very nice sets of coins.
Can we even find a third?
It might have made better sense to
have put the Presidents on quarters rather
than dollar coins that nobody uses. Then
at least kids as well as adults could see
every one of them in the correct order.
Who was President before Millard
Fillmore? Don’t feel bad if you had to
look it up to find that Zachary Taylor
was. I did. The only way I could answer
that question without peeking is to recite
the Presidents in order as I learned them
many years ago, but that is a little like
saying six comes before seven by counting on my fingers.
Should we take inspiration from the
proof platinum Eagles and look to govern-
ment for themes, say all 27 amendments
to the Constitution? But then Prohibition
and the repeal of Prohibition would be
two of the coins. My grandmother would
have never approved of such a focus on
alcohol.
Coin collectors would like it if we created a set of all of the old coin designs
going back to 1792, but such a set would
probably be lost on the average member
of the public.
The number of teams in Major League
Baseball is 30. That would make a nice
multi-year quarter set. It might even be
popular, but you know it would never
fly. It shows partiality and the end result
would probably be a 50-year sequence
honoring every team of every conceivable
sport right down to professional skateboarding.
So where does that leave us? What
should follow the America the Beautiful
series? Send in your suggestions. Doing
nothing will bring us back to the eagle
from the original Washington quarter. I
have not missed it in 17 years, have you?

No living person should be
on American coinage
In one of the previous issues of
Numismatic News, the question was raised
about the Presidential dollar series continuing with still living Presidents of the United
States. I say no. It has been an American
tradition since the minting of the first coins
produced by the U.S. Mint that no living
person shall be on a circulating coin.
Even though there has been some incidents when a living person appeared on an
issued coin, for the most part our tradition
has remained intact since 1792.

Actually, the U.S. government should
not create any more golden dollar series.
They – the government – says it’s to stimulate the use of the small dollar coin. LOL!
As long as there’s a foldable dollar, the dollar coin will not be in general circulation no
matter how many series they try to put out.
The coin circulates well in Cleveland,
Ohio, as long as you are using the city’s
transit system. All buses and trains require
exact change and at many of the rapid transit stations there are change machines that
will give you quarters and dollar coins for
your $5, $10 and/or $20 bills, so you will
have exact change to purchase a $2.25 oneway transit ticket.
(The system does take dollar bills as
much as the coins as well.)
No matter how many series the government comes up with to stimulate use of the
dollar coin, it won’t circulate in the general
population as long as the paper dollar is
being produced. The only way to stimulate
the use of the dollar coin is to stop printing
paper dollars. The Crane Paper Company
can still provide the paper for the $5, $10,
$20, $50 and $100 bills without losing any
money.
Stop printing dollar bills and demonetize
their value. There are billions of dollar coins
in the vaults languishing around the nation.
Let’s set them free to stimulate the economy.

Truman set order went fast,
reverse proof spectacular
I ordered about 12:01 p.m. June 30 without a problem and was done in one minute
or so. Unbelievably, the sets (2) arrived
today, July 7, at noon just eight days later.
The reverse proof dollar is simply spectacular. The 1 oz Truman medal is also a nice
item. The Mint sure had its head screwed on
straight with this issue.

VIEWPOINT
Use fewer $1 bills with new $3 bill
By Wayne Pearson
Saving the $1 bill could be achieved if
we did something as simple as adding a
new denomination. Consider this, what if
out of every 100 $1 bills that we produce,
instead we produce only 90. To make up
the other $10 we issue two $2 bills and two
$3 bills. The denomination is not new. We
had a $3 gold coin.
That is 94 pieces of paper rather than 100.
The ink saved multiplied by the number of $1
bills not made is a savings. When paying for a
purchase of less than a dollar, if you spend a
$5 you get back four $1 bills. That is why the
dollar bill is used so much.
If we were to use the $2 and $3, your
change would be a $3 and a $1 or two $2s.
If the paper dollar was used less by these
means, it would last longer.
Additionally, if a small amount of dollar
coins were made this too would make the
paper dollar last longer. Let me be clear on
what I mean. We don’t force the coins on
people and take away the paper dollar. That
is the stupid equivalent as taking away Coke
(original or classic) and forcing New Coke
on the people. If they had offered something
different while keeping the original Coke the
New Coke would have found a market even
if it was a small one. The same for the dollar
coin. It may only find a small market because
people like their paper dollar (original Coke)
but if vending machines accept the coins, they
would have a use. And we only issue dollar
coins in small amounts as needed, not like we
did in 1979 and 1980. We made enough dollar
coins to last until 1999 in two years.
The attempt to replace the paper dollar,
that isn’t the goal. If we didn’t make so many
golden dollars to flood the market we could
actually issue just enough to satisfy the need.
Back to the $3 bill. My idea is to use the
Statue of Freedom on the front and a bison
from an older Lewis and Clark $10 bill on
the back. With many not wanting to change
Hamilton or Jackson from the $10 and $20,
respectively, this idea of a $3 bill could be
used as a vehicle for using a woman on a
piece of paper money without upsetting the
apple cart. It would be new, unique and interesting and have a purpose. It wouldn’t require
color or security devices. The old saying that,
“He is as phony as a $3 bill” can be changed
to $4 bill. It can go under the drawer in the
register or paper clipped to the $2 bills and
kept under the $1 bills.

Letters/from Page 6
Truman order experience
not a successful one
I read with disgust the viewpoint by
William H. Brownstein, a California hobbyist, who also had a very bad experience
recently with our United States Mint
when he attempted to order a Truman
Chronicle Set.
My story: I also placed the time and
date on a calendar and was at the ready and
began calling the Mint at exactly 11 a.m.
Central Daylight Time on June 30.
By 11:01 he phone was answered by the
Mint’s computer.
I got through at 11:07 a.m. to “Steve.”
Steve had to be either new or a temporary because I had to give him the number
for the Chronicle set and the most recent roll
of San Francisco quarters (big mistake) and
had to prompt him throughout our telephone
exchange.
By the time “Steve” took my VISA numbers (twice) and then began to process the
order, I was then placed on hold, at 11:17
a.m. “Steve” came back on the line to tell
me the Chronicle set was sold out and that I
was not getting one.
Can you believe this story? I was actually
waiting for my Order Confirmation number
and “Steve” as slow as he was, couldn’t even
process one order for our U.S. Mint for even
one customer on the date and time they were
made available to the public.
Immediately, I asked to speak to his
supervisor. Someone with an additional first
name attempted appeasement to no avail.
What poor customer service the United
States Mint provides.
A great place of job security for poor
performers is at the United States Mint.
They really cannot or will not do anything
for you; hiding behind first names only.
That is what a letter to a congressman or
senator is for. Like Mr. Brownstein, I also
think they should “reconsider who makes
the decisions about their coinage and coin
programs.”
This was a deal breaker for me. No
more business for the United States Mint
from me.
I will simply adjust my collecting to old
coins exclusively from now on. No more of
this modern junk that usually devalues after
purchase from the United States Mint like
all the other Presidential dollar coins in my
collection, which now lack this key.
I’ve bought more from the Mint than I
ever should have.
Thanks to the “assistance” of Steve from
12
the United States Mint Ordering Processing
Center for allowing me a new focus on my
coin collecting.
Thanks, Steve.

Is Truman brochure bullet
point an error?
On page 15 of the Truman Coin &
Chronicles set pamphlet there is a bullet
point for “Circulating Coins first issued
under President Truman – Roosevelt
dime (1946), Jefferson nickel (1946), and
Franklin half dollar (1948).”
Is this a mistake, or were the Jefferson
nickels issued from 1938-1945 considered
to be commemoratives and not circulating
coins by the Mint?
Harry Harrison
Lewisburg, Pa.
Editor’s note: Looks like a mistake.
The Jefferson nickel was a regular circulation strike starting its first year in 1938.
Entertainment, investment
with silver rounds
Interesting phenomenon today, July 7:
silver spot prices dipped below $15 an
ounce. It is at prices not as low since
February 2010. However, if you scouted the
online market place, silver American Eagles
were still being sold by the large dealers at
over $4.50 in price premiums above spot,
when previously the usual premium was
about $2.50 to $3 above spot.
On the flipside, generic silver rounds
were selling by the large dealers at as low
as 69 cents above spot price. Of course,
numismatic coins were largely unaffected.
This fact is really affecting where the
average person is placing their funds. Of
course any hobbyist or collector enjoys the
history and collectibility of numismatics.
Unfortunately, we still haven’t seen a price
decline on average numismatics due to the
precious metal market. I think that what we
are seeing is large stock of numismatic coins
sitting in dealer showcases while the public
turns their attention to generic or seminumismatic fare that is more closely tied to
the lower precious metal market.
I think that eventually the numismatic
market will adjust itself, but it really hasn’t
happened over the last two years. I think
that everyone is expecting that the precious
metal market will make a comeback, and
therefore the sellers will not have to take a
hit on the sale of their numismatic fare.
However, surprisingly, the precious metal
market seems to be in a further decline due
to the strong dollar. It doesn’t seem that even
the fall of the Greek financial system is a
strong enough influence on the market here,
or has the tidal wave just not reached us yet?
One company, Provident Metals, is preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse by having
introduced about a year ago limited edition
and limited minting of silver rounds dated
2017 and 2018 and beyond that are dubbed
the “Currency of the Zombie Apocalypse.”
These .999 fine one-ounce silver rounds
include such designs spoofed off of the classical designs. They include the (Morgan)
“Morgue Anne” silver round, the (Standing
Liberty) “Starving Liberty” silver round,
the (Seated Liberty) “Slayed Dollar” silver
round, the (Mercury) Murk Diem and most
recently released the (Flying Eagle) Dying
Eagle silver round, as well as others …
Of course to some this may be a silly
representation, but I think it exudes the
mentality of some, particularly if we open
our eyes and see the mountains of debt that
our government has heaped on itself in the
last eight years, the sluggish economy and
the status of what is happening in other
countries such as Greece.
For Greek citizens, they definitely see
the apocalypse when their life savings are
locked up in banks, and they can only
withdraw $67 at a time. Something to
think about.

Half dollars stump clerk
at coffee shop
After reading your article, it made me
chuckle to think about a similar experience I
had, but instead in the United States and on
an Army Post.
I bought a cup of coffee at a Starbucks.
My total was $3.25. I gave the cashier $3.50
in Kennedy half dollar coins.
The guy just looked at them then asked
me what they were.
I explained they were U.S. half dollars
and President Kennedy was on the obverse.
The guy still confused, stated he
never had seen them before and counted
them as quarters and asked for the rest
of the balance.
I replied, stating that actually he owed
me 25 cents. The cashier just shrugged his
shoulders and returned my change.
A little history lesson for a cup of coffee,
not a bad trade.

Cheaper gold, more 2016 sales?
Collectors of U.S. coins might have to
say thank you to China.
Why?
Read on.
Expectations are building among
coin collectors about next year’s U.S.
Mint offering of gold Mercury dimes,
Standing Liberty quarters and Walking
Liberty half dollars.
The new versions of the old designs
will be issued to celebrate their 100th
anniversary of introduction in 1916.
The only fly in the ointment regarding their popularity is the fact that gold
is a very expensive metal and collectors
would much rather see the old designs
in silver.
Silver versions will not happen.
Perhaps happily, gold is getting cheaper.
That means the price of the new gold
coins will follow the metal lower.
The price of gold bullion has fallen
again today. News reports indicate the
metal fell below $1,100 an ounce on
Chinese selling. That kicks a major prop
out from under the market.
e-letters
If Chinese sell as well as buy, they
become ordinary rather than the vanguard of a new gold-only monetary
order. It means they recognize that the
metal fluctuates.
Another disappointment for the market
late Friday occurred when the People’s
Republic revealed its gold holdings for
the first time since 2009.
China now officially holds 53.31 million troy ounces, up 57 percent in six
years. This compares to the 261 million
troy ounces held by the United States.
The figure is lower than market analysts had previously believed.
It puts China in sixth position of official gold holders.
The United States, Germany, the
International Monetary Fund, Italy and
France are ahead of it.
So the gold market sold off today.
Whatever else it might do, falling gold
prices will make the gold 2016 Mercury
dimes, Standing Liberty quarters and
Walking Liberty halves more affordable
for collectors.
Buyers will save money, perhaps a lot of
money. As a result, sales will likely be higher than they otherwise would have been.
But gold coin buyers also are skittish.
If gold bullion is falling like a rock the
day the order period begins for the 2016
coins, the Mint’s prices will likely be too
high and sales will suffer as a result.
On the other hand, a gentle decline in
gold’s price between now and then will
open the door of affordability to many
more collectors.
Because of the sizes, it is possible
that more 10th-ounce Mercury dimes
will sell than quarter-ounce Standing
Liberty quarters or half-ounce Walking
Liberty halves.
I hope the Mint will take that into
account when it creates its various sales
options.
However, cheaper gold means more of
all three designs could be snapped up by
collectors.
If this is the result of Chinese gold
sales, then we collectors should say
thank you.
from the Feb. 12 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.
Is drop in the order limit from 5 to 2 a good idea for the Ike Coin
and Chronicles set?
Absolutely! Why not make it one so
collectors (like me) not those eBay people
(in it only for the profit) have a chance to
own one at the original issue price. It just
seems funny that I wait two weeks for my
one Truman set and eBay is already selling slabbed versions.
Charles Jordan North Las Vegas Nev.
I agree with the limit. I have been collecting since 1960 as a hobby collector. I
think our “Hobby” is being hijacked by
dealers, speculators and investors. The
everyday collector is being forced out of
the market. While I believe dealers are an
14
important part of the hobby, there should
be room for the average collector also.
Everyone should have reasonable access
to all the Mint’s products. When the Mint
allows bulk orders of limited items, there
aren’t enough to last more than 10 to 15
minutes once orders are opened up. The
U.S. Mint’s prices are bad enough, but
the speculators, etc., add another layer
to the costs. Case in point, the recent
Truman set could be obtained from the
Mint at a cost of $57.95, and today I got
an email ad from a firm that advertised
the set for $179. That seems to me to be
an excessive price. I’m afraid that if this
trend continues, the average collector will
disappear and then who will the dealers,
etc., sell their inflated products to? By
the way, I was fortunate enough to get
my Mint order filled for two sets. I have
obtained all the previous issues of Coin &
Chronicles sets with no problem. I assume
that the reverse proofs in the current sets
have created the frenzy. I hope I will be
able to complete this series without too
much trouble.

Not a good idea.

July gold Eagle sales best yet in 2015
By Connor Falk
A weakening gold price has pushed
sales of gold American Eagles to their
best month yet in 2015. The United States
Mint reported July 21 that it had sold
101,000 one-ounce, 6,000 half-ounce,
20,000 quarter-ounce and 95,000 tenthounce gold Eagles for a total of 118,500
troy ounces of gold. This surpasses
January, the previous highest sales month
by 37,500 ounces.
The John F. Kennedy First Day Coin
Cover went on sale July 16. By July 19,
collectors purchased 14,722 sets.
The Mint has sold out of the 2013
White Mountain three-coin sets with
18,038 sets sold.

The Mint placed a new product, a 2015
coin and currency set, on its schedule for
new releases. It is to go on sale Aug. 24.
The Mint has not yet released any other
details. Can we assume the 2015 coin and
currency set will be similar to the 2014
release, which had an enhanced uncirculated Native American dollar and series
2013 $1 note?

‘Mad dolphins’ removed from quarter
■ Didn’t the intended design for
MacNeil’s Standing Liberty quarter
originally include two dolphins?
Two fugitives – or leftovers – from the
1915 Panama-Pacific $1 and $50 of 1915
were stranded at the left and right bases of
the wall on MacNeil’s design for the 1916
quarter, but after the Mint called them “mad
dolphins” they were dropped.
retired Krause Publications CEO) issue
some private medals back about 1960?
He was responsible for a set of
eight 40mm medals issued to mark
the statehood of Alaska and Hawaii in
eight different finishes – 10 karat gold,
sterling silver, oxidized brass, bright
brass, aluminum, nickel-silver, oxidized
copper and bright copper.
■ What was the actual mintage of the
1875 gold half eagle?
The total mintage was 220. 20 of these
are proofs, and of those only nine are
accounted for by Breen.
■ What was the source of the name for
Washington’s estate?
The land originally belonged to
Lawrence Washington, George’s half
brother. Lawrence named the estate “Mount
Vernon” after the very popular English
Admiral, Edward Vernon, who captured
Porto Bello in 1739. Upon Lawrence’s
death in 1752, George inherited part of
Mount Vernon.
■ Did the U.S. Mint have a collection of
Washington material?
The Mint formed what was called the
Washington Cabinet with coins and medals
honoring Washington, dedicating it in 1859.
A number of the restrikes and special coins
produced by the Mint in that era were used
to trade for pieces needed for this cabinet.
■ Are there restrikes of patterns like
there are of the regular coins?
Certainly. A number of the U.S. Mint
patterns – such as the Judd-132 1851 copper
dollar – were struck years after the coin
date. In this case the striking was about
1858. Seems strange that they would be
called patterns, but ...
■ Just where is Roanoke Island?
As any Tarheel knows, Roanoke Island
is in North Carolina. The commemorative
half dollar of 1937 marks the 350th
anniversary of Sir Walter Raleigh’s ill-fated
settlement there.
■ Don’t all U.S. coins have solid stars?
One exception would be the 1859 half
dimes struck at Philadelphia. For some
reason a new die was introduced that had
hollow (outline) stars rather than the regular
solid stars.
■ Did the Myddelton coins for the
British Colony of Kentucky, dated 1796,
ever circulate?
More properly tokens, rather than coins,
the pieces are only known in proof and
apparently they did not circulate.
■ Didn’t Clifford Mishler (presently the
20
■ Please explain the cause of the 1796
large cent that has the spelling as LIHERTY?
The die maker cut the “B” into the die
facing in the wrong direction – actually as
it would look on the coin – then discovered
his mistake and cut the “B” again, this time
correctly. The result is a letter that looks
more like an “H” than anything else.
■ There’s one variety of the Connecticut coppers of 1787 that has a date that
looks more like 1767 and has arrows at the
date. Do they mean the same thing as the
arrows on later U.S. coins?
The variety would be described as an
“open” 8, (which looks like a “6”) and it
also has arrows at the ends of the legends,
apparently as decorations, rather than as a
means to designate changes in weight as on
later U.S. coins.
■ Is it true that some of the pattern
coins from the U.S. Mint are found in badly
damaged condition?
Mint practice in certain cases was
to deface the pattern coins with a heavy
hammer, leaving deep dents. Since the
damage is assumed (but can’t be proved) to
have occurred at the Mint, it has a limited
effect on the value of the piece.
■ If Templeton Reid never left Georgia,
how come some of his (privately issued)
coins bear the words, CALIFORNIA GOLD?
Reed may have left Georgia, but he never
was in California, to set the record straight.
He struck the coins on gold brought back to
the East by prospectors from the California
gold fields. Reed purchased the gold, then
made the dies to match the source.
■ Are there some 1853 quarter eagles
that were struck with cent dies?
The explanation may be a bit confusing, but the die used for the obverse of the
quarter eagles of that year was used to strike
pattern cents in combination with a large
cent reverse, which has an olive branch and
the denomination but without the UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA. The obverse die
used for the quarter eagles thus was not a
cent die, but was used to strike pattern cents.
■ What would a million dollars in $20
gold pieces weigh?
It would be a backbreaking load. 4,480.84
troy pounds, or 3,685.71 avoirdupois pounds.
■ Has it ever been determined what the
significance of the 94 stars is on the 1794
starred reverse cent?
No specific reason for them has been
found. Dr. Sheldon noted that they were
probably the result of some idle time at
the Mint. The number has no apparent
importance other than to complete the
design.
■ Do you have any information about
an incident back in the 1980s when a man
bought an old oil well platform off the coast
of California and declared it a country,
complete with currency and stamps?
I vaguely recall it, but I don’t have any
specifics in my files. Perhaps a reader
could help.
■ A question on Olympic medals. Are
any of them ever offered for sale?
The actual game medals are offered for
sale from time to time. Since 1920, gold
medals are actually plated silver.
■ Is it true that most of the coins in
King Farouk’ s massive collection were
harshly cleaned?
Some of the coins were cleaned, but
almost all of the copper pattern coins
in his collection had been scrubbed. As
you might expect, prices were discounted
accordingly.
Truman/from Page 1
price, up from double reported just two
weeks ago in the July 28 issue.
Where on July 16, ungraded Truman
Coin and Chronicles sets were selling
for $150 to $170 on eBay, by July 22,
10 auction listings averaged $190 a set
while eight buy it now offerings averaged $184. The buy it now average
is skewed downwards, though, by the
sale of a set for $89. The majority of
lots, both auctions and buy it now listings, have ended with sets purchased
for $185 to $200.
Issue price June 30 was $57.95
Sealed boxes of five sets receive
attention because they can be sent in
for First Strike or Early Release grading designations. Between July 11 and
July 21, collectors could order a sealed
box of five sets on eBay for $750 to
$900.
On July 22, six buy it now listings
for sealed boxes saw the cheapest lot
going for $734 while the most expensive box was $999.
This averages out to $882 per sealed
box of five sets.
Values for certified examples from
third-party grading services PCGS,
NGC and ANACS are even higher than
triple the initial sales price, though
only for perfect graded coins.
On eBay, a PCGS PR-70 First Strike
reverse proof Truman dollar alone
went to auction on July 13. After 46
bids, the coin sold for $3,601. By July
19, however, sets with both the dollar
and medal graded PCGS PR-70 and
MS-70 were trading between $1,675
and $1,902.
PCGS PR-69 graded coins were
selling for $175 to $186 as of July 22.
On July 23, the PCGS population
report stated that of the 457 reverse
proof Truman dollars seen, 24 graded
PR-70, 429 were PR-69 and four were
designated PR-68.
As for NGC graded coins, two
sets containing both the dollar and
medal, graded PF-70 and MS-70 Early
Release, respectively, sold for $799
and $800, the first on July 10 and the
second on July 17.
Two more offerings of NGC graded
sets were sold as buy it now lots for
22
Truman silver
Presidential medal
is paired with a
reverse proof dollar
in the Coin and
Chronicles set.
$1,295 on July 18. That same day, two
lots of just the Truman reverse proof
dollars graded by NGC sold, one in
a buy it now listing for $1,495 and
the other in an auction that went for
$1,441.
NGC grading totals are not yet
available for the reverse proof Truman
dollar.
Several ANACS graded PF-70 and
MS-70 lots of the dollar and medal
together have sold in the range of
$1,000.
It seems buyers are still figuring
out a good market value for graded
reverse proof dollars.
Matt Crane of L&C Coins, Los
Alamitos, Calif., said he’s following
the set’s secondary market performance on eBay.
“With a low mintage, there’s a
high demand for them,” he said. “It’s
a interesting concept including the
reverse proof dollar.”
L&C Coins is selling PCGS graded
PR-69 and MS-69 First Strike sets for
$210. They had ungraded sets, but
have since sold out of them, he said.
“We’ve had some good sales of the
PR-69 and MS-69 graded sets,” he
said. “Graded 70 sets are hard to come
by though. We’ve only gotten one or
two back from the grading services.”
He said he wonders what the secondary market will be for the next
release in the series, the Eisenhower
Coin and Chronicles set that goes on
sale Aug. 11.
“The Eisenhower set will be interesting since he’s popular and there’s
a lower household limit so it will be
harder to get a hold of a quantity of
them,” Crane said.
When the spotlight shifts to Ike,
prices for the Truman issue might fall.
It’s unknown where prices for the
Truman set will end up, but current
values could give foresight into how
much Eisenhower sets will go for
when they enter the secondary market.
The Truman Coin and Chronicles

GOLD BULLION MARKET VALUES
Looking for the low? This might just be it
By Richard Giedroyc
Gold and platinum are spiraling towards
a full correction. Platinum has dipped below
the $1,000 mark. Silver is in decline as
well, but not as severely. At the same time
equities are heading into record territory
despite this being July, the time of year
when the stock market usually declines due
to inactivity.
It really doesn’t matter to the business
of coins why the stock and bond markets
are doing so well. What is important is that
numismatics is evolving into the business
of coins rather than the hobby of coins.
Coins, be they rare or not, be they bullionrelated or not, have been evolving for years
into a coincidence barometer for the U.S.
economy, coins often moving in the opposite direction than that of the economy.
Coins increasingly are being treated as
a safe haven in times of economic crisis
just as are the precious metals. Since the
economy has recovered significantly from
the Great Recession, the coin market has
been slowly going south. It didn’t happen
all at once. For the first couple of years of
economic recovery the coin market continued to do well. Now that the economy is in
an expansion mode, the coin market is moving in the other direction. The majority of
Actual Melt Value
coin dealers make part of their living from
scrapping precious metal coins that are of
little interest to collectors. There are bullionrelated coins. Finally, there are the collectibles, common or scarce. Almost every sector has been impacted by the current trend.
Plan accordingly. This is a buyer’s market. If
you hope to buy low and sell high, this is the
low you are looking for.

This is the final installment in a threepart series by Neil Shafer. The first two
parts appeared in the April 28 and the
June 23 issues of Numismatic News
Express – Editor.
Sometimes a missed process in the
printing catches up with you in a surprising way. Here is a Chinese 100 yuan of
1941, each side of which should have
had a pair of the same serial numbers. On
this example the face has none, while the
back received two sets of different serial
numbers.
Do you believe a date on a note when
you see it? Well. You can look at a 20-peso
note with a date of 1491. But there’s a
second date on this piece, and it’s 1941—
much more believable.
Cutting and folding errors sometimes
result in amazing results. The pair of
Canadian dollar errors shown are as follows: first, a note with the large fold
tucked into the perimeter of the regular
issue. Then we see the same note with
the fold extended, and also a portion of
an adjacent dollar cut from the fold. I am
told that the cut-away piece is the rarity, as
most times such smaller segments get lost
in the shuffle.
Another kind of error results when
there is some obstruction covering the
paper about to be printed as money. The
group of five uncut Russian one-ruble
notes with part of their surface area
blank shows what can happen with
this kind of error.
The second image of a piece with
an obstruction is the $25 U.S. War
Savings Bond issued in 1943. It is
the only known error on a bond; see
the illustration on Page 32.
Notes printed from an underinked plate will show the effects of
the lack of wetness as very weak
You can’t believe everything
you read. The date at lower
left on this 20-peso Mexican
note is 1491, obviously a
printer’s error. The correct
date of 1941 is at right.

Here is a 100 yuan
Chinese Central Bank
issue of 1941. Both
sides are supposed to
have a set of the same
serial numbers. This
one received none on
the face and two sets
of different numbers
on its back.

This Venezuela 10-bolivares note suffered a long tear caused by the printing machinery. That tear
then flattened onto the note and received part of the serial number overprinting.
Safeway Stores did not make many printing
mistakes, judging from the substantial
quantity of its food stamp change scrip I
have examined. This is the single item of
its kind that I located. An example of the
normal printing is shown for comparison.
This Arizona issue of 1972-78 is among the
most attractively made of any food stamp
change pieces.
This English five-pound note was printed
with what is sometimes termed a “dry plate,”
where the plate was not inked enough to
provide a clear impression of the design.
The unobtrusive error on this bond is close to the bottom, in the red wording. The word WAR
lacks the R, and there is a small slice of the left side of the S in SAVINGS also missing. It was
a very small obstruction, but this bond in such form is the only known error piece of its kind.
32
Great error notes result from wet ink transfers;
the face is fully printed in retrograde on the
normal back. Both sides of this Mexican
500-peso note of 1972 illustrate the point
admirably.

design elements, as you can see on the
English five pounds.
Sometimes the paper is torn by the
printing machinery. Such an accident
occurred with the Venezuela 10 bolivares.
The whole upper part was ripped, then
fell back flat to receive part of the serial
number overprints.
The 50-cent food coupon was printed uniface. That fact accounts for the sharp retrograde
impression on the normally blank back.
The offset error is a result of sheets
with ink still wet being pressed together. A
retrograde impression of one side appears
as an overprint on the other; the wetter the
ink the more it shows up. Full overprints
create spectacular errors. Illustrated is
a Mexican 500 pesos issue from 1972
with a full impression of the face on the
regularly printed back.
Also shown are two food coupons.
First is 50-cent piece with a full retrograde print. It appears so sharp because
the piece was printed uniface, allowing
the offset design on the plain back to
show up beautifully. The second is a $2
coupon with a large ink smear on most
of the face.
Yet another retrograde piece deserves
attention, because it is a check dated
1886 from Montana. The entire face
printing is seen on the back, but the
check was still cashed the way it was
designed to be used.
Errors/Page 36
Another food coupon, this one a $2, illustrates what a huge ink smear looks like.
I had to include this early Montana check as it is such a prime example of the retrograde offset.
34
Five Russian one-ruble notes as a partial
sheet. Notice the blank area on the face,
the result of an obstruction between the
printing plate and the paper.

Errors/from Page 34
You can imagine my complete surprise when I found that I had actually been
handed a $1 error note out of regular circulation. Here is that note, face and back.
Have you ever been handed an error
note from circulation? That circumstance happened to me in 1957 while in
Philadelphia. When I received the dollar
bill it looked as though someone had just
taken a corner off at lower left. At first
I thought it was just a slightly damaged
piece, nothing to stop its being spent as
necessary. So imagine my total surprise
when I discovered the folding error that
had caused such an appearance. Both
sides are shown.
The last note I will discuss here is
a little food stamp change piece for 10
cents from Arizona. It was issued in 1972
by Safeway Stores, Phoenix Division, and
was found in a small pack of these notes.
The scene depicted is an area around
Superstition Mountain near Phoenix,
quite a sight to behold. If you compare it
with the regular issue shown together with
the error, you will see that the black text
identifying the store location is missing,
also the value “10” in the blue dots at left
and right.
Thus, as you can plainly see, errors can
pop up anytime. My advice – keep looking. There is always the chance of a great
new discovery. X
These two Canadian dollars constitute rarity
as a pair, especially because the cut portion of
the second dollar is usually lost before it gets
out into the public domain. This first image
shows the large fold tucked into the perimeter
of the normal note.
Note of the Month
Neil Shafer
This one peso error Specimen note from the Dominican Republic has some features I
am unable to explain. As you can see, there are two left hand signatures and two orange
seals at right, but only a single signature at right. I have not been able to find anyone who
can offer a logical explanation for these anomalies. Wouldn’t the signatures both printed
at the same time, perhaps with the seal as well? If that were the case, then how could
there be just a single signature at right? The back is printed normally. This piece is from
a fairly early issue for this series. One would think that such special notes would have
merited some extra scrutiny to make sure they were as near perfection as possible. Yet
here we have this very strange occurrence on a Specimen. If anyone can shed some light
on circumstances that could have caused this result, I am sure that our readers and I
would be most grateful.

This second Canadian image consists of
the note unfolded, showing the large extra
piece attached plus the portion cut away
from the fold.

Swedish plate money finally goes in 1776
By Kerry Rodgers
Editor’s note: Part I of this two-part
plate money feature was in the July 28
issue of Numismatic News Express.
To all intents and purposes, from 1624
to 1776 Sweden-Finland operated six different currencies: three based on silver
[daler/riksdaler, mark/carolin, öre], two
based on copper [plates, minors], and
gold [ducat]. From time to time either
copper or silver got the official nod as
the principal currency base. It depended
on market values.
Apart from the differences in fineness
between the silver currencies, variations
existed between the copper minors and
copper plates. The 1660 devaluation of
the öre had introduced small differences
but these became significant after 1719.
Before 1719 both copper minors and
copper plates were considered to contain
their intrinsic metal value. After 1719 this
was true only for copper plates.
Significantly, Gresham’s law seldom
kicked in or, at least, to any great extent.
Good money drives out bad only where
there is a fixed exchange rate between
good and bad, be that a legally defined
rate or simply that of the marketplace.
Thus the greenback circulated happily
alongside the gold dollar in the USA in
the 1860s when neither was exchangeable
with the other, but the gold could be sold
for a premium in paper. Any premium on
good money causes it to stay in circulation.
For example, in the early 1650s, the
Amsterdam copper price fix was very
low but the value of copper plate coins in
riksdaler did not fall. Hence copper plates
were worth more as money than as copper
for export.
In contrast, during the 18th century
there was a negative premium on copper plates because of their high costs of
transportation. The plates were effectively
undervalued against the price of raw
copper with the higher denominated copper plates exported en masse and hence
disappearing from circulation; one reason
they frequently turn up in 18th century
shipwrecks.
In 1654 Queen Christina converted to
Catholicism and abdicated. Her extravaPlate/Page 40

gant lifestyle plus the Thirty Years’ War
of 1618-1648 left her country with vast
debts. The situation was not improved
when her successor and cousin, Charles
X, promptly declared war on Poland and
Denmark. These lasting conflicts posed a
serious threat to the economy. One solution was found in depreciating the copper plates. This was achieved simply by
increasing the Mint’s premium [seigniorage] to 14 percent. One immediate consequence was an increase in the exchange
rate with the ever-constant riksdaler.
And then, along came bank notes.
Doing it with paper
Stockholms Banco was formed in
1657. Its director, Johan Palmstruch, had
once been arrested for insolvency, a matter he vigorously denied. Large amounts
of copper plates, minted under the original lower premium regime, ended up
deposited at Johan’s Banco. In 1661-1664
the bank decided to clip these older plates
so that they now contained the same copper equivalent as the newly minted higher premium plates. In effect the Banco
reaped the increased seigniorage resulting
from the mint’s debasement. The profits
were enormous with half going to the
Crown.
Also in 1661 Stockholms Banco
began issuing paper money, backed by
the deposited copper plates, in the form of
kreditivsedlar [credit notes]. One reason
was to resolve the ongoing money shortage resulting from the increase in mint
premium on plates.
These notes were not the first
European paper money, but kreditivsedlar
are the direct ancestors of modern bank
notes: they were on printed paper forms,
in round denominations, and they did
not specify a depositor, a deposit, nor
any interest. The notes were payable to
bearer with possession of any note sufficient to constitute a claim on the bank.
Importantly, the notes were issued by an
institution that operated as a central bank.
Much of the copper plate money in
the bank’s vaults had been deposited by
customers in exchange for convenient but
interest-free cashier notes and promissory
notes issued by the Exchange Department.
The kreditivsedlar were issued to bank
customers who arrived at the bank wanting their old low premium plates back following Charles X’s devaluation. A Royal
Decree allowed the bank to issue notes in

lieu of the copper although only to persons with cash deposits in the bank.
The new-fangled notes proved popular
with the public. They were far more convenient than metal coins and, particularly,
the heavy copper plates. To help their
acceptance a small premium applied to
the notes relative to metal coins.
At no time did the notes issued
account for more than 10-20 percent of
the total money supply and Palmstruch
insisted the total of issued notes never
exceeded 2.7 million daler kopparmynt.
Nonetheless this amount was excessive.
Importantly the rate at which the notes
circulated was much greater than that of
copper plates, causing speed wobbles in
the money market and a dip in the notes’
value. The discounted value was never
greater than 8-10 percent, but when the
bank insisted on exchanging notes at
par there was a run on the bank by note
holders.
From 1664 through 1666 the notes
became inconvertible and the Swedish
Riksdag [Parliament] decided to withdraw
them. This was done to their full value.
Stockholms Banco was taken over by the
Crown and reconstituted as the Riksbank
in 1668, the first central bank in history.
For the rest of the 17th century no further
bank notes were issued.
Palmstruch was charged with irresponsible account-keeping and with not having sufficient cash to redeem the issued
notes. He was found guilty in 1668 and
sentenced to loss of title, loss of banking
privilege, and eternal exile or death. The
government reprieved his death penalty
and tossed him in the slammer instead. He
died three years later at age 60.
Silver swings, copper roundabouts
From 1664 to 1674 silver was the principal official currency, although a dual
copper-silver standard persisted. Then,
from 1674-1681, it was the turn of copper
plates to become the official currency unit
although, again, the dual-currency standard was maintained with a premium prevailing on both carolins and öre courant.
In 1681 silver was again made top
dog and would maintain its dominance
until 1709. Copper plates now became
undervalued in terms of their exchange
rates against both silver and the market
fix of raw copper. Consequently copper
plates were exported and vanished from
circulation.
Throughout these currency swings and
roundabouts the exchange rate of the
silver riksdaler remained quite stable at
around 25 marks kopparmynt. Most riksdalers in circulation in the late 17th and
early 18th centuries had been minted
during the reign of Queen Christina. The
Riksbank’s holdings of riksdaler specie
stood at 134,000 in 1696 but dropped to
just a few thousand by the late 1710s.
From 1709 to 1766 copper again officially ruled the roost in Sweden with copper plates minted in 1710 on such a large
scale as to have profound effects throughout the entire Swedish monetary system.
One result was to stimulate the rise of fiat
money in the same way the introduction
of copper plates in the 1640s and 1650s
spawned the bank note issue of the 1660s.
When the copper price increased in
the early 1710s copper plates were again
exported in bulk and a ban on their
export was put in place in 1713-1714.
Finally, on May 17, 1715, all copper plates
were revalued by 50 percent and stamped
accordingly. This made them more valuable as coin than as metal.
“Off with his head!”
The Great Nordic War ended in 17161719. Before war’s end the monetary
system was going from bad to worse aided
and abetted by the introduction of emergency token coins: nödmynt.
Every token was meant to represent
a given value of copper coin having a
weight of 756 g but their copper contents
were just 0.5-1 percent of their face values. Their introduction led to a new round
of inflation with copper plates commanding a significant premium over tokens.
This rose as high as 67 percent in 1719.
To add to the confusion myntsedlar [coin
notes or chits] were also circulated. These
fell in value even more sharply than the
tokens and caused widespread destitution
among those at the bottom of the social
order.
The tokens had been the brainchild
of Georg Heinrich von Görtz, Baron of
Schlitz. He was not a Swede but had
ingratiated himself with Charles XII and
become his Chief Minister. His token issue
was comparatively modest but Charles
seized upon the coins as a godsend and
struck them in quantities too vast for the
Riksbank to cope. When they were first
issued the government had guaranteed
their value and their redemption after the
war. When Charles was killed in 1718 the
government did redeem them but at only
50 percent of their face value. The country
was enraged.
The anger grew when a rumor swept
Sweden that the daler copper plates issued
by the Riksbank during the war were also
inferior and would be unacceptable to
pay taxes. The nation turned its fury upon
Görtz. He was hauled before a special
commission, tried without benefit of legal
assistance or the use of writing materials, condemned to death, and promptly
beheaded.
Riksdaler rules, OK?
For many years major powers behind
the Swedish Crown had been at work to
bring about major long-term changes in
the country’s money system. The Crown
itself had a vested interest in finding a
more convenient currency than copper
plates and in 1701 the Riksbank had
begun issuing transportsedlar [transfer
notes] in lieu of plates.
The name implied that when the notes
were involved in a transaction they must
be physically transported upon being
assigned from an old owner to a new.
This method was time-consuming and
people, many of whom were illiterate,
were reluctant to attach their names to any
monetary instrument, particularly given
the country’s ongoing monetary confusion. Although the market value of these
notes was directly related to the market
value of copper plates, the exchange rate
of the riksdaler was now linked to the
mark kopparmynt.
Nonetheless the notes proved popular as the public found ways around
the regulations. In 1726 the Riksbank
agreed to accept them in payment of taxes.
Gradually the amount of paper money
increased to become the main component of circulating currency in SwedenFinland. In 1722 the amount totaled
12,219 daler silvermynt, but by 1730 they
were worth one million daler silvermynt,
and in 1740 5.3 million daler silvermynt
or about 5-6 percent of GDP.
The ongoing major swings in parity
between copper and silver and between
copper and notes delayed all attempts
for a comprehensive revision and simplification of the monetary system. It was
not until 1776 that Sweden’s government
managed to grasp the nettle and initiate
long overdue reforms.
A mono-metallic silver specie standard
was re-established with the riksdaler made
the sole unit of account – apart from the
gold ducat. The stability of the riksdaler
had long made it the preferred medium
of exchange with large numbers minted
from 1766 to 1776. The old medieval
division into marks, öre and penningar
was abolished and one riksdaler divided
into 48 skillings, and one skilling into 12
runstycken.
With the elimination of the dual copper-silver standard, the associated multifaceted accounting of kopparmynt, silvermynt, öre courant and carolins was
also swept away. All existing copper coins
were halved in value and copper plates
treated purely as commodities. After 130
years the plåtmynt were no more.

No half dollars or golden dollars were
produced at either minting facility during the month and almost no Presidential
dollars were coined save for 290,000 at
Denver.
During most months, coin production
at Denver and Philadelphia are fairly
evenly divided, with the edge going to
Denver during the course of the year.
For the first half of the year, cent
output has reached nearly 5 billion pieces.
Quarters and dimes are nearly neck
and neck with totals at just over 1.6 billion apiece.
Nickel production stands at over 800
million coins.
The small numbers of half dollars,
golden dollars and Presidential dollars
produced go into the rolls and bags sold
to collectors.
At the present rate of output, annual
production will reach 18 billion pieces for
the calendar year.
The Mint is adding third shifts to both
Denver and Philadelphia to meet the
country’s growing demand for coinage.

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.

Holabird/from Page 1
Only one of the 58 notes has been
graded by a third-party grading firm.
Halabird said they came from an old
Nevada collection.
In small notes the auction also includes
one $10 note and two $20 notes from the
McGill bank, all Type 1 with low serial
numbers.
There is a large-size $10 First National
Bank of Winnemucca note Holabird
described as a gem. There are also two
large $50 notes. For small notes, there are
two $5, two $10 and a $20, all Type 1.
The bank had $9,855 outstanding in notes
when it closed in 1935.
The First National Bank of
Winnemucca was reportedly robbed by
Butch Cassidy but that was never proven,
Holabird said.
For the First National Bank of Ely
there is one $5 in a large note, two $10s
and one $20. Holabird said the $10 notes
have different signatories. Ely and neighboring McGill were one of America’s largest copper mining camps that produced
about $400 million in metals before World
War II.
For small notes, there is one $5 and
two $20s, all Type 1, from the First
National Bank of Ely. For the Ely National
Bank, there are two $20s, both Type 1, and
two $10 notes, a Type 1 and Type 2. First
National Bank of Ely had $49,000 out-

Harpers Ferry National Historical
Park in West Virginia will be honored by
the third quarter in the 2016 sequence.
It shows the building in which John
Brown made his last stand in his 1859
standing in notes in 1935 and Ely National
Bank had $43,050 outstanding.
In large-size notes for the Reno
Farmers and Merchants Bank, there is
a $10 and a $20. For the Reno National
Bank there are three $50 and a $100, some
signed by Nevada mining financier and
historical figure George Wingfield.
In small-size notes, there is a First
National Bank of Reno $10 Type 2
note, PCGS-64, Holabird said. For Reno
National Bank, there are four $50 notes,
including low serial numbers, and a type
1 $100 with serial number 6, probably
owned by one of the bank’s original officers.
In the last of the large notes, there are
three $10 First National Bank of Elko
notes, all with different signatures, and
two $20s, also with different signatures.
In small-size notes, there are $5 and $10
notes, and Elko had $2,180 out in small
notes and $6,262 in large size when it
closed in 1932.
In small-size notes, for the Farmers
and Merchants National Bank of Eureka,
there are two $10 notes, one Type 1 and
one Type 2, and three $20s, all Type 1,
all with low serial numbers. Eureka was a
silver mining camp, producing about $65
million before World War II.
For Lovelock there are two $10s, one
Type 1 and one Type 2, and a Type 1 $20.
Lovelock was the commercial center for
mines in the mountains north of town that
included Seven Troughs and Mazuma.
For the First National Bank of Tonopah,
there is one $10 and one $20, both Type 1.
Tonopah was another major Nevada mining camp with about $150 million in gold
and silver production before World War II.
Peter Huntoon, who has written about
currency for more than four decades and
was one of the authors of the 1973 book
“The National Bank Note Issues of 19291935,” said Nevada National Bank Notes
are rare because there were relatively few
banks and most of those banks were small.
Nevada had only 16 issuing banks, for
instance, while California had 509.
“That’s one of the scarcest states in
the country,” Huntoon said. “Alaska is the
only state smaller with three.”
The low estimate for the sale is $1 million to $2 million, Holabird said. Other
items being auctioned include:
• One of the best collections ever
assembled of western Mechanics Fair and
Agricultural medals.
• About 100 California fractional gold
pieces.
• Large selection of facsimile currency
and advertising notes.
• A major selection of Montana tokens
from the Bob Svoboda collection that
Holabird Americana is selling over a year.
• More than 100 other numismatic collectibles.
