Mercanti signs new NGC slab labels
John M. Mercanti, the 12th chief
engraver of the U.S. Mint, has agreed to
individually hand sign certification labels
exclusively for Numismatic Guaranty
Corporation, the firm has announced.
NGC said Mercanti is the most famous
U.S. coin engraver of the modern era, best
known as the designer of the reverse of
the extremely popular silver American
Eagle coin.
“From 1974 until his retirement in
2010 he designed well over 100 coins and
medals – more than any other employee
in the history of the U.S. Mint,” NGC said
Mercanti designed the iconic Statue of
Liberty obverse of the platinum American
Eagle which has been used for all four
denominations since the program’s inception in 1997.
“I am honored to be associated with
NGC, the hobby’s premier third-party
coin grading company,” said Mercanti.
“I am very excited and look forward to
working with them on a variety of future
programs.”
His labels will be available in January.
Mint raises prices of clad half
Prices for some of 2016’s commemorative coins have been set by the U.S, Mint.
Fans of clad commemorative half dollars will see price rises of almost 40 percent for regular prices, but if they order in
the introductory time window, the increase
will be less than half that.
Half dollar coins will go on sale in
March as part of the program for the 100th
anniversary of the National Park Service.
At introduction, the proof will be

Zimbabwe makes yuan legal tender
By Patrick A. Heller
Early last week, Zimbabwe government officials announced an agreement
with the Chinese government for that
African nation to designate the Chinese
yuan as its official currency. This development has been almost totally ignored by
U.S. media, but has received wide coverage in the rest of the world.
In return for the forgiveness of $40
million of non-interest bearing debt owed
by the Zimbabwe government to China’s
government, the yuan will be designated
as Zimbabwe’s legal tender.
Western officials are trying to downplay the long-term impact of this change
but emphasizing the practical difficulties
of introducing the yuan into circulation in
Zimbabwe.
After suffering hyperinflation, culminating in the issue of $100 trillion notes,
Zimbabwe’s prior currency failed in
January 2009. For five years there was no
official legal tender in the nation. Foreign
currencies, especially U.S. dollars, euros
and South Africa rand filled the void
for circulating money. Until now, little
Chinese yuan have been in circulation.
Zimbabwe has tried to reintroduce
its own currency, promising to redeem
former outstanding currency at the rate of
35 quadrillion (35,000,000,000,000,000)
Zimbabwean dollars for U.S. $1
Unfortunately, that government’s finances
are so weak that no one wanted the new
monetary issue.
What that means is that the transition
to having the yuan circulate as everyday
currency in Zimbabwe is going to take
a while. However, I expect the change to
occur sooner than Western analysts and
government officials want the public to
believe.
China already has its own military
installation in Zimbabwe. It has pro-
Zimbabwe could effectlvely become a Chinese colony.
vided significant armaments, including
jets and tanks, to that country’s military
forces. It is not out of the question that
Zimbabwe could effectively become a
Chinese colony.
Such a move would make a lot of
sense for the Chinese government. China
is trying to expand the use of its currency
worldwide as an expression of growing economic clout. Having the yuan
officially designated as legal tender in
other nations, even if it is not yet used by
residents in everyday commerce, adds to
China’s aspirations for the yuan to grow
as a world reserve currency.
At the same time that China is expanding its global economic influence, it is
also reducing the international usage and
influence of the U.S. dollar. To the extent
that foreigners become more aggressive at
sending U.S. currency and Treasury debt
back to Washington, the U.S. government
will be forced to deliver goods and services, American real estate, or ownership
in American companies in return. Such
moves would immediately increase the
U.S. government’s budget deficits, further
harming the U.S. economy.
With so much to gain beyond the mere
symbolism of having the yuan declared
as legal tender in an economically minor
African nation, I would not be surprised
to see the Chinese government expand
what I will call the “yuan sphere.”
Prime targets would be financially
troubled nations. In Latin America, is
there a possibility that Venezuela, Ecuador
or Nicaragua (where a Chinese billionaire
has formed the consortium to construct a
new canal to displace the Panama Canal)
could be enticed to join the yuan sphere?
There are several other African gov-
ernments that might welcome the financial relief in return for adopting the yuan
as legal tender in their nations. There are
also potential targets in the Far East, with
Myanmar/Burma coming to mind.
Russia announced Nov. 27 that it would
displace some of the other currencies in
its central bank reserves (where U.S. dollars and euros now make up the bulk of
total reserves) with Chinese yuan. Three
days later, the International Monetary
Fund Executive Committee voted to add
the yuan to its basket of reserve currencies in its Special Drawing Rights as of
September 2016.
Now with Zimbabwe adopting the
yuan as legal tender, the Chinese government is hammering the U.S. dollar from
multiple directions. That is not good news
for people who keep their wealth denominated in U.S. paper assets such as stocks,
bonds and currency.

If not convenience, how about fear?
The letters pages of Numismatic News
have had a number of submissions regarding the pros and cons of a cashless society.
Online websites have articles sounding
the alarm against a forced societal shift to
the cashless economy.
It seems that the best way to guarantee
that something is read these days is to insist
that readers are about to be forced to do
something that they don’t want to do.
Not using cash is just one of many possibilities, but because it is a numismaticrelated topic, it has caught my attention.
I have to observe that a country that cannot abolish the cent for fear of the public’s
wrath is not likely to make an attempt to
abolish all denominations of cash from the
cent to the $100 bill.
However, it is possible that American
society might decide voluntarily to go cashless. Why would they choose to do so?
There is convenience. Using credit or
debit cards are just so darned easy. If you
have ever worried about dropping your
change at a drive-through window after
Class of
’63
David C. Harper
ordering a milkshake, you can understand
why credit cards are so appealing even in
small amounts.
I live in a small town. I pass through its
center every business day. I can get cash at
the bank without a hassle. But many people
cannot get cash without a big hassle or a
service charge, so they will use cards.
Aggregating all personal transactions
on a credit card can generate a lot of airline
miles as a colleague here has pointed out
to me.
And why go to a bank or an ATM at all
when you have a debit card? Standing in
line at my mother’s grocery store I noticed
that every customer was asked how much
cash they wanted when they presented their
cards. My mother is the odd one in that she
still pays with cash.
We can beat the convenience argument
to death. What about fear? What if the cashless economy arrives due to fear?
In this case I am not referring to some
government takeover. I am referring to a
progressive abdication of responsibility by
both government and individuals.
We know the government has been less
than zealous in trying to suppress Chinese
made counterfeit coins. What if this attitude
spreads to counterfeit paper money?
Already I see clerks that are using
iodine pens on $20 bills and I ask myself
why. One reason is if they have spent their
lives with credit and debit cards, they simply are not familiar with what a genuine
$20 looks like.
If clerks are ignorant of $20s, what
about other denominations? We might
reach the point where the level of fear generated by the prospect of a cash payment
not being genuine that refusing to accept
cash becomes self-defense.
That is sad, but it would be voluntary.
No government coercion would be needed.

Time to hone your skills?
Do you trust OPEC, the world oil
cartel led by Saudi Arabia?
Yes, that does seem like a loaded
question.
What does it have to do with numismatics, anyway?
The OPEC World Oil Outlook is
making financial headlines this morning
with a forecast that oil will not return to
$95 a barrel until the year 2040, 25 years
from now.
Considering the fact that the record
runs for gold and silver prices to peaks in
1980 and then again in 2011 were accompanied by huge run-ups in the price of oil,
there might be a connection.
In 2011, when silver was trading at its
$48 peak price and then gold at its $1,900
peak price, oil was fluctuating between
$110 a barrel and $120.
Just a year and a half ago it was $105.
e-letters
Oil this morning is just under $37 a
barrel and it was recently trading between
$34 and $35.
So I repeat my question: Do you trust
OPEC?
If you do, and its oil price forecast
is to be taken seriously, then it might be
wise to prepare for a long slog of gold
and silver trading for prices well below
the recent peaks.
This long slog could last decades if it
parallels the price of oil.
Was it just a coincidence that gold and
silver perked up in the last half of 2001
when oil began its long ascent from $23 to
its record of about $150 a barrel?
If we can set aside dreams of great
wealth from bullion, gold and silver trading at more affordable prices is a good
thing for coin collecting.
Collectors can once again evaluate antic-
ipated purchases based on the time-honored
criteria of mintage numbers and grades.
This is a much better numismatic environment than one where it just seems to
be climb aboard the bullion gravy train.
Numismatic knowledge will once
again be seen to be worth having instead
of being pushed into the background by
sensational bullion-related headlines.
Numismatic knowledge will be honored. And no small thing, it will be
rewarded in the marketplace.
Since most collectors focus nowadays
on series of coins that are made of silver
or gold, an environment where the focus
can be on their skills is a happy prospect.
Collectors of copper and nickel coins
will no longer be the only ones to experience this.
And if you don’t trust OPEC? Well,
then, never mind.
from the Dec. 25 Numismatic News E-Newsletter
Here are some answers sent from our e-newsletter readers to Editor Dave Harper. Read more responses at www.numismaticnews.com.
Should the U.S. increase Secret Service funding to fight counterfeiting?
Well, I would hope something will be
done. Maybe put minimal sanctions on
countries who continue to sell counterfeit
items, so that maybe that country would
police its own. Online folks need to jump
in and not allow a seller to continue to sell
those items, more sanctions, etc.
My dad doesn’t buy from areas in
Europe anymore as a result of getting a
counterfeit piece, or pieces. There might
be honest sellers in those countries, but
he passes as to prevent the possibility of
getting another bogus coin.
Eric Nutting Twin Falls, Idaho
The U.S. government seems to be in
the business of enforcing whatever laws
they want. Illegal Immigration is costing
the U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars, but
those laws are not being enforced. Even
12
though the import of counterfeit coins
directly affects commerce in the coin
collecting and investing markets, but the
political clout needed to make them take
action is not enough. I don’t think the
government will enforce those laws either.
In the history of mankind, no government, that has been unable to enforce its
own laws, has survived. Hope we are not
going down that road.
Bruce Klosowsky South St. Paul, Minn.
No! The federal government is too big
now, and growing even bigger. Cut government, don’t grow it.
Alan Anderson Tucson Ariz.
The Secret Service is currently suffering a moral and performance crisis.
They keep getting it wrong. If they are
not partying with prostitutes in South
America, they are screwing up domestically, i.e., dirty emails. So, outsource.
Pay for performance.
Create a crime czar outside of civil
service constraints and regs; endow the
new agency with governmental powers;
sunset the agency in five years unless
approved by a nongovernment board; and
set them loose on the bad guys with concise goals and objectives. I suggest a past
U.S. Marine Corps general or commandant as officer in charge.
Semper Fi.
Jack Connelly Address withheld
It would be nice, but at this time the
money is needed elsewhere

The 2015 March of Dimes and the U.S.
Marshals Service commemorative coins
ended sales Dec. 30. Sets for both options
were quick sellouts earlier in 2015.
Lastly, the Mint halted orders for 2014
proof coin sets and the 2014 uncirculated
mint set on Dec. 31. The only exception
is the 2014 silver 14-coin proof set, which
managed to sell out by Dec. 20.

were in the collector’s shoes, I would start
thinking about adding to my silver coins.
Unfortunately, people wait too long to buy
and get irritated when they have to pay more
for the coins.”
Julian Jarvis, a wholesale dealer and owner
of Julian Jarvis Rare Coins, Greencastle, Ind.,
said few buyers are heeding advice to take
advantage of low metals prices.
“It hasn’t been a good year for people
selling gold and silver, but buyers have been
purchasing plenty at lower prices,” he said. “I
sold a fair amount of gold but not as much as I
would have liked to sell with these prices.
“For me, it isn’t what it used to be. Some
of the smaller dealers in the area have dried
up. It used to be that you’d see plenty of stores
with ‘we buy gold’ and ‘we buy silver’ signs,
but not anymore.”
Another factor in 2015’s coin market is
the expanding role of the Internet in the trade,
he said.
“It seems to me a lot of people are buying more and more on the Internet,” he said.
“Every week, I have one to two new customers
contact me because they found my website on
the Internet.”
Julian Leidman, owner of Bonanza Coins,
said he’s listing more coins for sale online.
Fuljenz/from Page 1
from 2015’s impressive levels,” Fuljenz said.
Fuljenz emphasizes the long-term strength
of gold, noting that at the end of 2015, gold
was about 270 percent higher than it was in
the year 2000 while the Dow Jones average
was only about 50 percent higher. Compared
to 2005, gold was about 140 percent higher
and the Dow average was up by about 75
percent.
In his latest weekly Metals Market Report,
he makes what he calls seven “Fearless
Forecast” predictions.
• New gold supplies will likely decline
from 2015 to 2016. This past year was likely
the “peak year” of global mining production.
Lower supplies and/or rising demand will lead
to higher prices in 2016.
• The tensions in the Middle East, particularly in Syria and Iraq (versus ISIS) will
escalate. This will push gold prices higher in
spurts at first, and then more consistently as
seemingly isolated terrorist acts take place
around the world.

“I’m buying all the time, but the coin
business is different than it used to be,” he
said. “It’s become a case where an old dog
has to learn new tricks. You have to adapt to
the market.”
Top sellers in 2015 include the Morgan
dollar, he said.
“I have to say Morgan dollars remain popular,” he said. “I also sold some bullion, which I
don’t normally do.”
Rare and exotic coins appearing in highprofile auctions also did well in 2015, he said.
“Some auctions have done well with exotic, rare material like the Pogue sale,” Leidman
said. “Less than exotic items have been quiet.”
Jarvis said his top seller for 2015 was silver
bullion
“Most of my business has been in silver
and gold,” he said. “Silver Eagles and silver
Maple Leafs were the biggest sellers.
“Up until the middle of the year, I sold a lot
of 90 percent silver U.S. coins. Starting about
July or August, the premiums got so high, I
started showing buyers how much more they
were paying for 90 percent coins versus .999
fine silver bullion. They were more interested
in .999 fine silver after that.”
Crane said L&C Coins had both strong
sellers in classic and modern coinage.
“The type coins seem to do well, such
as Bust or Seated Liberty coinage,” he said.
• Physical demand for gold will rise from
2015’s record levels, pushing gold higher. The
United States Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint
and other global suppliers of gold bullion and
gold coins will once again run short from time
to time, rationing coins to dealers or delaying
delivery, perhaps pushing premiums up.
• The dollar will peak by mid-2016 and
then decline toward the end of the year, in
terms of other major currencies , such as
the euro, the British pound and the Japanese
yen, pushing gold up in terms of the dollar.
The Fed will likely not raise rates more than
once in 2016, due to the deteriorating U.S.
economy and the threat of deflation.
• Rare coins will likely outpace gold bullion in 2016.
• Politics will disrupt markets, leading to a
strong year for gold and rare coins, and a drop
in the Dow Jones average.
• Wall Street will turn favorable towards
gold.

Report is available free online at www.

“When you have a coin with an attractive look
and no dark toning, they will sell quickly.
“I think the coins that may not be considered key but are difficult to find are doing just
fine. What’s difficult is selling common coins
that everyone has.”
For modern coins, new releases like Coin
and Chronicles sets and the platinum Eagle
brought in profits, he said.
“The 2015 platinum Eagle has done really
well,” he said. “The 2015 platinum Eagle coin
is the most popular release in the series.
“They sold out in six minutes and the
market has been hot. With a low mintage too,
it’s in demand.”
However, an influx of new U.S. Mint
releases in 2015 also drew money out of the
coin market, he said.
“A big factor in the year’s market was
the Mint and its marketing,” he said. “With
each release they come out with, that’s more
money they pull out of the coin market. When
they release a 4,000 mintage platinum coin at
$1,250 each, that’s a large amount going to one
coin release.”
Perhaps the U.S. Mint’s 2016 Centennial
gold coin releases honoring the Mercury dime,
Standing Liberty quarter and Walking Liberty
half dollar can provide the perfect blend of
classic and modern coinage that will help
spark buyer enthusiasm in 2016.

E-mail inquiries only. Do not send letters in the mail. Send to Giedroyc@Bright.net. Because of space limitations, we are unable to publish all questions.
Bullion fineness can vary by a little
■ Is there a legal definition of the
fineness of bullion?
While not strictly a matter of law, the
general world standard is .995 fine to
be classed as bullion, but this does not
directly apply to coins. Most bullion coins
sold today are .995 or higher fineness.
In the past decade or two much has
been made of .999 fine versus .9999 fine
bullion coins, and now the purest are up
to .99999 fine, a difference too small
to recognize without some expensive
and sophisticated equipment. The term
“bullion coin” as currently used means
a coin struck for the express purpose of
conveying to the buyer a known quantity
of the precious metal in a known fineness.
This is usually expressed in troy ounces,
or its fractions. However, older coins
(Austrian and Mexican restrikes, etc.) are
bullion coins, but their weights are not in
even troy amounts.
■ I have a coin that has a large X across
it. Is this from a canceled die?
This is an assumption that a lot of
collectors make. From your description,
you have a coin that has been altered by
cutting the lines in the coin metal directly.
Especially on a worn coin, the metal
gouged out will usually be flattened down
somewhat, so that it covers the cuts, giving
it the appearance of having been struck with
a canceled die. However, if you examine the
coin closely with a magnifier, you will be
able to find places where the original cut
may still show. Coin dies are very rarely
canceled in this fashion and when a die is
canceled, it is with a deep groove which will
leave a very high solid ridge across the face
of the piece, not a low, rounded ridge as in
the case of an altered coin.
■ I have a thin coin that is smaller than
normal. The diameter is less and the design
seems to be reduced to match.
Smaller and thinner usually means the
coin has been reduced with acid. There are
hundreds of cents of all dates around that
have been altered with acid, but these pieces
usually are thinner than a normal cent and
have a generally fuzzy surface appearance.
The key point in identification is that the
design is essentially complete even on a
paper thin coin. This would not happen with
a genuine thin-planchet strike, which would
20
show missing or weak detail because of a
lack of metal to fill the dies.
exactly match the quoted prices, as they are
intended merely as a guide to values.
■ What causes the difference in color in
gold coins and gold jewelry?
A fairly regular question, with the answer
based on the metal the gold is alloyed with.
Pure gold is yellow, but you rarely will find
pure gold coins or jewelry, as some other
metal has to be added to it to make it hard
enough to resist wear and damage.
Copper makes it red, silver or platinum
makes it white, iron makes it green and
bismuth will make it black. Green gold is
defined as an alloy of 75 percent gold and
25 percent silver, but other ratios will also
appear green, or greenish.
■ I have a art bar that has the wrong
date on it. Is this a rarity?
Depends on whether the manufacturer
corrected it or not. The bar boom in the
1970s saw thousands of silver bar designs
and an unusually large number turned out
to be errors with the wrong number of
wheels on the locomotive, wrong dates
or other mistakes, some of which seemed
to occur more to promote sales than from
other causes. The principal problem was
the total lack of official control over
mintages, announced mintage figures and
other factors affecting value.
■ Silver solder I know, but is there a
gold solder?
There is, and the formula is 12 parts
gold, two of silver and two of copper.
■ I have a 10-ounce silver bar that was
issued by the U.S. Assay Office in 1981. Do
you have any idea what it is worth?
First of all, the bar you have was not
an issue of the U.S. Assay Office. The
legend on the bar says, “Minted From U.S.
Strategic Stockpile Silver, Formerly Stored
at the U.S. Assay Office San Francisco.”
The minting was done after the silver was
sold by the government to a private firm.
These bars were struck by the Continental
Coin Corp. in one-ounce rounds and bars
and 5- and 10-ounce bars. The Indexed
Guide Book of Silver Art Bars lists two
varieties for the one-ounce bars, with both
being fairly common.
■ I’m confused by a reference to
“electrum” in an article about ancient
Greece, which did not seem to refer to the
silver-gold alloy.
You need to read any reference to the
term “electrum” carefully, as there were two
specific meanings. Electrum (metal) was an
alloy of three parts gold to one part silver,
using the symbol EL. It also was the name
for amber, which was highly prized both
then and now.
■ Is there such a thing as “base bullion”
alloy?
Sounds like a misapplication of two
differing terms, but there actually is a mixture
of metals called base bullion. It is an alloy of
lead and silver, which may or may not contain
gold. The alloy is such that the silver or gold
can be recovered from the mixture.
■ I don’t believe your price charts (or
any other for that matter) are accurate, as
I’ve never seen a dealer ad with prices that
match the figures. What do you say to that?
Price listings in any publication other
than a dealer sale catalog are not meant to be
fixed and this fact is usually clearly stated, if
not always understood. They are intended to
show an approximate value, based on what
the current market is doing, with changes
reflecting the frequency with which the
charts are published. Nobody is required to
■ Supposedly there are eight noble
metals, but my buddies are arguing about
some of the less well known. Could you
please list them?
Besides gold, platinum and silver, the
other five are members of the platinum
group: palladium, rhodium, ruthenium,
iridium and osmium. The noble metals are
another way of designating those metals
that are considered to be bullion. The noble
metals are contrasted with the base metals,
such as lead or zinc.
■ Since 1850 how much of the mined
gold was struck into coins?
Up to 1933 almost all of the gold
mined between 1850-1933 was minted
into coins, or about 900 million ounces.
Total world inventory is 4.0+ billion
ounces. See http://www.gold.org/reserveasset-management/statistics.

GOLD BULLION MARKET VALUES
Common sense when buying goes a long way
By Rich Giedroyc
Gold and oil rebounded about two
percent recently. Television experts were
interviewed about this “rally.” Gold bugs
were quick to declare the bottom had
been reached, leaving listeners with the
impression gold is about to skyrocket.
The following day these two commodities went back to where they had been.
Gold bugs are understandably anxious,
but jumping the gun can be dangerous. If
you are buying gold coins, ensure you are
getting a price that reflects any impact the
intrinsic value has on them.
Key U.S. Type Coins
The same goes for any coin you are
currently buying. Right now prices of
coins are favorable to the collector. There
are a number of traps to be avoided. I
recently had someone show me a modern
U.S. commemorative coin that is certified
in some very high Mint State grade by a
well-recognized third-party service. He
insisted the coin was a good buy because
only 35,000 of these coins reached this
grade. My question is where are the more
than 35,000 collectors who will want
these coins later? There are many good
buys out there right now, but don’t get
duped. Consider what you are buying. Is

Story of ‘Emden’ told by collectibles
By Kerry Rodgers
The story of the German World War I
raider ship SMS Emden is one that inspires
awe even a century after it occurred. It has
been told many times.
Thanks to a collection sold May 13, 2015,
by the London auction house of Dix Noonan
Webb, a new generation of collectors can
come to appreciate the ship’s exploits.
For both Germany and Australia the
Emden held considerable significance in
the first months of WWI. For Germans it
represented one of the few early war success
stories of the Kaiserliche Marine, Kaiser
Wilhelm II’s expensively built up navy. For
Australians, it was the very first victory of
their fledgling navy.
Both countries produced medals that
told parts of the Emden story. Given that
the 25 lots sold included those of both
German and Australian origin, together they
provided an excellent example of the use of
medallic art as a propaganda tool in WWI.
Background
SMS Emden was the second and
last Dresden class light cruiser built for
Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy).
She was launched in May 1908 and completed in July 1909. She displaced 4,268 tons
and came armed with ten 10.5 centimeter
(4.1 inch) guns and two torpedo tubes.
At the outbreak of WWI she was
part of Germany’s East Asiatic Squadron
based in Tsingtao, China. Her commander
was Captain Karl von Müller.
Following the assassination of Archduke
Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo June 28, 1914,
Müller put to sea. He assumed war was
inevitable and wanted to commerce raiding
immediately after a formal declaration was
made. One day after Germany declared
war on Russia, the Emden captured the
Russian steamer Ryazan. Müller sent the
Russian vessel back to Tsingtao where she
was converted into the auxiliary cruiser

give her the profile of a British vessel.
Learning a British armored cruiser lay
ahead on his intended route Müller sailed
up the coast of Sumatra and entered the
Bay of Bengal on Sept. 5. His arrival
would come as a total surprise to the
British who believed him to be still with
Spee’s squadron.
His first success was the capture of
a Greek collier carrying equipment for
the British. Müller took the ship into
his service and agreed to pay the crew.
Over ensuing weeks five more ships were
captured. Of these four were sunk and
the fifth used to carry the crews from the
other vessels.
When Müller learned from a Norwegian
merchantman that Allied warships were
operating in the area he upped-stakes and
headed to the eastern coast of India.
Shortly thereafter the crew of a released
Italian freighter told the British of their
encounter with Müller. This saw an immediate cessation of shipping in Bengal with
two British cruisers and one Japanese
detailed to search for Emden while two
30
Madras shelled
In late September Müller decided to
make a major propaganda statement and
demonstrate his freedom of movement.
He shelled Madras on the evening of
Sept. 22.
He left oil tanks on fire and others
damaged. The British promptly excluded
all shipping from the Bay of Bengal. As a
result Emden’s first month of raiding saw
exports from eastern India decrease by 61
percent.
The news of Emden’s successes and
their consequences struck a chord in the
German homeland. The ships and its crew
were acclaimed heroes. Among the many
accolades was a raft of medallic issues.
For his part, Müller now assumed he
had overstayed his welcome in Indian
waters. He headed for western Ceylon.
There he sank a pair of British merchantmen on Sept. 25 and subsequently captured a British collier packed with high
grade coal. He promptly put a prize crew
on board and used her to support subsequent operations.
After sinking two more British vessels
Müller coaled-up at the Maldives and then
headed to Diego Garcia for maintenance
and a little rest and relaxation. Here the
British garrison was blissfully unaware
that Germany and Britain were at war.
They welcomed the Emden warmly.
Two days later the ship was back to
sea. By Oct. 20 she had captured six more
vessels. Müller ordered four sunk and
retained one for coaling. He sent the captured crews to a neutral port on the fifth.
Penang attacked
Müller proved elusive. He invariably turned up where least expected. On
Oct. 27 he launched a surprise attack on
Penang in British Malaya.
Emden approached the harbor entrance
at 0300 in the wee hours of the morning
with her dummy funnel rigged. The lookouts spotted the Russian cruiser Zhemchug
in port. Emden pulled alongside fired one
torpedo and then opened-fire with its
10.5 cm guns. A second torpedo caused
a major explosion and the Russian vessel sank at its moorings. The toll was 81
Russian sailors killed and 129 wounded.
As Müller was leaving he spotted a
British freighter loaded with ammunition.
He was preparing to capture this ship
when he noted he the approach of French
destroyer Mousquet quite unprepared for
attack. He quickly sent her to the bottom.
The Penang raid sent major shock
waves through the Allies. It led them
to delay sending large convoys from
Australia until suitable escorts were available. But the German home front could
not get enough of the gallant Emden and
her daring captain. The medallic tributes
of 1914 make this very clear.
Müller’s next move was to provide a
diversion for the 16 warships from five
Allied nations searching for him in the
northern Indian Ocean. He set sail for the
British coaling, wireless and transoceanic
cable station in the Cocos Islands.
The Emden arrived off Direction
Island in the Cocos early in the morning
of Nov. 9. A well-armed landing party of
53 was immediately sent ashore under
Kapitänleutnant Hellmuth von Mücke.
Their task was to destroy the wireless and
all installations concerned with the vital
intercontinental communications cable.
Battle royal
For Müller the Cocos was to prove
one bridge too far. The British had posted
lookouts who were wide awake. They
spotted the ship and its false funnel as it
closed. Before the vessel could jam signals the Cocos wireless operator had gotten away one message, “Unidentified ship
off entrance.” This did little to concern
Müller. Monitoring of the Allied search
vessels had told him they were at least 250
nautical miles distant.
Unfortunately for the Germans the
signal was picked up by a new arrival in
the area of which Müller was unaware,
the Australian light cruiser HMAS Sydney
providing an escort to a convoy of Anzac
troops on their way to Egypt. She was
just 52 nautical miles away and immediately steamed at top speed for the
Cocos. Although Emden did pick up wireless messages from Sydney Müller still
believed her to be much further north.
At 0900 hours Emden’s lookouts spotted a smoke cloud on the horizon. They
first assumed it was the Emden’s collier
but 30 minutes later knew it to be a major
warship approaching at high speed. Von
Mücke’s landing party was still ashore.
There was no time for their recovery.
Sydney closed to 9,500 yards and
turned to parallel the course of Emden.
The German cruiser opened fire first.
Müller’s hoped a rapid fire salvo might
overwhelm Sydney given that her armament of 152 mm (6 inch) guns packed a
far greater punch than those of Emden.
Emden/Page 32

Emden/from Page 31
Much to the surprise of the Australians
Emden scored direct hits at a far great
range than Sydney believed her capable.
However, the German was unable to inflict
a disabling punch before the Australian
cruiser replied with her powerful guns.
Just 16 shells hit the Sydney and of these
only five exploded.
Emden turned to get within torpedo
range but before this could be achieved
Sydney had her range and began inflicting
serious damage. One of Emden’s forward
guns was taken out along with her wireless compartment.
A second attempt to fire a torpedo saw
Emden take direct hits on her steering gear
and her guns’ range finders.
A third attempt, with Müller steering
using just with his propellers, saw Sydney
turn away and lob shells from a distance
exploding ammunition near Emden’s starboard No. 4 gun.
Beached
Müller did not give up until his superstructure was shredded along with the rear
two funnels and foremast. With Sydney
maneuvering to keep out of torpedo range
Müller decided to beach Emden on North
Keeling Island to save the lives of his
crew. He did so at 1115 hours.
Emden’s engines and boilers were flooded. Her breech blocks and torpedo aiming
gear were thrown overboard. All signal
books and secret papers were burned.
Sydney now diverted to capture the
Emden’s collier. Her crew scuttled her
as the Australian cruiser approached.
When Sydney returned to the wreck to
ask if Emden’s crew would surrender, the
Germans were unable to reply so Sydney
resumed shelling. White flags were then
raised and the Australians ceased fire.
The 16 hits the Emden scored on Sydney
killed three of her crew and wounded 13.
For her part, Sydney scored 100 hits with
Emden losing 133 out of a crew of 376.
The survivors, including Müller, was
taken captive the following day. The
wounded men were sent to Australia. The
uninjured were initially interned in Malta
and later in England. Among those taken
prisoner was Oberleutnant zur See Franz
Josef, second son of Prince Wilhelm of
Hohenzollern.
Mexican silver
A search of Emden by the Australians
turned up a prize cache of 6,429 silver
Mexican pesos. This was Müller’s contin32
sculptress Lotte Benter. Her portrait
shows him weary and careworn.
A month before the armistice in
October 1918 he was repatriated to
Germany. There he was awarded Pour le
Mérite (Blue Max) and received his long
overdue promotion to Kapitän zur See.
In early 1919 he retired from the Navy,
dying suddenly in 1923 probably a direct
result of his frequent malarial bouts.
A medal was done of von Müller in 1917 by
Danish sculptress Lotte Benter.
gency fund he had used to buy supplies,
pay for repairs or captured crew. Silver
Mexican pesos and 8 reales were commonly used in German’s Tsingtao colony
for trade with the Chinese. On board the
crew used brass and zinc canteen tokens.
When the silver pesos arrived in
Australia 1,000 were converted into unofficial medals by Sydney jeweler W. Kerr.
In 1918 these were presented to Sydney’s
Capt. John Glossop and to the officers and
men who served at the time of the ship’s
victory. Others went to staff on the Cocos
Islands, the Admiralty, the Australian
War Memorial and other museums. The
remainder were sold to the public to
defray costs. Of the unmounted coins
653 were distributed by the Department
of Navy and 343 sold to the public. The
remaining 4,433 were melted, the silver
sold and the money used by the RAN
Relief fund.
Emden’s short-lived three month raiding career had been most successful. It had
covered 30,000 nautical miles, destroyed
two Allied warships, and sank or captured 16 British ships and one Russian
merchantman for a total of 70,825 tons.
And she had put a major kink in the Allies
all-important Indian export trade. Her
activities have been described by historian
George Odgers as … “one of the most
daring careers of maritime destruction in
naval history.”
Almost more importantly her propaganda value on the German home front
had been incalculable. Medallic commemoratives continued to be produced
enshrining her memory.
Müller was not so fortunate. He suffered badly from malaria and was eventually sent to The Netherlands for treatment,
as part of a humanitarian exchange of
prisoners. This would see him immortalized in bronze by the talented Danish
Remarkable von Mücke
The beaching of Emden had been
observed by von Mücke’s team. He
promptly ordered the seizure of the semiderelict, 95 ton schooner, Ayesha. The
experienced German sailors quickly had
her seaworthy. After renaming her Emden
II they upped anchor and sailed for Padang
before Sydney returned from her fruitless
pursuit of the collier.
On arrival in Sumatra a German
freighter transported them to Yemen.
There they made their way up the Red
Sea, battling desert and armed Bedouins.
They were rescued by the Emir of Mecca.
They were treated well but Mücke
came to believe the Emir was holding them
as political bargaining chips. Under cover
of darkness the entire party decamped to
sail north in two dhows. At Al Wajh they
landed and marched to the German railhead of the Hejaz Railway. They arrived in
May 1916. All 49 survivors then boarded
a train to Constantinople.
They disembarked in good order with
Mücke at their head, bearing their battle
standard they had carried from Cocos.
Coming to a halt before German Admiral
Wilhelm Souchon, von Mücke lowered his
sword and reported, “[The landing party
of Emden: 5 officers, 7 petty officers and
30 men strong.]”
Von Mücke’s odyssey is one of the
longest wartime escapes ever undertaken:
over 6,800 miles by sea and land. All but
five of his party made it home.
Although Kaiser Wilhelm II had abdicated in 1918 as German Emperor and
King of Prussia, he had not relinquished his
role as Head of the Royal House. As such
he was still able to confer the Royal House
Order and on Jan. 26, 1920, each of the
surviving officers of Emden were awarded
a Princely Hohenzollern Honor Cross commensurate with their rank while 13 petty
officers and several ratings received the
Princely Hohenzollern Gold Honor Medal
with Swords and the Princely Hohenzollern
Silver Merit Medal with Swords, respectively. All awards were made retroactive to
May 19, 1918. X

Pottsville, Pa., a coal country gem
By Mark Hotz
On a nice sunny Saturday in October, I
felt liking taking a drive and set off north
on Interstate 83 out of Baltimore, headed
for Pennsylvania. The leaves were changing color, the sun was shining, and eventually I found myself approaching Pottsville,
Pa., a very old city with an interesting
history. So I decided to take a look.
Pottsville is the seat of Schuylkill
County in eastern Pennsylvania’s old coal
region, about 100 miles northwest of
Philadelphia. Although once much more
populous, today Pottsville is home to
around 15,000.
Pottsville’s anthracite coal history
began in 1790 when a coal seam was discovered by hunter Necho Allen. Legend
has it that Allen fell asleep at the base of
the Broad Mountain and woke to the sight
of a large fire; his campfire had ignited an
outcropping of coal.
By 1795, an anthracite-fired finery
forge was established on the Schuylkill
River. In 1806, John Potts purchased the
forge. By an act of assembly of the
Commonwealth approved March 1, 1811,
the county of Schuylkill was erected out of
portions of Berks and Northampton; this
placed the site of Pottsville in Schuylkill
County. The town was formally laid out in
1816 by a local surveyor, Henry Donnell.
Pottsville was incorporated as a borough
on Feb. 19, 1828.
In 1829, D.G. Yuengling & Son established what is now the oldest operated family beer brewery in the United
States. In 1851, Pottsville became the
county seat, the original county seat
being Orwigsburg. The Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Co., acquired
extensive coal lands and would become
one of the most notable of the coal companies operating in Pennsylvania until the
demise of the anthracite industry after
World War II.
Because of its location along the
Schuylkill River, Pottsville developed a
small textile industry. Out of this industry
grew the Phillips Van Heusen Co., which
was founded in 1881. Moses Phillips and
his wife Endel began sewing shirts by
hand and selling them from pushcarts to
the local coal miners.
Until the middle of the 20th century,
Pottsville was a popular destination for
34
many traveling acts and vaudeville performers. The 1929 film “Berth Marks”
stars the comedy legends Laurel and
Hardy as they attempt to reach Pottsville
by train for one of their booked performances. Pearl Bailey had once resided
in Pottsville during the early part of her
entertaining career. Soldiers in training at
nearby Fort Indiantown Gap were prohibited from visiting Pottsville during most
of World War II due to the large amounts
of illicit venues and activities present durHotz/Page 36
Here is a lovely and rare $50 Brown Back note issued by the Miners National Bank of Pottsville,

ing the time.
As a fairly large coal-producing city,
Pottsville eventually was home to no less
than four note-issuing national banks. The
Miners Bank of Pottsville, a long-established bank, joined the national currency
scheme at the end of 1864 and became
the Miners National Bank of Pottsville,
charter 649. It continues to operate today,
now in its 150th year. During the national
currency era, it had a total circulation of
over $9 million in a potpourri of notes
ranging from the Original Series to smallsize notes.
Notes from this bank are generally
amply available on the market, though
early series notes (First Charters and
Brown Backs) are in rather tight hands.
I have included a photo of the $50 Brown
Back note on this bank from my own collection.
In May 1865, Pottsville’s Government
Bank converted to national status and
became the Government National Bank
of Pottsville, charter 1152. This was an
unusual title for a national bank (now
known as a “forbidden title”) and was, to
my knowledge, the only such titled national bank in the nation. The bank operated
until 1897, when it voluntarily liquidated,
having issued just over $1 million in currency. Since just First Charter and Brown
Back notes were issued, they are hard to
find, and given the bank’s unique title, in
demand. I have included a photo of the $5
Brown Back in my own collection.
The next year, 1866, would see the
opening of Pottsville’s third national bank,
the Pennsylvania National Bank, charter 1663. This would become Pottsville’s
second largest bank, also surviving the
end of the national currency era. Its total
circulation of nearly $3 million is wellrepresented in the many notes, both large
and small size, known from this bank. I
have included a photo of the $10 Brown
Back on this bank from my collection,
obtained at a local Pennsylvania auction
many years ago for a very reasonable
price.
Pottsville’s last national bank was the
Merchants National Bank of Pottsville,
charter 8964, which was chartered at the
beginning of 1907. By this time, it was
the third national bank in business in town
Hotz/Page 38
36
The Merchants National Bank was the last of Pottsville’s banks to be chartered. It issued Series
of 1902 large notes and Series of 1929 small notes before entering receivership in 1934. Here is
a Series 1929 $20 issued by the bank. Photo courtesy Heritage Auctions
The massive Schuylkill County Courthouse dominates the city of Pottsville from a hill above the
town. The Romanesque-style structure was built between 1889 and 1891.
The fortress-like Schuylkill County Jail was built in 1851 and sits across from the county
courthouse. It is a massive forbidding structure intended to instill fear in those who saw it.

The Miners National Bank of Pottsville, main branch, on Market Street as it appears today. The
Miners National Bank continues to operate, now in its 150th year of business.
The Miners National Bank of Pottsville as it
appeared circa 1915. The building became too
small and was enlarged considerably in 1928.
Hotz/from Page 36
(the Government National Bank having
closed in 1897) and found a welcome
business. It issued $1.5 million in notes
before being closed by the receiver during the Depression in 1934. Since I was
limiting my Pottsville collection to Brown
Back notes only, I do not have a note
from this bank in my collection, but have
included a photo of a small-size note of
the Series of 1929. Small notes from this
bank are readily available.
Pottsville today is easily reached via
Pennsylvania 61 either south from I-81
or north from I-78. The downtown area
is an architectural gem, with many period
buildings that are well-maintained. The
city is dominated by the Schuylkill County
Courthouse, a five-story Romanesque
structure erected between 1889-1891 on
a hill that overlooks the city. It was the
fourth county courthouse erected on that
site. It is a fantastic building that alone is
worth a visit to Pottsville. Directly opposite the courthouse sits the imposing and
medieval 1851 Schuylkill County Jail, an
imposing fortress-like structure.
It is easily to navigate into Pottsville’s
main business district. I easily found

imposing structure completed in 1928,
enlarged from an earlier smaller building.
Fortunately, one of the more attractive
buildings in town happened to be the
Schuylkill County Historical Society (surprisingly open) and the kind women inside
helped me locate the other bank buildings
using early business directories.
The Pennsylvania National Bank
building, now a branch of M&T Bank,
is located on West Market Street (as are
all the other banks). It is a typical 1920s

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

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

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

This very attractive bank, the most architecturally appealing of Pottsville’s banks, was the home of the Government National Bank, which closed

construction, replacing an earlier building that became too small
to handle the business. Further down West Market Street, on the
corner of Mahoning Avenue, is the old Government National
Bank building, a lovely architectural gem that retains its original
style, even with the word “BANK” above the entrance. Much
farther down, near the Charles Baber Cemetery, is the old
Merchants National Bank building, now refurbished and in use
for offices.
While I was taking photos of this last bank, the fire department sirens began to wail, and I soon found myself watching
scores of regional fire trucks pouring onto West Market Street.
It wasn’t a giant fire or anything similar. It was a firefighter
remembrance celebration, with equipment from all over the surrounding area. All were blaring their sirens and horns. It was
loud, but it was entertaining, and everyone waived at me as I
saluted them.
I did not really have enough time to sufficiently explore all
Pottsville had to offer. There are many antique shops and minimalls, and the courthouse and jail. I plan to revisit,
