NGC grades more Newman rarities
Numismatic Guaranty Corporation
has graded nearly 1,000 coins from the
Eric P. Newman Collection that will go
on the auction block in November in a
Heritage Auctions Signature Sale.
This will be the fifth auction in a
series that is disposing a collection
assembled by the 103-year-old hobbyist
over a period of 90 years.
“Newman Part V ranges from Colonial
and Territorial pieces to large cents and
early gold. The remarkable diversity of
these selections reveals Newman’s absolute passion for collecting and research,”
said Mark Salzberg, chairman of NGC.
Where Newman Part IV offered the
1776 Silver “EG FECIT” Continental
dollar graded NGC MS-63 that realized
just over $1.4 million, Newman Part V
features six more 1776 Continental dollars. Five are in Mint State grades.
There are two varieties of brass
A working collection of large cents, pre-federal coins and gold coins will highlight the fifth
Newman auction. The coins were all graded by NGC.
“CURENCY” Continental dollars, graded
NGC AU-50 and NGC MS-62, and four
varieties of pewter Continental dollars.
Leading the pewter pieces is a 1776
“EG FECIT” piece in NGC MS-66.
The three other pewter pieces are: the
“CURENCY” variety in NGC MS-62,
the “CURRENCEY” variety in NGC
MS-63, and the “CURRENCY” variety
in NGC MS-64.

America’s Oldest and Most Accomplished Rare Coin Auctioneer
Collectors keep things under control
Call me naive, but after 50 years in
the hobby I still think coin collectors are
a cut above the average population. That
doesn’t mean we have absolutely no problems and we can lord it over everybody
else, it simply means that the average collector is a little bit better equipped to deal
with life’s challenges.
Unfortunately, I cannot prove this.
I doubt social scientists would find my
assertion one of sufficient general interest
to test. But I will persist in my belief.
A news story caught my attention on
the day I write my column. It said 35
percent of Americans are so far behind on
their debt repayments that they have been
referred to debt collection agencies. In
Nevada, the figure is 47 percent.
Some of those people behind in their
repayments in Nevada could be coin
collectors, but then I think of Lavere
Redfield. When he died there in 1974
he had more than 400,000 silver dollars
in his basement.
Even though that is extreme behavior, that’s closer to how I think the aver-
Class of
’63
David C. Harper
age collector behaves.
To collect coins, you have to value
them more highly than what they will buy
at the moment.
That puts collectors in the paradox of
deferring immediate gratification while at
the same time indulging it in the form of
possessing coins.
Collecting coins is a means of accumulating assets. That might not be the intent,
but it is the result. Finding the spending
money to obtain coins is an ongoing process that aids us in under-spending our
incomes on immediate consumables.
Sure, we can spend too much by credit
card, or take out a mortgage that is too
large. However, if as collectors we are
asking ourselves where the money will
come from to fund our collecting, we are
more likely to rein in our other spending
to achieve it. That’s all it takes.
Ill health and/or a job loss can hit collectors as much as anybody, but hobbyists
have something of a cushion to fall back
on – at least to start with.
Even as a child I knew a collector of
the same age as me who would raid his
Jefferson nickel collection from time to
time to fund a weekly trip to the movie
theater. In his case he had to save it before
he could take it to spend.
That is a good habit to have. It is one
that seems to be a part of the mindset of
every collector – at least among those I
have come to know over the years.
There are many ways to learn life’s
important lessons. I do not expect numismatics to be held up as a new aid in
financial planning, but the inventor of the
Whitman coin album, R.S. Yeoman, said
one of the original appealing qualities of
albums and the predecessor coin boards
was that they were a way to save money.
That was important in the Depression.

Why wasn’t Kennedy
silver set offered July 24?
First, I would like to compliment the
Mint on the way orders were placed
July 24. I signed on just after noon EST
and was put in a holding pattern, being
advised minute by minute how long my
wait would be to place an order for
the new Kennedy halves. I waited and
watched the countdown for 24 minutes,
then I was able to place my order.
Bad news: Around 9 a.m. I called the
Mint to see if the four half silver set was

being offered July 24 – set K13. The Mint
spokesman said, yes, at noon. So, there I
was expecting to be able to order the silver set and then after 24 minutes finding
out only the two halves set of uncirculated
was being offered. Of course I was very
disappointed, but the Mint should have
given out information as to when we
could expect the set to become available.
On the 24th when you entered “K13”
into the search engine, all you received
was a note saying that the two uncirculated coins are not duplicated in the K13
set. Today there is a statement, when you
use the search engine, that K13 will be
available “fall of 2014.”
Why didn’t they advise everyone
before today, say two days ago? I even got
a postcard in the mail from the Mint that
lists K13, but no offer date.

Expected to see silver
Kennedy set offered too
What happened at the Mint July 24?
The day was going OK. I was ready to
order the Kennedy half silver set. The
site was opened early about 11:35 a.m.
EST. I went to the waiting room; waiting time 13 minutes. I was connected to
the Mint site in 12 minutes. I am sure
you already know about all this. There
never was anything on the site.
This morning still no mention of
when the sets would be available. They
did put the two-coin set on this morning.

Editor’s note: The silver set will not
be available until the fall.

VIEWPOINT
Kennedy coin fuss goes overboard
By Bob Olekson
I am amazed at all the fuss this year
about the Kennedy half dollar. I am surprised that they have not decided to issue
a five-ounce silver one like the National
Parks quarters.
I find it totally disgusting they are giving so much attention to this considering
the fact that the 100th anniversary of the
Indian head Buffalo nickel was ignored
with only an expensive reverse proof gold
coin for this 100th anniversary. We didn’t
even have fractional gold.
Also, why didn’t we have a fourcoin Buffalo nickel set with four different finishes? All the attention to the
Kennedy half dollar yet there was none
for the Buffalo.
What about 2016? Are they going to
make 100th anniversary Barber commemoratives in gold and silver as well as
Mercury dimes, Standing Liberty quarters and Walking Liberty halves?
Let this be the last year for the Kennedy half dollar.
It no longer circulates and needs a rest after 50 years.
Will they ignore this like the Buffalo
nickel, or make too much fuss like for the
Kennedy half dollar?
I also want to know why the 1964
Kennedy portrait, which Jackie Kennedy
approved, was gradually changed until
it became unrecognizable and now was
revived in all its original glory?
Why wasn’t the original portrait kept
the way it was? After 50 years it was gradually altered, not for the better. It is nice to
see it restored again to its original form.
The same thing happened to the Seated
Liberty coin design from the lovely 1836
Gobrecht dollar to something later that
was ugly and unrecognizable.
Why not do a Kennedy like the Lincoln
cent set and have four different reverses
of Kennedy’s life, PT 109 and so forth?
Let this be the last year for the Kennedy
half dollar. It no longer circulates and
needs a rest after 50 years. It is sad, but
after 50 years it still has never circulated.
The dollar coins will circulate once the
dollar bill is eliminated. I was in Canada
and the coins are great, with no cent and
$1 and $2 coins. Why don’t people see
this here? They can’t because of all the
paper bills.

Not much of a wait to order
Kennedy set
So much for the big rush. I got my
five Kennedy half sets by phone at
12:16 p.m. eastern and as of 1:45 p.m.
there was no longer even a wait to get
on the site. You could go to USMint.
com and get right onto the site and place
your order.
Even as one of the first buyers, my
order for shipping (expedited two to
three days) is back ordered to Monday
July 28. So much for the first day of
issue hoop jumping contest with NGC.
Somehow though, I think the big dealers
will have plenty of First Day issues. It’s
a miracle!

Attending ANA show to get
Kennedy halves
I’m going to Chicago for one reason,
to get the Kennedys and have them
graded on site to get the ANA releases
label. People are willing to pay $5,000
(approximately) for the label, like the
reverse Buffaloes and Baseball Hall of
Fame coins from ANA conventions. I’ll
be glad to sell to them.
It’s a shame the U.S. Mint does this
at shows because only a few individuals
will be able to get them because the big
dealers are sending bus loads of employees and their friends to the convention to
buy as many as they can. Cry foul! Too
much greed involved!
I’ll try to get as many as possible
over a four-day period, and I’ll be offering people with tickets hundreds of dollars over cost for their coins. The Mint
will not be tracking buyers, so you can
get in line every day for tickets, regardless if you have already gotten some.
After speaking with the ANA convention coordinator, the tickets will
not be given out during the show. They
will be given out prior to the start of
the show, outside of the bourse floor.
Check your facts Mr. Harper; call the
ANA and ask Rhonda. She is in charge,
not the Mint. The fire marshall will
not allow an announcement during the
show. The ANA is concerned it will
10
affect the dealers on the bourse floor.
The dealers are the priority, not the
Mint. The Mint has to play by the ANA
rules for this show.
Tickets will be given out before the
doors open in a waiting area outside the
bourse entrance. No camping out either.
The Chicago police have confirmed
that. Also, all sky bridges from the
hotels to the convention center will be
closed off for this show. Good luck to
all. I’m flying in from Florida. Call the
ANA for the real way the tickets will be
given out. See you there.

It took 4 months for Mint
to say coin is sold out
I write to advise of an unfortunate
experience with the U.S. Mint, and I
hope you can let me know – directly
or in the pages of Numismatic News –
whether this is a common occurrence.
I purchased the uncirculated gold
commemorative Baseball Hall of Fame
issue when it went on sale on March 27,
and I have received that issue.
On March 29, I decided to buy the
proof as well, and placed the order.
On that same day I received an email
from the Mint confirming the successful placement of my order, and advising that the coin was back ordered and
would be shipped on April 13.
I checked the order status on the Mint
website periodically, and it always said
that the order was in process, although
the shipping date kept getting pushed
back. On July 17, I received another
email from the Mint, advising that the
back ordered coin would ship on Aug.
1. Then, on July 24, I received an email
from the Mint advising that the coin I
ordered was “sold out.”
Now, with a small (50,000) mintage
maximum, the Mint certainly should
have been able to advise at the time of
ordering that my order had come in after
the ordering limit was reached.
What stretches belief is that a computerized ordering system took four
months, after two confirmations of
ordering status and statements of shipping date, to suddenly discover that the
coin was sold out.
As you know, Mint issuances are
frequently overpriced and overproduced, prices decline after issuance, and
sometimes remain under issue price for
decades. Here, however, the combination of low supply and high demand
meant that these coins, with an issue
price of $424.75, now sell in the secondary market for $750-800 ungraded
with OGP.
So, unfortunately, this raises my suspicions as to what really happened to
the coin I ordered. Is the Mint so utterly
incompetent that they could not determine for almost four months that the
coin I bought actually exceeded the
mintage limit? Hard to believe.
This is not the outcome one expects
when dealing with an arm of the U.S.
government. As a coin collector, it is
extremely disappointing to find that the
rare occurrence of a Mint coin going
up in value after purchase – and after
waiting nearly four months for receipt
– results in being told that the item is
sold out.
I am curious as to whether you have
heard of this occurrence before (either
with the gold HOF coin or others, and if
so how common is this).

Collector can’t find
Presidential dollars at banks
I have a comment about Mr. Ray’s
letter in your July 22 Numismatic News
issue.
Mr. Ray said that Presidential dollars
are sitting unused in bank vaults. I collect Presidential dollars and I’m having
a hard time finding them.
In recent days I’ve gone to two
branches of my local bank in search of
those coins. One branch was totally out.
The other had them in bags of 100 that
you could buy for $100. You take the
bag home, search for the ones you need,
then return what’s left to the bank and
they put them in your bank account.
The teller I talked to said that “when
we get $500 in gold Presidential coins”
we return them to the government.

Bullion gets a promotion
Bullion in bar form has long been
viewed as a convenient way of trading in
precious metals. But is it collectible?
That might seem like a foolish question from anyone who lived through the
one-ounce silver bar collecting boom of
the early 1970s, or who regularly buys
one-ounce theme pieces sold by many
companies to celebrate births and anniversaries and special events.
Also, bars of gold or silver bullion
from sunken shipwrecks like the S.S.
Central America are collected as historical artifacts. They change hands in numismatic auctions and in private treaty sales.
So bars certainly have a place as collectible items. The question is how big
a place.
I had a recent email from someone who
wanted to know about how to properly store
10-ounce bars for the long term. The writer
was clearly a collector and was concerned
about preserving what he has acquired.
Perhaps I am out of touch, but I have
long thought of multiple-ounce bars as
something one throws in a safe, safe
deposit box or some sort of bonded warehouse as a convenient means of storing
wealth in the form of precious metals.
e-letters
Condition? I had a 100-ounce silver
bar that I purchased in 1969 that I sold in
1978 to help keep my finances on an even
keel. While I did not store it in a bucket of
slop, other than putting it in a safe deposit
box, I did not give the idea of preservation
any further thought. When I sold it, was
bought as so much bullion.
A lot of time has passed since then.
Here we are in the year 2014. Not long
after the email from the collector arrived
in my inbox, there came an announcement
from the Royal Canadian Mint that it is
introducing a new 10-ounce silver bar.
This new bar is .9999 fine, has a
reeded edge and is serially numbered.
It is struck like a coin rather than cast
in a mold.
The design of the bar is generic, but
it looks great. There are numerous Maple
Leaf symbols of the mint on the reverse
and a seal-like design on the obverse.
As is the purpose of all bars, it is to be
traded as a convenient means of holding
bullion, but it has a special finish that the
RCM calls its “signature bullion finish.”
How should it be stored?
Does a bar like this need a special holder?
Will value in the future be higher for
bars preserved in holders versus those that
were simply stored somewhere as I stored
my bar so long ago?
If large bars become widely collected
as one-ounce bars did, will we see proof
surfaces, matte surfaces, regular uncirculated surfaces used to differentiate pricing? Will bars be graded by how well
struck they are and by points of wear?
All of this could happen or none of it
depending on how widespread such differentiation becomes.
Obviously, if you set my old cast
bar next to a more modern bar you will
appreciate how much improved production methods have become in the last
half century.
In the bullion booms that followed the
early 1970s, most of the one-ounce bars simply were valued by the quantity of silver they
represented and thrown into the melting pot,
though some scarce pieces have come down
through the years with premium values. It
will be interesting to see how a potential collector angle will develop.
By the way, I did Google bar holders to
see that there are hard plastic holders for
certain bars. That is certainly a step down
the road of collectibility.
from the July 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.
Is issuing more Ultra High Relief gold coins in 2015 a good idea?
I like the looks of the high relief
coins. I recently purchased the American
Eagle and American Buffalo dollars
from Tuvalu in PCGS PR-70DCAM and
both are fantastic.
To some collectors obtaining gold
coins is well beyond our budgets. High
relief silver is affordable to most and a
very nice addition to anyone ones collection. I rarely purchase raw (uncertified) coins and only purchase those from
PCGS. This prevents the coins from
being damaged when showing them and
also lets me know what the current value
12
is as related to condition. The holders
also make storing those coins easy.
I would really like to see the mint
go to all high relief coins for their commemoratives. That way we could end the
current commemorative series and start
on a completely new series. I believe that
creating a new series of commemoratives
could also bring in new collectors who
don’t want to invest thousands putting
together the past issues.
I came back to coin collecting in 1999
with the start of the state quarter series.
That turned into several other coin col-
lections as my interest grew. I have a nice
collection now thanks to that new series.
I believe that the introduction of high
relief will be a shot in the arm for the
collecting of coins. Without new collectors coming into our world the collection
of coins could become something from
the past. We should do everything we can
to grow our ranks.
Jayne Shelby Hollywood, Md.
It may not matter much if “high relief ”
in gold coins will make a difference. From
my perspective, gold coins are for sure a
cut above “business strikes.” They may
not have the appeal of proof coins, but for
sure a cut above on sight alone for detail.
Gary Kess
Berkel en Rodenrijs Netherlands
The 2009 Saint-Gaudens Ultra High
Relief was a special case. I had seen the
original at the Smithsonian Institution and
was blown away by it. When the new one
was announced, I told my wife I was getting one and didn’t much care what it cost.
A new one would have to be very special
as well. The new, modern eagle looks like
a strong and interesting image.
I hope they don’t use the 2009
design on the obverse. This should be
an entirely new piece, and that would
make it more special. If they want to
reuse an old design, perhaps an updating of the high-relief head from the
wreath cent would make be sufficiently
historically important.
Bill Eckberg West Palm Beach, Fla.
Most collectors cannot afford gold
coins. I know I can’t. Why not involve a
lot more collectors by producing an ultra
high relief silver coin?
Klaus Schwalfenberg Torrance, Calif.
I would love to see a new UHR coin,
provided the design complements the
UHR format. I would definitely buy one.
Bill Rodgers Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
Absolutely not! Once a limit has been
reached it should be kept that way or the
price will only decline and less people
will order in the future knowing the market could be flooded at any time.
Phil Iversen Sherman Oaks, Calif.
Rather than allowing the Mint to make
a big profit off of the markup of high
relief coins, I would like to see the Mint
conceal all of the new regular and high
relief coins so they cannot be identified by
anyone including Mint employees.
Anyone buying the 2015 gold coin
could have a chance to obtain a high relief
if they were randomly inserted in the coin
orders. Nobody would know who was
getting a high relief until the package was
opened at the buyers destination.
People obtaining a high relief would
be reluctant to sell in the after market
because the value could only increase.
They will be true collectibles.
Charles Scott Perry Ada, Okla.
I think it would be a great idea. The
Ultra High Relief gold coin from 2009 is
a beautiful coin and a superb rendition of
the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle.
And since the high relief hasn’t been
done since then, doing it again would
definitely put something out there that
I personally would be interested in.
Especially if they do it with the newlook eagle in flight on the reverse that I
first saw in NN awhile back. I was really
impressed with what they actually chose
for a reverse design.
Now if they get they can get the proper
image of Liberty on the obverse correct,
then they will have a winner. I would
really like to see what their interpretation
of a “modern rendition” of Liberty for the
obverse actually looks like before I make
my final verdict on the total package.
And, like all of us out here, keep up the
good work.
Mike Buchala Hillsborough, N.J.

to earn an early release label from major
grading services. One grading firm had a
very tight window for buyers to act.
Sets purchased now have a projected
September delivery date.
Each anniversary set contains both
a Philadelphia and a Denver coppernickel clad half dollar with an uncirculated finish. On each coin is the
1964 portrait done by Gilroy Roberts.
This distinguishes these coins from regular 2014 Kennedy half dollars sold in
bags and rolls and other sets.
Price of the set is $9.95. There is
a five-set-per-household order limit in
effect. A shipping and handling charge of
$4.95 is assessed on all orders.
Also bearing the 1776 date of American Independence is Newman’s New
Hampshire copper. Graded NGC VG-8 BN, it is believed to be one of only two
examples in private hands.
There are five 1792 Washington pieces: A Getz Small Eagle, Plain Edge
“G. Washington President. I.” cent in NGC MS-64 BN; a Roman Head cent in
NGC PF-65 RB, a unique Eagle and Stars cent in NGC XF-40 BN, a “General
of the American Armies” reverse in NGC XF- 45 BN and a “Washington Born
Virginia” cent in NGC MS-65 BN.
Additional descriptions of the varied Newman coins were provided by NGC.
The Colonial selections feature a group of 1787 Fugio coppers. Newman is
the author of the standard reference for them and all of these pieces have been
attributed by NGC with Newman catalog numbers. Among the most notable
Fugio coppers are the 1787 Raised Rims Fugio copper, Newman 1-Z, NGC
MS-64 BN and the “FUCIO” Newman 2-C variety in NGC XF-40 BN.
The California Gold Rush and the earlier Georgia/North Carolina Gold Rush
contribute two dozen Territorial Gold coins. There are two Wass, Molitor & Co.
pieces: the 1855 $50 gold slug in NGC MS-61 and the 1862 Wide Date, Large
Head $10 graded NGC MS-63. Also included are several Bechtler pieces, a
Mormon $5 in NGC MS-61, and two U.S. Assay Office pieces.
Federal U.S. coins begin with a 1794 dollar, which is one of just 1,758 pieces
struck in the first year of this denomination. It is graded AU-50 by NGC.
A top-grade gold highlight is an 1867 double eagle. Graded NGC MS-66, it
is a full three grades higher than the second-finest known example.
NGC said there is a sizeable working collecting of large cents, including
a number of varieties attributed by Sheldon and Newcomb catalog numbers,
are listed in Newman Part V. The 1793 Sheldon-13 Liberty Cap Cent graded
NGC AU 53 BN is significant as a high grade example of a rare early large
cent variety.
The first four sales realized over $45 million, with the proceeds going to the

Canadian bar new collectible frontier?
By Connor Falk
With Canada’s newest 10-ounce silver
bullion bar design about to go on sale,
collectors wonder if the bars themselves
might have a value to them beyond their
bullion content.
“We are one of the largest sellers of
Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) bullion
bars. We’ve had pretty good success
selling them,” said Michael Haynes,
President of American Precious Metals
Exchange (APMEX) headquartered in
Oklahoma City, Okla.
Haynes’ company was taking preorders on the new silver bar before its
Aug. 5 release date.
He said a big selling point for the
new bar was the customers knew about
them and trust them.
“The RCM is a familiar bar producer,” he said.
When asked about the latest anticounterfeiting measures the RCM took
with the new bars, he pointed out the
reeded edge, the finish and the packaging as being attractive to both collectors
and investors worried about security.
“The best thing to do is to make the
bar different and the packaging different to run up the counterfeiting costs,”
he said.
He then pointed out that the new
design does exactly that.
“The Canadians are doing a good job.
We will probably sell a lot,” he said.
He pointed out that the bars have
a high degree of desirability by being
from a widely respected official mint
from which collectors can expect quality, new security devices and the opportunity to collect a new product.
Lee Crane, owner of L & C Coins,
a rare coin business in Los Alamitos,
Calif., evaluated the new bar from the
collectible aspect.
“If you go back to the ’70s, there was
an art bar collecting craze but that was
for private minted bars,” he said.
Government minted bars, on the other
hand, could be a different story, he said.
“A lot of collectors are buying modern coins, grading them right away and
20
With a reeded edge like a coin and a special bullion finish, will the new 10-ounce silver bar
from the Royal Canadian Mint become collectible as coins are collectible rather than just being
a convenient way to own silver?
going after the best ones,” he said.
He said that it wouldn’t be a stretch to
expand collector grading to bullion bars,
though he questioned whether grading com-
panies would create a new slab for them.
“I don’t see them grading them, but
they could. Could it catch on? It could,”
he said.

GOLD BULLION MARKET VALUES
Pre-ANA action missing due to gold jitters
Curiously the usual burst of dealer activity ahead of the ANA event in
Chicago has not occurred. The market
appears firm but normally for several
weeks ahead there are increased dealer
bids in all the desirable areas of U.S.
coins, especially type coins. There is a
great deal of anxiety associated with a
possible breakdown by gold to test recent
lows or even new lows. While it is not
really true, gold is often seen as a barometer of all numismatic business by dealers.
It applies to bullion-related material and
has direct influence on Mint product and
modern material, but has little effect on
classic coins. These are better type coins,
early issues and scarce dates, primarily
those that are 50 or more years old. There
is still strong underlying demand for early
type coins, especially those of the Bust
variety. These are popular. Bust half dollars are plentiful and avidly collected by
date and variety. There is almost always
promotional demand for the lower grade
issues as well for all Bust type coins. Last
year the $3 Indian Princess was in strong
demand and rising going into the ANA
show. This year it is declining.

Gold is down $5 and silver is down
20 cents. Platinum is even with our last
report. Strength in platinum and palladium is lending some support to gold
and silver. Russia has been buying gold.
In June it was 500,000 troy ounces, May
300,000 troy ounces and April 900,000
troy ounces. Silver Eagle sales at the U.S.
Mint have been declining lately, but are
expected to pick up after vacation season.

COIN CLINIC
Mint made its own coin presses
■ Did the U.S. Mint ever make its own
coin presses? I know they made their own
scales to weigh bullion and coins.
The Philadelphia Mint did manufacture
its own coin presses. In 1940 a total of
nine presses were built, at a cost of $8,500
each, with the notation that this was about
$1,000 cheaper than bids from an outside
press manufacturer. At the time they joined
some of the old Carson City coin presses
that were still operating at Philadelphia.
The oldest of that group was a coin press
made in a railroad machine shop in 1867.
The same source mentions an item about
the Mint using foreign equipment, because
it lists four French-made coin presses in
use (built to metric scale) along with presses from such American manufacturers as
Morgan and Orr, and Waterbury and Farrel,
long since gone from the scene.
■ Did the Treasury issue any of the silver
dollars that were in the vaults prior to the
run in the 1960s?
Three million were released for Christmas
1954, mostly coins of the 1880s. Uncirculated
1889 dollars that were found in the bags sold
for $16. Other newspaper stories cited values
to $17. One bank in Montana got a bag of
1,000 1893-CC dollars.
■ Didn’t a Mint official once make a flat
statement that no more dollars would ever
be produced?
Mint Director George E. Roberts on June
30, 1904, said: “There will never be another
silver dollar minted in this country.”
■ Did the Treasury Department resist
striking the Morgan dollars?
Many times, but the silver lobby was
too powerful. Secretary of the Treasury
Charles T. Fairchild in his 1887 annual
report said: “It is a waste to coin and store
any more silver dollars at present. There
is no function which those that are coined
after this time will probably ever perform,
except to lie in government vaults and be
a basis upon which Silver Certificates
can be issued. The five, two and one
dollar Certificates furnish a convenient
currency, and it is evident that the future
30
use of the silver dollar will be almost
exclusively in that form.”
■ Where was the Desert Mint?
The actual spelling is Deseret Mint. It
was established in 1849 by the Mormons
in Salt Lake City. During its lifetime it
struck $2.50, $5, $10 and $20 gold coins,
the latter the first $20 struck in what is now
the United States. Utah didn’t become a
state until 1896, but its territory had been
acquired from Mexico in 1848.
■ How many dies were used to strike the
rare 1895 proof Morgan dollars?
Walter Breen lists a total of five obverses.
Authenticators at the American Numismatic
Association in 1985 listed four different dies,
an unusually high number for the minuscule
proof mintage of 880. At least three of the
dates on the dies tilt up to the right, so
identification must be made by the location
of the digits over the denticles. Several of
the 1895-O and 1895-S dollars have dates
in identical locations, so the position alone
is not enough to authenticate the coin. The
branch mint coins are frequently altered by
removing the mintmark.
■ How many medals did the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission
authorize for the Bicentennial celebration
in 1976?
The ARBC, in addition to the nearly
two dozen that they handled directly
authorized a total of more than 900 medals
that were struck by both the U.S. Mint
and a number of private mints for local,
state and national Bicentennial organizing
groups. A California collector, Robert
Young, reportedly has the largest existing
collection of these medals. Some years
ago he reportedly was preparing a catalog
of the medals, a task the ARBC failed to
complete because of a lack of funds.
■ When was the first American
Numismatic Association mid-winter
convention (now called the National
Money Show) held?
Following on the heels of the longstanding tradition of the annual summer
convention, the ANA decided to hold its
first mid-winter show at Colorado Springs,
Colo., on Feb. 16-18, 1978. Since then the
mid-winter has moved around the country
and around the calendar, as it has been held
as late as May.
■ After reading about the 1990 nomintmark proof cents, I’m curious as to how
many inspectors looked at the coins without
seeing that the mintmark was missing?
The figure provided by the Mint some
years ago was that at least 14 people
inspect either the dies or the finished
coins from the time the dies are made until
the coins are packaged to be shipped to
customers. This figure is probably low if
you include everyone who works on the
dies and on the coins.
■ I’ve seen two conflicting dates for the
first issue of a Canadian $5 trade coin. Can
you figure out which one is right?
The Calgary Stampede, the “mother of all
rodeos,” struck a gold-plated $5 trade coin
for release in 1982, along with four different
$1 pieces. This was billed as the first issue
of a $5 trade coin in Canada. The confusion
arose because the Calgary Stampede issued
two $5 pieces in 1968 and 1970, but rather
than being trade dollars, those pieces were
casino tokens. The Calgary trade coin series
dates back to the first issue in 1963.
■ Why isn’t the motto IN GOD WE
TRUST on the 1892 and 1893 Columbian
half dollar?
This question doesn’t come in as often
as the “missing” motto on 1950 Federal
Reserve Notes, but the answer is the same.
Back then there was no specific requirement
for the motto. In the case of the Columbian
half, even LIBERTY is also missing.
■ Can you identify a piece that I have? It
is a round brass disk with the letters “WPA”
and a number.
It is a tool check, or identification check,
issued to workers for the Works Progress
Administration, which spent more than $10
billion on projects to employ the eight
million unemployed during the Depression.
Ten billion dollars doesn’t seem like much
today. It went further 80 years ago when
someone on a WPA road project in New
Hampshire pushing a wheelbarrow was paid
25 cents an hour.

Medals, currency trace World War I
By Kerry Rodgers
By mid-August 1914 the opening gambits of the war had been played. Battles now
raged along two European fronts. The first
casualties had been sustained and interred.
Over the ensuing months of 1914 a
series of increasingly bloody conflicts
would test the strength and resolve of all
soldiers. These would establish a series of
battle lines that would see few significant
positional changes over the next three
years. The body count would rise relentlessly throughout.
On home fronts, major and irreversible
changes were under way in the social,
political and economic lives of all countries involved. One tangible consequence
was the rapid replacement of gold by
paper in Britain and Germany.
And these first months would usher in
the age of the propaganda medal alongside an ever-growing number of families
qualified to receive memorial plaques.
Belgium
Germany invaded neutral Belgium
on Aug. 3. It was an essential phase of
Obverse of 1914 Belgium gold francs showing
the remarkable King Albert. Following the
German invasion, Albert took personal command
of the Belgian army and organized its stubborn
defense. Throughout the next four years he
refused to take sanctuary abroad but fought
alongside his troops. His wife, Queen Elisabeth,
worked as a nurse at the front. They allowed
14-year-old Prince Leopold to enlist and fight as
a private. Image courtesy Heritage Auctions.
Germany’s Schlieffen Plan. The object was
to catch the French off guard and capture
Paris quickly, as in the Franco-Prussian war.
Within a few days, the German high
command experienced its first check. The
Belgian army was a tenth the size of the
German, its troops had less training, and
it was quipped with just 102 machine
guns — no heavy artillery. Nevertheless,
it stymied the German offensive for nearly
a month during which French and British
forces had time to organize a response.
The German army was outraged. It
reacted with multiple large-scale attacks
on Belgian civilians, coupled with
destruction of historic buildings. In the
city of Leuven, the university’s library of
300,000 medieval books and manuscripts
was deliberately burned.
Between August and November, the
German army executed more than 6,500
French and Belgian civilians, many in
random actions. High-profile Belgians
were held hostage in Germany.
These outrages were quick to change
public perceptions in neutral countries, including the United States. They
prompted a famous numismatic response:
American sculptor Paul Manship’s bronze
“The Foe of Free Peoples.”
By late 1914, the Belgian king had just
60,000 soldiers left. Nonetheless, these
WWI/Page 34
Bearers of Culture / Allies in
World War / 1914
The introduction of non-white colonial
troops into the Western Front late in
1914 by Britain and France promoted a
savage, racist reaction from Germany.
The colonial soldiers were portrayed as
savages lacking any worth or culture.
Descriptions included: an anthropological
show of uncivilised … hands and hordes
… a motley crew of colour and religions
… dead vermin of the wilderness. In
early 1915, the German Foreign Office
issued a memorandum, Employment,
Contrary to International Law, of Coloured

wounded and captured German soldiers.

troops had stopped the Schlieffen Plan in
its tracks. For the duration of the war, they
would prevent the German army from
occupying the entire country or capturing
strategic Channel ports.
David vs. Goliath
Serbia had its army fully mobilized
in four days. The nation could summon
350,000 men to arms — 185,000 of
whom were combat trained — from its
population of less than 5 million, and its
officer corps was highly professional.
However, the Serbs were poorly
equipped. They had only 180,000 modern rifles, less than enough to arm frontline units. Ammunition reserves were poor.
Artillery shells were limited to 100 per unit.
Arrayed against the Serbs was the
might of three Austro-Hungarian armies
consisting of 350,000 fully-equipped men
drawn from a population 12 times that
of Serbia. These forces were tasked with
destroying the entire Serbian military.
However, the Austro-Hungarian armies
had issues, too. More than a quarter of the
soldiers were illiterate. Most were conscripts from throughout the empire who
were unable to understand either German
or Hungarian. Many were Slavs with links
to Austria-Hungary’s enemies.
On July 29, Austro-Hungarian ships
shelled Belgrade. On Aug. 12, their forces
invaded across the Drina River. The initial
thrust came from Austria-Hungary’s 5th
Army, whose General Oskar Potiorek was
anxious to win a quick victory for Kaiser
Franz Josef’s birthday. To the astonishment
of the Serbs, the Austro-Hungarian attack
came through the hills, rather than the
plains. After a four-day battle the AustroHungarians were forced to retreat.
A second offensive in early September
went badly for the Serbians and ended
bogged in trench warfare.
A massive Austro-Hungarian attack in
early November saw the battered Serbian
1st army withdraw and Belgrade abandoned on Dec. 2. However, the Serbs realized the Austro-Hungarian forces were
now dangerously overstretched. When
fresh ammunition supplies and replacement units turned up, a Serb counterattack
saw the Austro-Hungarian 6th army driven back across the border, with Belgrade
liberated on Dec. 15.
In short, after a four-month slugfest,
the there was no change in border position. The Serbs had lost 170,000: killed,
wounded, captured or missing. AustroHungarian losses were 227,000 out of a

Early in the war, Germany protested the use of dum-dum (expanding) bullets against their
troops by Belgian, British and French troops. Protests included a telegram from Kaiser
Wilhelm to President Wilson, and the Goetz medallion shown was issued to mark the first
occasion of use of dum-dums by French troops. Obverse inscription reads: [Hate did you
sow firstly]; the reverse: [All respect for the Grande Nation]. The French cockerel on the
reverse kicks the Geneva Convention into the dirt, presumably having soiled it. Goetz is in
error here. The use of such bullets was outlawed by the Hague Convention of 1899, not the
Geneva Convention as shown. Image © Henry Scott Goodman, www.KarlGoetz.com

force of 450,000. Then, the worst typhus
epidemic in world history erupted during
the Serbian winter and claimed hundreds
of thousands of civilians.
The Russians are coming!
War out east began with a Russian
invasion of Germany’s East Prussia and
the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia
on Aug. 17, 1914. The latter relieved the
pressure on Serbia. The former turned
into a rout.
The Battle of Tannenberg was one of
the most important conflicts of 1914. In
the four days between 26 Aug. 26 and
Aug. 30, the only forces Germany had
in the east, its 8th army, destroyed the
Russian 2nd army despite a Russian to
German troop ratio of 29 to 16. Some
2,000 Russian troops were captured and
78,000 killed or wounded. Just 10,000
escaped. The Germans suffered 12,000
casualties out of their 150,000 troops.
Sixty trains were required to transport
captured Russian equipment to Germany.
It was a triumph for the German commander Paul von Hindenburg and his
senior field officers. It was made sweeter
by the severe mauling handed out to the
Russian 1st army some days later that saw
it forced to retreat beyond the pre-war
border. Russian forces would not march
on German soil again until 1945.
It was not a complete victory. German
forces could not advance into Russia, and
an unnecessary relocation of German
troops from west to east would complete
undoing of Germany’s Schlieffen Plan.
Meanwhile, on the Austro-Hungarian
front to the south, Austro-Hungarian Chief
of Staff Conrad von Hötzendorf knew an
early victory was his only chance against
the vast number of men the Russians
could muster.
On Aug. 23, he launched his offensive

through the Austro-Hungarian province
of Galicia into Russian Poland. The first
battle lasted the two days it took the
Austro-Hungarian 1st army to destroy
Russia’s 4th army.
The second battle at Komarów from
Aug. 26 to Sept. 2 saw the AustroHungarian 4th army smash the infantry of
Russia’s 5th army, with more than 20,000
of Russia’s best soldiers taken prisoner.
With the Russians in retreat in the
north, the Austrians now advanced in the
south to meet Russia’s 3rd and 8th armies
at Gnila Lipa. The result was disastrous for
the Austro-Hungarians, who were utterly
routed and unable to halt a Russian drive
west that was slowed only by poor roads.
The Austro-Hungarian’s 4th army was
immediately ordered south to deal to the
Russian advance. This left a gap between
the 1st and 4th armies, into which that
Russia’s 3rd army drove. The Austrians
escaped encirclement by beating a lengthy
retreat and abandoning large numbers of
men and considerable equipment.
In an effort to stem the Russian flow,
Austria-Hungary recalled its 2nd army
from Serbia. It was too late. The entire
Austrian front collapsed in Galicia, leaving the Russians in control.
These Russian successes led to even
more German forces being transferred from
west to east. Battles at Vistula River and

British Expeditionary Force
In the aftermath of the Second Boer
War of 1899-1902, the British Army was
totally reorganized. An Expeditionary
Force was created of seven divisions,
and it was this force that went to the aid
of France as Germany advanced through
Belgium. It would be the first time in
more than 1,000 years French troops
would fight alongside British.
At the start of the war, the British
Army consisted of volunteers rather than
conscripts and numbered just 247,432
regular troops — considerably smaller
than its French and German counterparts.
On Aug. 7, a British Expeditionary
Force (BEF) of six infantry divisions and
five cavalry brigades landed in France,
led by Field Marshal John French. It represented half the combat strength of the
British army.
Kaiser Wilhelm was famously dismissive of the BEF. He reportedly told
Generaloberst Helmuth von Moltke on
Aug. 19 to “exterminate ... the treach-
erous English and walk over General
French’s contemptible little army.” No
record of any such order exists in the
German imperial archive, but the story
led to soldiers of the BEF being known as
“The Old Contemptibles.”
The BEF’s first conflict with the
Germans came at Mons on Aug. 23 on
the Belgian-French border. Their orders
were to hold the line of the Mons–Condé
Canal against the advancing German First
army. A sudden withdrawal of the French
5th army exposed the British right flank
and forced a retreat that lasted for two
weeks, until the Battle of Marne.
Following Marne, the BEF became
part of the September counter-offensive
popularly known the Race to the Sea to
seize control of strategic Channel ports.
The Race culminated in the First Battle of
Ypres on Flanders fields. Between Oct.
14 and Nov. 30, BEF casualties numbered
7,960 dead, 29,562 wounded and 17,873
missing. The BEF had arrived in France
with 84,000 infantry. By the end of Ypres,
the BEF had suffered 86,237 casualties
most of whom were infantry. Come the
end of 1914 Britain’s pre-war professional
army had been eliminated.

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

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

WWI/from Page 36
Germany and Austria-Hungary experienced out east. Moltke’s tinkering was to
undo the plan completely in the west and
precipitate years of trench warfare.
Along with its mid-August advance
through Belgium, the German army was
simultaneously engaged in a series of
battles along the France’s eastern frontier.
Like the Germans, the French wanted
a quick victory. On Aug. 7 France invaded
Alsace-Lorraine, precipitating the first
major French-German battle of the war.
German heavy artillery and machineguns caused massive French casualties
that included 27,000 killed in one day, the
worst one-day death toll in France’s history. After suffering 300,000 casualties,
the French fell back toward Paris.
The British and French withdrawal
from the Belgian border had allowed
the Germans to strike through northern France. Rear guard actions delayed
the German advance sufficiently for the
French to transfer forces from elsewhere
to bolster the defense of Paris. The
upshot was the First Battle of the Marne,
Sept. 5-12.
It was now that the depletion of the
German army through relocation of significant troop numbers to the east came
into play. At Marne, six French field
armies and the BEF stood their ground
and counterattacked along the river. They
stopped the down-sized German army
in its tracks. Moltke suffered a nervous
breakdown, and his officers ordered a
retreat to the northeast.
The French 6th army had been considered by the Germans to be the weak point
in the allied chain. It was bolstered by the
sudden transfer of 10,000 French reserve
38
infantry that occurred Sept. 6-7. More
than 6,000 of these were transported by
several hundred Parisian cabs: les taxis de
la Marne. This number, of course, was but
a drop in the ocean of more than a million
men involved at Marne, half of whom
would be wounded or killed.
The retreating Germans were pursued
by the French and British, but the exhausted forces could not keep pace. Eventually,
after 64 km, the German armies dug in on
the Aisne River. These trenches were to
last for years. Mobile warfare had ended
in the west.
Both sides now became entrenched
along a meandering fortified line that
stretched from the North Sea to the Swiss
frontier: The Western Front. This front
would remain essentially unchanged for
most of the war.
With Germany facing a two-front war,
Moltke is reported to have told Kaiser
Wilhelm: “Your Majesty, we have lost the
war.” On Sept. 14, Erich von Falkenhayn
replaced Moltke as chief of staff.
The Ottomans cast their lot
The Ottoman Empire had signed a
secret pact with Germany in August 1914
when it saw the European war as an
opportunity to recover territories lost to
Russia from 1877–78. Germany regarded
this action as a valuable distraction of
Russian forces and seconded advisers to
the Ottoman Army.
On Aug. 5, the Ottoman Empire closed
the Dardanelles, and on Oct. 29 its fleet
shelled the Russian port of Odessa. Three
days later, Russia declared war on Turkey
and swept across the common frontier in
the Caucasus. By the end of 1914, things
were not looking good for the Ottoman
armies.
In the Persian Gulf, a major British
offensive had begun on Nov. 6, when the
6th Indian Division invaded Mesopotamia.
Its objective was to protect the oil pipeline
from Persia. Two weeks later, the city of
Basra fell.
Subsequently, Britain’s secretary of
state announced, “in view of the state of
war arising out of the actions of Turkey,
Egypt is placed under the protection of
His Majesty and will henceforth constitute a British Protectorate. The Suzerainty
of Turkey is terminated.”
On Nov. 11 Sultan Mehmed V declared
Jihad on all forces of the Triple Alliance.
Christmas
Around Christmas 1914, a series of
widespread, unofficial cease-fires took
place along the Western Front. Some
100,000 men are reported to have been
involved.
Season’s greetings and songs were
exchanged across the barbed wire. British
and a few French troops fraternized with
German soldiers in No Man’s Land on
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. They
exchanged cigarettes, sang carols, shared
joint burials, and even played football.
Officers on both sides were not
amused. The Christmas truce was spontaneous. Perhaps headquarters on both
sides were to blame. They had drawn the
prospect of fraternization to their troops’
attention by forbidding it and threatening
those who disobeyed with execution.
There were those who obeyed. Platoon
Commander Charles de Gaulle expressed
total dismay at the socializing. And
young Corporal Adolf Hitler of the 16th
Bavarian Reserve Infantry made it clear
he would take no part whatsoever.

Mystery of $2 note folds solved
This month we are diverging once
again from the national banks format so
that I can present to you the solution to
a currency mystery that has mystified
me for more than a decade. Many of you
readers, especially currency dealers, may
have also been intrigued by this mystery,
and will appreciate finally knowing what
it was about.
I have been dealing in United States
currency for 20 years now, and over that
time I have not infrequently encountered
Series of 1899 $2 Silver Certificates
(Fr. 249-258), notes sometimes referred
to colloquially as “mini-portholes” or
“Washington in Cameo” types, that bore
the same mysterious heavy diagonal
folds that spread down from the top
margin of the note to join at a point just
below Washington’s bust. I have included
photos of typical type note of this series,
and that same note where I have superimposed the type of diagonal folds encountered on notes of this series.
I would not normally have been surprised to see folds on circulated notes of
this type, but over the years, I continued
to find, from time to time, more often
than to just be coincidental, notes with
the exact same diagonal fold pattern. I
began to examine them more closely, trying to figure out what the pattern would
produce once properly folded. This was
not easy, since I did not want to buy
the notes, and I did not want to be seen
folding up other dealers’ notes at their
tables. I have included a photo of a star
note of this series, featured in the recent
Lyn Knight Memphis Sale, that bears the
telltale folds.
I became fairly certain that once
properly folded, a design would emerge
that would reek of sexual innuendo. We
have all seen U.S. large cents with the
“E” in the word “CENT” altered so as to
produce a slang word for female sexual
organs. People are people, and when the
opportunity presents itself, people will
amuse their prurient interests in this
way. I recall, and many of you may recall
also, that as a boy we used to take a box
of Land O’Lakes butter, which has a
kneeling Indian woman on it, and with
clever use of scissors and specific folding, move her bare knees up to where her
breasts should be. It was very amusing to
pubescent boys.
40
In any event, the mystery surrounding
the Series of 1899 $2 notes continued
unabated until this past April, when I
literally stumbled upon the solution.
I was at a small coin show in western
Maryland, and as I approached the table
of a dealer friend, I spied an 1899 $2
Silver Certificate, neatly folded into a
triangle, sitting in the case. I was dumbfounded. I asked to see it, and gingerly
examined it. It was a beautiful original
fold job; the dealer told me it had walked
into his shop just that way. It wasn’t for
sale, but he didn’t mind my photographing it, which was just fine with me.
I present it to you here, photos of
both the face and back of the folded
note. You will easily see that both sides
clearly depict devices that are found
on the face of the note. Viewed propHotz/Page 42

Hotz/from Page 40
erly, the triangle is long point down.
Washington’s portrait is crowned by
the words “TWO SILVER DOLLARS,”
with two large numeral “2”s placed at
the two top points of the triangle.
The back of the folded note is carefully folded to have the two allegorical figures on the note, the male “Mechanics”
and female “Agriculture,” now seemingly joined together in some sort of
makeshift sexual position. This must
have been very amusing at the time, and
it was no common skill to accomplish
this careful currency origami.
Although I have seen more than several dozen of the Series 1899 $2 notes
unfolded but bearing the telltale folds
over the years, I had never seen, nor even
imagined, the finished product which I
located that day. Many thanks go to John
Senior for exhibiting this note and allowing me to photo it for this article. And so,
another currency mystery is solved.
