subscriptions@beckett.com The host also made much of the fact that the
coin’s 125,000 mintage sold out in less than an
hour—conveniently failing to mention that the
lion’s share went to dealers, who took advan-
tage of the Mint’s overly generous limit of 10
coins per household. Many of those coins are
still in those dealers’ inventories.
Now and then, I’ve also seen commercials—
apart from the shopping shows—breathlessly
offering “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunities to
pay good money for all-but-worthless color-
ized statehood quarters, base-metal Statue of
Liberty medals “generously layered” with five
cents worth of gold, and similar junk box
candidates—complete with healthy price tags.
Collectors who buy coins online do so not
only directly, but also in Internet auctions—
and these, too, can be hazardous to your
wealth. Scott A. Travers, a nationally known
coin dealer, author, and consumer advocate,
describes the dangers in his latest book, The
Coin Collector’s Survival Manual, Revised Sev-
enth Edition.
According to Travers, “Many online auction
companies, including the industry’s volume
leader, eBay, have taken a laissez-faire approach
to the business transacted under their apparent
aegis. These companies have maintained that
they are merely go-betweens, providing the
venue where online auctions occur, but having
no role in the actual sales—and they assume
little or no responsibility for anything unto-
ward that may occur.”
Some of the biggest scam artists practice their
dark art on the phone and in hotel rooms. Tele-
marketers often prey on the elderly, disarming
them with friendly conversation, then fleecing
them—sometimes of their life’s savings—by
inducing them to purchase overhyped, over-
graded and grossly overpriced coins.
Like spiders awaiting flies, itinerant coin buy-
ers travel from town to town, set up shop in
hotel rooms, advertise their presence and wait
for hapless victims. Their specialty is buying,
not selling, and they pay rock-bottom prices
for coins worth substantially more.
There are plenty of good ways to buy and sell
coins. Use your own road map, but try to avoid
the back alleys.

Market Report
TRUMP’S ELECTION GALVANIZES SALES OF HIGH-PRICED COINS
T
he Federal Reserve Board has sig-
naled that it will raise interest rates
several more times in the coming
months, and that prospect pushed gold
prices lower as 2016 gave way to 2017.
But what if 2017 is a repeat of 2016, when
the Fed backed away from an interest rate
hike until December and gold prices moved
up smartly for much of the year?
And even if the Fed does raise rates, gold
won’t necessarily go down—for gold has a
mind of its own. The last time the Fed raised
interest rates on a sustained basis, between
2004 and 2006, gold’s value rose 50 percent.
If we see rates raised again in that man-
ner, the federal government will have to
pay more—perhaps a lot more—for interest
service on the nation’s nearly $20 trillion
public debt. Our national debt was less than
half that level a decade ago.
President Donald Trump’s spending
plans—including a proposed trillion-dollar
infrastructure program—could push the
budget deficit above $1 trillion per year
again, just as it was in each of the four years
of Barack Obama’s first term.
Keep in mind, too, that global tensions are
growing. World leaders such as Russia’s Vlad-
imir Putin tend to test each new American
president early in his term. A case in point
was President John F. Kennedy, who autho-
rized the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of
Cuba soon after taking office. Its failure made
him look weak, so Soviet strongman Nikita
Khrushchev tested the young president by
shipping missiles to Cuba.
Remember, too, how the Soviets shot down
a commercial 747 airliner over Russian air-
space early in Ronald Reagan’s presidency.
Then, five months into George H.W. Bush’s
term, China cracked down on protesters in
Tiananmen Square. The toughest test of all
came early in George W. Bush’s first term with
the attack on America on Sept. 11, 2001.
We’ll see whether Donald Trump is ready
for “prime time” when Putin or China’s Xi
Jinping tests the new president early in his
8 www.coinagemag.com
term. There’s is also a tinhorn dictator in
North Korea who’s trying to reach our West
Coast with nuclear-tipped missiles. All this
comes on top of heartbreaking images of
refugees in Syria and threats throughout the
Middle East from ISIS and other extremists.
Gold is a proven “crisis hedge” when for-
eign conflicts erupt, so we could see a sharp
rise in gold prices when the new president
faces his first big external threat. Beyond
that, gold remains an “inflation hedge,” and
we’re seeing consumer and producer prices
rising at a 2-percent rate again. Trump’s
expansive spending plans could push the
rate of inflation even higher—so don’t count
on gold retreating in 2017.
Another important factor is that new
gold supplies from mining operations likely
peaked in 2015—though we won’t know the
full facts about 2016 until March. This could
create a supply squeeze on gold if demand
picks up in 2017.
With a slightly shrinking new supply and
the triple threat of inflation, deficits and
escalating foreign crises, the price of gold
could approach $1,400 by mid-2017.
Every January, collectors and dealers
small and large head south to sunny Florida
to attend the FUN Show, staged by the Flor-
ida United Numismatists. It is considered
one of the year’s top-tier conventions and
often sets an early tone for the coin market.
Small dealers bring coins there to sell to
larger ones, providing a natural restocking
process. And the show’s Heritage auction
is one of the largest and most anticipated
of the year.
This year’s FUN Show was held Jan. 5-8
in the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center.
Past shows had been held in Orlando and
Tampa, but it is now moving around due to
convention center availability.
The educational forums held at the FUN
Show are among the best each year, and
the helpful club members, sporting Florida
by Mike Fuljenz
Gator-orange jackets, can’t be beat. The FUN
organization also now sponsors and hosts the
annual Numismatic Ambassadors breakfast.
I am often asked what dealers are getting
the most calls about. In December, most col-
lectors are focused on holiday gift-giving, so
silver American Eagles and Royal Canadian
Mint silver coins are in demand. I remember
when I first started helping the local dealer
in my hometown in the early 1970s, holiday
Franklin Mint silver and copper rounds in
greeting cards and holiday-themed silver
bars were popular.
As we enter 2017, I expect demand to
continue for coins with something special.
That could be blast luster or a needle-sharp
strike or a paucity of bag marks on key focal
points. Key-date and historical coins are
always in demand. For example, many deal-
ers find it hard to keep 1794- to 1796-dated
silver and gold coins in stock, even in lower
grades.
Key 1870-CC double eagles in any grade
seldom last long in inventory. Silver coins
with original, attractive toning are popu-
lar. Spectacularly toned examples can bring
multiples of what an untoned coin in the
same grade would sell for. This is especially
noteworthy with Morgan dollars and silver
commemoratives.
Coins in popular collector series at or
near the scarce end of the PCGS and NGC
population reports can trigger fierce bidding
at auctions, and bring large premiums over
the same type coin graded just a fraction of a
point lower. This is true in part due to rarity,
but also in part to collectors wanting to have
the top-rated PCGS or NGC registry sets.

lion in Beaumont, Texas, is a leading coin expert

 What’s Hot in 2017

DEALERS PREDICT
THE BEST SELLERS
FOR THE YEAR
by Joshua McMorrow-
Hernandez

T
he year 2016 seems to have been
a transitional period for the
coin hobby.
The United States Mint pro-
duced the last installments of
the decade-long Presidential $1 coins and
First Spouse gold coins, and a new dollar
coin series honoring innovations and inno-
vators from each of the 50 states has been
pitched in Congress.
As sales figures for hallmark annual prod-
ucts such as uncirculated sets and proof sets
continued long-term slides, the Mint hosted
a one-day forum in Philadelphia to discuss
the future health of the hobby. The event
was attended by top-level Mint executives
and more than 80 high-profile coin experts,
dealers, and hobbyists.
Meanwhile, several headlining auctions in
2016 saw a handful of major rarities change
hands. Among these was an 1894-S Barber
dime graded Proof-66 by the Professional
Coin Grading Service (PCGS) -66 and stick-
ered by the Certified Acceptance Corpora-
tion (CAC).
It sold at the Heritage Auctions sale at
the Florida United Numismatists (FUN)
annual convention in Tampa, Florida, for
$1,997,500 in January 2016. It was the high-
est price ever paid for an 1894-S Barber dime
and represented one of the most expensive
coin transactions of the year.

broken on a regular basis.
The third and fourth installments of the
D. Brent Pogue Collection sale were held in
February and May, respectively. The third
event saw the finest surviving circulation-
strike 1793 Chain American cent, graded
MS-65 Red-Brown by PCGS, fetch $998,750.
Yet, two lots in the fourth Pogue auction
made headlines because they didn’t sell. The
Sultan of Muscat 1804 Draped Bust dol-
lar and 1822 Capped Head Left half eagle,
two coins whose Pogue auction appearances
were long awaited in the numismatic com-
munity, failed to meet their undisclosed
(though likely $10 million-plus) reserves.
Still, while auction results are noteworthy,
they don’t necessarily gauge the overall state
of the coin market. After all, most hobbyists
aren’t bidding on “trophy coins.” In fact,
according to coin expert Scott A. Travers,
the price-point threshold many hobbyists
believe defines an “unaffordable” coin is now
$3,000, which is down from $10,000 before
the Great Recession.
It also didn’t help that 2016 was pock-
marked with unsettling socio-political news
both in the United States and abroad. That
has only helped to perpetuate the economic
uncertainty gripping most Americans for
nearly a decade now. All of this helped make
the first months of 2016 relatively slow for
the rare coin market.
JOHN BRUSH
Yet, many dealers interviewed for this
article noticed that activity started picking
March 2017
up in the last months of 2016. They speculate
whether or not the end of the contentious
presidential election has had something to
do with it.
Overall, many dealers collectively believe
there will be growth in the rare coin market
in 2017. This could provide a much-needed
spark for several long-popular coin series
that have cooled off in recent years. Those
undervalued coins could represent excellent
buying opportunities in the coming year if
the coin market grows in ’17 as some dealers
interviewed here foresee.
What’s hot, and what’s not? What follows is
this year’s expert analysis.
“Donald Trump’s election as president
has brought some expected and unexpected
changes to the numismatic market,” says Mi-
chael Fuljenz, president of Universal Coin &
Bullion in Beaumont, Texas.
“The prices for gold and silver have
dropped since the November election,
despite many experts’ expecting it to rise,”
Fuljenz notes.
“Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s election
has triggered a resurgence in and for many
power coins or, as some say, ‘big boy toys.’”
One “major dealer” in Texas, he says, sold
all eight of the $50 American Eagle gold
coins in his inventory in the days following
the election. “Another major California deal-
er told me he has seen a dramatic increase
in demand for coins with a price tag over
$100,000,” he adds.
“When I was a young collector, I dreamed
of someday owning a $4 Stella, an 1870-CC
double eagle, an 1804 silver dollar, or a $50
Panama-Pacific gold coin,” Fuljenz recalls.
“It seems others with those dreams, with
capital, are acting on those desires now.”
Fuljenz says these changes seem to be man-
ifested in a “surge of high-end numismatic
sales” that was unusual for December, when
he was interviewed for this article.
“There is a sense of optimism growing in
business owners and collectors I talk to that
business and income will generally improve.”
John Brush, president of David Lawrence
Rare Coins in Virginia Beach, Virginia, re-
ports an uptick in market activity during the
last few months of 2016 that has helped “sta-
bilize” what had previously been a weak rare
coin market.
“We’re seeing stability across the board,”
he says.
Still, some areas are performing better than
others, and Brush says there are at least two
areas currently undervalued: Barber coinage
and proof type coins.
“Barber dimes, Barber quarters, and Bar-
ber half dollars are weak as a whole,” Brush
reports. “Meanwhile, late-1800s proof coins
have softer prices than you would expect for
rare coins such as those. Many of them are
just floating on the market.”
STACK’S BOWERS
The 1804 Class I silver dollar was offered dur-
ing the fourth installment of the D. Brent Pogue
Collection sale on May 24, 2016, but ultimately
did not meet its undisclosed reserve.
Continued on page 14

 Continued from page 11
Why is the type market softer?
“We’ve seen a bunch of collectors over the
years build sets, and now they’re finally sell-
ing them, but there are fewer people who are
looking to buy those coins.”
Another area Brush thinks might be “fairly
weak” consists of gold commemoratives.
“There were a couple telemarketers who
sold them and helped run prices up. Once
they ended their programs, prices plummet-
ed,” he relates. “We’ve seen an adjustment in
prices to about where they should be.”
Meanwhile, Brush says silver commemora-
tives remain strong sellers for David Law-
rence Rare Coins.
“Many dealers don’t talk much about silver
commemoratives, but our buyers like them a
lot. They’re an area where you can buy really
nice coins even in higher grades for good
prices.”
Brush believes softer bullion prices could
help create more buzz in the rare coin mar-
ket.
“There’s always a bullion factor,” he says.
“When bullion is hot, rare coins tend to tag
along. Bullion will eventually pick up, and
as the economy improves, so do rare coins.”
No matter how well the market shapes up
in 2017, Brush suggests this pearl of wis-
dom for collectors: “Ultimately, poor-quality
coins don’t sell as well. If a coin is nice, it
will sell.”
Michael O’Higgins, president of Go-
brecht Numismatics in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, has been a dealer since 1974. Over
the years, he has seen several ups and downs

value since their market boom highs in the late 1980s.

According to John Albanese, the Capped Bust half dollar is strong on the market as a series going
into 2017.
in the coin market, but he suggests many of
the classics continue to hold their own, even
during trying economic times.
“The strongest area of the market is in
silver dollars,” O’Higgins says. “It seems
everyone collects them. Much of my cus-
tomer base is built on buyers 55 and up who
remember collecting silver dollars when they
were younger. Many of them recall buying
them from banks for $1 each back then, or
buying them from dealers for $2 or $3 each.”
O’Higgins says many of those buying Mor-
gan dollars from him these days are indi-
viduals who have had incomplete collections
for years and are finally finishing them off,
one key coin at a time.
“I’ve been selling pieces such as 1889-CC
and 1893-CC dollars,” he says. “Many people
can’t afford BU’s [Brilliant Uncirculated
coins], so they end up buying circulated
coins that cost $300, $400 or $500.”
Morgan dollars aren’t the only area of
activity for O’Higgins.
“I’m also seeing strength among $20 Saints,”
he says, referring to $20 Saint-Gaudens gold
double eagles.
“With gold down, these coins are 10 to
15 percent cheaper now than they were
a few years ago. I’ve seen folks buying
Liberty Head $20s, too, but more with the
Saints, because it’s much easier and cheaper
to complete a set of Saints than Liberty
Heads.”
While large silver and gold coins from
yesteryear are moving quickly for O’Higgins,
there is at least one group of coins that isn’t:
modern coins.
“I’ve seen a lot of moderns plummet in
value,” he reports. “It’s an artificial market
because the coins are advertised as limited
editions with low mintages, but when peo-
ple go to sell them, there’s nobody buying
them—there’s no secondary market.”
O’Higgins says despite the ups and downs
of the past year, situations improved for him
as business wrapped up for 2016.
“Since the election, I think people are look-
ing to buy rare coins again,” he says. “We’ll
have to see what happens with economic
policy over the next couple years.
“Whatever happens, there will be an
impact. There are some people excited about
some of [Donald] Trump’s platform, and this
could be good for the long-term market.”
Still, O’Higgins cautions that the road
ahead might not be all rosy.
“If Trump fails, then this could have a
major negative impact on the market, too.”

The 1893-CC Morgan dollar is one of several Morgan dollar key dates popular among Michael
O’Higgins’ customers.
Scott A. Travers, whose earlier remarks
in this article suggest that buyers have low-
ered the bar on what is considered “unafford-
able,” says changes in the marketplace over
the past several years spilled over into 2016
and might in 2017, too.
“We’re seeing few collectors of type coins
in the $3,000 to $25,000 range,” Travers says.
“The threshold for what’s affordable and not
has lowered in the past few years,” he says,
noting price resistance at lower figures now.
“It was $10,000 a couple years back, and then
that fell to $5,000—now it’s $3,000, which is
the price of the new ‘not affordable.’”
He says that’s an even lower “unaffordable”
figure than during the late 1980s. “Back then,
during the [market] boom, many middle-
income people were buying $7,000 to $9,000
type coins.”
Travers, author of multiple books such as
The Coin Collector’s Survival Manuel, Revised
7th Edition (House of Collectibles), says a
long-term sour economy has pushed many
individuals out of the coin market. Now,
fewer buyers mean lower prices, but this isn’t
necessarily a bad thing for those who are
looking to enjoy some great deals.
“There are many opportunities in the type
market,” Travers says. “People are starting to
dabble in the type coins because the price
drop has been so dramatic.
“As prices continue to come down,” he
adds, “we’re going to see more deals for type
coins grading Proof-66, Proof-67—coins
that went up during the market boom.
“There’s a spark of interest in these,” he
declares.
March 2017
Even Travers himself is jumping on high-
end type coins while the prices are low.
“I’ve even used the opportunity to enrich
my own collection,” he says.
Among his recent type purchases is a
PCGS MS-67+ 1880 Liberty Seated quarter.
“It’s the finest quarter I’ve ever seen or
handled, with the finest toning I’ve ever seen,
in my entire career.”
Travers didn’t disclose the price he paid
for his terrific classic-type trophy, but hinted
he bought it for a minute fraction of the
$50-grand-plus price he would have paid
for the same coin at the height of the market
several years ago.
“It’s a coin I’ll always enjoy,” he says. “It’s
one I’ll never sell at any price.”
In addition to classic type coins, Travers says
he’s seeing more activity among vintage com-
memorative coins dated 1892 through 1954.
This 1894-S Barber dime, graded Proof 66 by PCGS and approved by the CAC, commanded
$1,997,500 at the Heritage Auction sale in Tampa, Florida, in January 2016. It represents one of the
most expensive coin transactions of the year.
“You have commemorative coins that were
selling for a few thousand dollars at one
point and are now selling for only $150 or
$200,” he says.
As with other classic coins, having fewer
buyers of commemorative coins translates
to lower prices for those who remain in the
market.”
“Coins going down in value means there
are tremendous opportunities for buyers,”
Travers observes.
If the base of collectors is stagnant, what
might help to heat up the coin market in
2017?
“Many people look at the gold bullion
market and get excited when prices go up,”
Travers remarks. “If we see gold hit $2,000
or $2,500, we could see many folks rushing
back into the market.”
The year 2017 brings with it new political
changes in the United States at a time when
pockets of the world are experiencing terror-
ism, war and other forms of violence.
“The world is a dangerous place now,”
Travers says, “and we’re entering an era with
a new president who has unproven gov-
erning ability, so there’s uncertainty in the
economy.”
He says higher inflation and higher interest
rates might follow.
“Gold could hit $2,000—and if that hap-
pens, the rare coin market will turn right
around.”

Corporation of America (NGC) in 1987 and
20 years later established the CAC, is opti-
mistic about where the rare coin market is
going in 2017.
“It seems that since the contentious elec-
tion is out of the way, the dollar is stronger,”
he reports. “This has hurt metals a bit, but
I’m seeing an uptick in demand for rare
coins again.”
Albanese says that long-range economic
indicators such as a strong stock market,
a robust dollar and other signs of growth
in the economy are far more useful for
determining the direction in which the coin
market is going than the fluctuation of bul-
lion prices.
“We’ve been in the doldrums for the past
couple years,” he says, “but now I know some
wealthier folks who are excited about tax
cuts and a stronger economy, and they are
poised to buy.”
Among Albanese’s picks for growth in 2017
are the classics.
“The whole Bust half dollar series is very
strong right now,” he notes. “You can buy a
really nice coin from the early 19th century
for less than $100—and this is a series that
spans 30 years.”
Another area of strength, according to
Albanese, is a perennially honored 20th-
century half dollar.
“The Walking Liberty half dollars are
always a favorite with buyers, and I see them
doing really well right now.”
According to Albanese, there’s strength
across the board.
“You can throw a dart just about anywhere
and probably do well,” he says. “It looks like
the rare coin market is coming back.”
Classic commemorative coins dated 1892 through 1954, like the 1936
Delaware Tercentenary half dollar, are trading for a fraction of their late
1980s values, meaning they’re affordable bargains for coin collectors in
PCGS
2017.

John Brush, John Feigenbaum and others
suggest Barber coinage is weak on the market
now and undervalued, meaning bargains for
collectors who want to jump onboard with the
Barber dime, Barber quarter, or Barber half dol-
lar series in 2017.
John Feigenbaum, a managing partner
overseeing the venerable industry-pricing
guide known as Coin Dealer Newsletter
(CDN), believes that the bullion price fluc-
tuations over the past year might not have
brought as many people into the numis-
matic side of the coin arena as some might
expect.
“From my perspective, it’s been a two-tier
market,” he says.
“People who buy bullion coins buy bullion,
and people who prefer rare coins will buy
rare coins,” he remarks. “I’ve seen little cross-
over between the bullion market and rare
coin market. When gold is down $50, I don’t
see a big change in the rare coin market.”
Feigenbaum says the bullion and rare coin
markets are distinct.
“Rare coins are a different animal,” he com-
ments. “Buyers who purchase rare half eagles
and eagles don’t pay attention to the bullion
Precious metals have taken center stage particularly over the past
couple years, helping improve demand for bullion coins such as
the American Silver Eagle.
market.”
On that note, he points to better-date gold
coins being “very strong” now.
As for where the market stands today?
“I think we’ve hit the bottom with rare coin
prices and we’ll see things improve in 2017.”
His observations are based in part on what
he’s hearing from dealers.
“They’re saying it’s getting hard to buy rare
coins.”
Still, there’s room for improvement as the
rare coin industry wakes up after what could
be summed up as a multi-year economic
hibernation.
“If gold bullion settled to $800 or $900,
dealers could advertise double eagles in
magazines for $999, which is an appealing
price for average consumers. Seeing gold
at $1,100 an ounce is such an odd price
point.”
Overall, Feigenbaum says the market “is
healthy” and has a bright horizon for the
months ahead.
“The market has a good foundation and,
if anything, it will grow in 2017. Buyers can
be opportunistic and buy coins cheaper now
than they could’ve 10 years ago.”
He says many classic coins are undervalued
now—“especially the minor series ranging
from half cents through half dollars. They’re
underappreciated.”
According to Feigenbaum, there are poten-
tially endless opportunities among a range
of series.
“Bust dimes, ‘Mercury’ dimes, Barber
quarters—take your pick.”
Ultimately, he says, collectors need to go
with their hearts and their guts.
“You’ve got to buy what you like.”

A Celebration of Coinage

The first U.S. Mint, in Philadelphia, opened in 1792. Today, the Mint operates a large, modern facility in Phila-
delphia, as well as similar operations in Denver, San Francisco, and West Point.

The U.S. Mint Marks its 225th Anniversary with Special Programs
by Louis Golino

M
ints love anniversaries and often use them as vehicles for promoting their coins, and the U.S. Mint is no exception.
For example, the Mint issued special anniversary Silver and Gold American Eagle sets in 1995 and 2006 and silver-only sets in
2011, 2012 and 2013.
Given this history, many collectors were surprised that the Mint barely took notice in 2016 of the 30th anniversary of the American Silver
Eagle and did nothing for the 30th anniversary of the American Gold Eagle, or the 10th birthday of the American Buffalo gold coin last year.
As for the Gold Buffalo anniversary, the Mint released a reverse proof version in 2013 for the 100th anniversary of the introduction of the
Buffalo nickel, whose design is replicated on the gold coin.
The only thing done for the Silver Eagle’s 30th anniversary was incused edge lettering applied to the proof and burnished uncirculated coins
that noted the special occasion, as required by congressional legislation passed in late 2015.
Some collectors like the edge lettering, which makes those coins one-year types, while others were underwhelmed or found it hard to see,
since the lettering is rather faint.
But in 2017, when the Mint celebrates its 225th anniversary, the occasion will be marked by the issuance of a one-ounce, 24-karat high-relief
PUBLIC DOMAIN

Liberty-themed gold coin and a silver medal, as well as the first-ever enhanced uncirculated coin set, and possibly other products, too.
The U.S. Mint was created by the Coinage Act of April 2, 1792, and the first Mint building located in Philadelphia, the nation’s first capital,
was also was the first federal building created.

20 www.coinagemag.com COINage
 The design of the 2017-W $100 American Liberty high-relief gold coin features a profile of a young African-American woman as Lady
Liberty on its obverse and an American eagle in flight on its reverse. A companion silver medal will also be issued in 2017.

Today, the Mint’s headquarters is in Wash-
ington, D.C., and it operates coin produc-
tion facilities in Philadelphia, Denver, San
Francisco and West Point, New York. It pro-
duces circulating coinage, bullion coins and
numismatic coins and medals.
Forum in Philadelphia
On Oct. 13, 2016, the Mint held a forum in
Philadelphia, which brought together Mint
officials, collectors, dealers, coin grading
companies, the numismatic press and other
stakeholders to discuss how the Mint can
better achieve its many functions.
During the forum, participants were
assigned to one of seven working groups that
focused on these issues: packaging, mint-
ages and household ordering limits, medals,
customer engagement, working with youth,
reproduction of classic designs and what
series will follow the America the Beautiful
quarter series.
How Mint officials handle these issues over
the course of 2017 and beyond, and the
extent to which they implement the many
useful suggestions made at the forum, will
shape not only the Mint’s future but also
in many ways the future of modern U.S.
numismatics.
There was a 10.2-percent decline in the
Mint’s revenue from numismatic programs
in Fiscal Year 2015 (though there was an
increase in profits of 31.5 percent, accord-
ing to the 2015 annual report), while bul-
lion sales have been robust (with revenue
increasing 17.2 percent over the same peri-
od). Income from seigniorage has increased
greatly due to the higher number of circulat-
ing coins issued.
The Mint’s customer base is shrinking and
is mostly composed of older, white males,
with more than half over age 65 in 2015.
Issues facing the Mint
These trends underscore how important it
is for the Mint to better promote its brand
and products; to reach out to various demo-
graphic groups, especially youth; to produce
more coins that collectors want with designs
they find compelling; and to implement poli-
cies and technologies that give the average
collector a fair shot at ordering high-profile
coins.
With respect to the first issue, the Mint
should resume advertising in coin publica-
tions and websites as well as in the general
media, since so few people outside the hobby
even know about most of its coin programs.
The second goal involves finding ways to
get children interested in coins, since most
serious collectors started out during their
youth. Forum participants had many sugges-
tions in this area, such as placing a limited
number of silver coins in circulation and
developing more products aimed at young
people.

t The 2016-W American Silver Eagle proof coin

has incused edge lettering noting the 30th anniver-
sary of the program. Congress passed legislation in
US MINT

December 2015 requiring that collector versions of the

2016 coins have this feature.

March 2017 21
In 2017, the U.S. Mint will issue a
series of three commemorative
coins to mark the centennial of
Boys Town, including this silver
dollar. Initial reception to the
design of these coins from col-
lectors has been mixed.
The third point is especially relevant to the
commemorative coin program, which has
seen steadily declining sales in recent years.
Collectors have not been especially inter-
ested in the themes of many recent issues,
nor have they been fans of a lot of the designs
on those coins—with some exceptions, such
as the 2014 baseball coins.
A major problem is that the program is
driven by special interests within congressio-
nal districts that lobby to have coins issued
to honor organizations in their states, limit-
ing the issuance of coins with themes of
national and historic importance.
There are some encouraging programs on
the horizon, such as the 2018 World War I
Veterans’ Centennial coin program, which is
expected to be very popular, and the recently
approved 2019 Apollo 11 Moon landing 50th
anniversary coins.
As for artwork, the Mint is in the process of
creating modern representations of Liberty
that provide a new take on the leading motif
of classic U.S. coinage.
At the same time, there continues to be
great interest in reusing the classic designs of
our past, and forum participants suggested
doing things such as issuing circulating coins
with those designs.
As for the fourth issue, the Mint has made
some progress in recent years in reducing the
stampedes that typically occur when high-
profile coins are launched. But it continues
to receive widespread complaints from col-
lectors unable to get their orders through
when a product sells out in minutes. And
that means it is essential to set mintage levels
and ordering limits appropriately.
For example, in 2016 there was broad agree-
22 www.coinagemag.com
ment that the household limit of 10 coins for
the centennial gold “Mercury” dime was too
high, making it easier for dealers to obtain
large quantities and ensuring an instant sell-
out. By contrast, the initial limit of one per
household coupled with a maximum mintage
of 100,000 for the centennial gold Standing
Liberty quarter made a sellout of that coin
unlikely, even after the limit was lifted.
Finally, the maximum mintage of 70,000
for the gold Walking Liberty half dollar was
widely considered too high, given the more
expensive issue price of that half-ounce coin,
though the household limit of three seemed
about right.
It is, of course, difficult to get these matters
right and to please everyone, but by solicit-
ing the opinions of collectors and dealers,
as the Mint did at the forum, and perhaps
by creating a numismatic advisory board, as
some forum participants suggested, the Mint
could enjoy more consistent success.
Another topic covered at the forum was
what coin series should replace the America
the Beautiful series, which is scheduled to
end in 2021. The group assigned to this area
suggested a multi-year series of circulating
Kennedy half dollars with changing revers-
es—an interesting idea that would depart
from the practice of the last 15 years of mak-
ing those coins only for collectors.
In addition, the presidential dollar series
ended in 2016, and there is pending legisla-
tion to create a new non-circulating dollar
coin series focused on innovators and inno-
vation in each state. And Native American
dollars will continue to be produced for
collectors.
During the forum in Philadelphia, Mint
officials also released a tentative product
schedule for Fiscal Years 2017 and 2018 of
its main numismatic products for those two
years.
Collectors find such information useful,
since it helps them plan and budget for their
purchases. In 2016, the Mint did not provide
release dates for many of the higher-profile
products until late in the year.
The two commemorative coin programs
for 2017 mark the centennials of Lions Club
and Boys Town. Their designs were released
during 2016. While the chosen designs cer-
tainly do convey the important social work
both entities perform, initial reaction to the
coins from collectors has been mixed.
On Nov. 9, a ceremonial strike was held for
the Lions Club silver dollar in Philadelphia.
Anniversary centerpiece
The highlight of the Mint’s plans to mark
its 225th anniversary is the second entry in its
series of $100 American Liberty high-relief
one-ounce gold coins and accompanying
silver medals—continuing a program that
began in 2015.
The 2017 gold issue is the first to feature an
African-American woman as Lady Liberty.
The new Liberty program explicitly aims
to promote the issuance of coins that show
modern images of liberty that represent the
diversity of modern America, rather than
using the Greco-Roman imagery of classic
Liberty designs—an approach suggested by
the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.
“The CCAC wanted to see a variety of
designs that included busts of Liberty, as well
as Liberty sitting and standing,” said Roger
US MINT
Vasquez, program manager of the Mint’s
COINage

Office of Design Management.
“During the concept discussion meeting,
the CCAC emphasized creating a modern
Liberty that reflects the nation’s diversity.”
The committee chose designs by Justin
Kunz and Paul Balan, participants in the
Mint’s Artistic Infusion Program.
“To portray Lady Liberty as a modern
figure, rather than a traditional one, proved a
bit more difficult in practice than it sounded
in theory,” Kunz said.
“It required a lot of studying, sketching
and meditating about what Lady Liberty
represents, what it is that defines our time
from past eras and how these ideas might be
distilled down to a simple visual statement
that could be expressed in an elegant way.”
The 2017 gold coin, based on a test strike
shown to members of the CCAC last year,
has edge lettering noting the 225th anniver-
sary.
The original plan was to issue both the
2015 gold coin and silver medal with the
same design that year, but the medal was
delayed until 2016 and no gold coin was
issued in 2016.
The 2015 gold coin’s obverse design was
initially the object of strong criticism as
being both unattractive and politically cor-
rect.
The reverse of that coin shows a flying eagle
that is reminiscent of those that appeared on
the Gobrecht dollar and was recommended
by the CCAC as a new reverse for the Ameri-
can Silver Eagle, but the Mint opted not to
do that.
The Mint eventually sold out the entire
mintage of 50,000 2015 gold coins, which
US MINT
suggests that plenty of people in fact liked

the design.
By the time the 2016 silver medals bear-
ing the same design appeared, opinion had
warmed so much that the design was broadly
viewed as a great work of medallic art that
depicts the two most iconic motifs of Ameri-
can numismatics: Liberty and the bald eagle.
Part of the shift in sentiment is related to
the fact that the medals are proof, while the
gold coins are business strike, and the design
in high relief looks so much better in a proof
format. That is why high-relief coins by other
mints typically are struck in proof.
The 2017 design could go through the same
evolution, depending on how it looks on the
high-relief gold piece and silver medal.
As for the medals, the Mint has indicated
it is considering issuing a four-piece set of
them in 2017, each with a different finish
(proof, reverse proof, enhanced uncirculated
and likely business strike or burnished uncir-
culated) and mint mark (from Philadelphia,
Denver, San Francisco and West Point).
The impetus for issuing four versions could
be the fact that the 2016 silver medals sold
out in about five minutes, which had a lot
to do with their mintage being set much too
low at 20,000 units.
The Mint also plans to issue the first
enhanced uncirculated coin set as part of its
225th anniversary releases, but no details are
yet available on what that set will include. It
might be the same as the regular mint sets
issued each year but with each coin struck
with an enhanced uncirculated finish, as was
used on the 2013-W West Point 75th anni-
versary Silver Eagle as well as on the 2014-D,
2015-W and 2016-S Native American dol-
lars, and some commemorative issues.
The other commemorative coin
program for 2017 will mark the
centennial of the Lions Club and
will include the release of this
silver dollar.
Both the gold coin and the silver medals are
planned for the third quarter of the fiscal year,
which runs from April 1 to June 30, while the
enhanced set is planned for the fourth quar-
ter, or between July 1 and Sept. 30.
Other programs
Another high-profile product for 2017 is
the 20th anniversary American Platinum
Eagle proof coin, which will feature the
design of the bullion version of this coin that
has been used since 1997.
Collectors have indicated they would have
preferred something more imaginative for
this anniversary issue, but considering how
well platinum proof coins have sold in recent
years, there probably will be solid demand
for it.
In addition to all these products, there
will of course also be the usual products
issued each year, such as proof and mint
sets, America the Beautiful quarters and five-
ounce silver issues and the American Gold
and Silver Eagles in proof and burnished
uncirculated finishes.
Finally, though not included in the tenta-
tive 2017 schedule, the Mint also expects to
release the first American Palladium Eagle
this year.
This will undoubtedly be a busy 225th anni-
versary year for the Mint and another expen-
sive one for collectors.
Planned programs for 2018 include, among
others, a San Francisco reverse proof coin
set, a new series of proof American Plati-
num Eagles and commemoratives for breast
cancer awareness (including the first-ever
pink gold U.S. coin), in addition to those for

 Collecting Vintage Coin Supplies
Yesteryear’s Coin Supplies Are
TODAY’S COLLECTIBLES
David Lange published Coin Collecting Boards of the 1930s & 1940s: A Complete History,
Catalog, and Value Guide to help coin collectors learn more about classic coin boards.
by Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez
Coin collecting isn’t just about buying old and rare coins these
days. Many hobbyists have begun exploring an entirely new av-
enue that doesn’t even involve coins at all.
Rather, they’re collecting vintage examples of the very products
in which they store their coins, including old “penny boards,” clas-
sic coin albums and coin folders, and even antique coin cabinets.
Why are some hobbyists focusing their attention on old coin
holders?
For many, it’s the realization that these old coin storage products
are becoming rare and valuable. Others are buying these retro
products for the nostalgic kicks and reliving their younger years,
when collecting coins meant pulling Lincoln wheat cents, Buffalo
nickels and “Mercury” dimes from pocket change and snapping
them into cardboard panels bearing manufacturer names such as
DAVID W. LANGE

Co.” or “Meghrig.”

coin expert David W. Lange, author of A Complete History &
Catalog of Coin Collecting Albums, Volume I: The National Coin
Album & Related Products of Beistle, Raymond & Meghrig.
Over the decades, Lange’s collection of cardboard coin stor-
age products has grown to encompass more than 10,000 items,
including an M.L. Beistle Unique Coin Holder from 1927, the
forerunner of the coin boards, folders and albums to come.
“Coin boards had long been out of production when I encoun-
tered my first one,” Lange says. “One of the local coin clubs to
which I belonged in California put on an annual fun-raising sale
of numismatic book donations, and it was at one of those events
that I saw and bought my first coin board.
“It was the early 1980s, and the board is what I would later
catalog as a Whitman Third Edition board for Lincoln Cents
1909-1940, but it cost me just $5 or so, and I found it charming.”
Lange found many other old coin boards charming, too.
By the end of the 1980s, his collection of vintage penny boards
swelled to dozens of pieces—later, thousands.
COINage
 “Most people understood the fun,” he says, “and the coin shop
owners were usually happy to sell me something that they’d
otherwise be tossing into the trash after removing the coins. I
encountered very few dealers who were sentimental about the
hobby’s history.”
Lange knew there were at least a few others out there who
enjoyed old coin boards as much as he, but just how many?
“There was no way to measure the size of the hobby until my
book [Coin Collecting Boards of the 1930s & 1940s: A Complete
History, Catalog and Value Guide] was published in 2007,” he says.
“After the book was published, I decided to use my mailing
list to sell the 1,000-plus duplicate boards I’d acquired during
my years of cataloging. It was then that I found out how many
persons were actively seeking additional pieces,” he recalls.
“I’d say there were about 40 active buyers at the beginning,
but the recession of 2008-09 saw a lot of persons drop out of the
hobby. By that time, I was firmly established as a part-time dealer
in coin boards, so I ended up buying some of them out after a
couple of years.”
Lange says the coin board evolved into the more widely recog-
nized coin folder during the late 1930s and early 1940s.
“Whitman has long claimed that the coin folder was invented
by its numismatic marketing head, Richard Yeo (whose ubiqui-
tous pen name, R.S. Yeoman, is seen on every cover of A Guide
Book of United States Coins, or the Red Book), but that’s revisionist
history. The first coin folders were published by the Daniel Stamp
Company (Dansco) in late 1939.”
Another Los Angeles publisher, J. Oberwise and Company,
added folders to its line of full-size coin boards in 1940. However,
those early folders didn’t look much like the tri-folding products
many younger collectors now know.
“Both brands had just two pages,
and their folders were essentially
11-by-14-inch boards folded in two
and using the backing paper as a
hinge,” Lange relates. “In fact, before
Joe Oberwise could put these into
production, he simply placed arrows
on the left and right sides of each
full-size board to denote where the
backing was to be slit with a knife for
self-folding by the customer!”
Whitman might not have invented
the first coin folder, but the long-
standing numismatic publisher made
critical modifications to those early
coin boards.
“Whitman improved upon both
WIKIMEDIA COMMONS
format used today for all brands of coin folders.”
The hobby’s boom in popularity during the late 1950s brought
many new coin folder brands to the fore.
“The peak years,” Lange says, “were 1958 through 1964, when
there were some two dozen publishers, several of them offering
two or more distinctive lines of folders and/or albums.”
He says that was a period when one could buy coin boards and
coin folders virtually everywhere, including newsstands, grocery
stores and gas stations.
Lange says many of the collectible products from the 1960s
were from so-called “wildcat publishers,” whose folders and al-
bums dropped from the scene in 1965. That’s when the widespread
appeal of the hobby foundered as the United States Mint started
producing copper-nickel clad coinage, temporarily removed mint
marks from coins and halted sales of traditional proof sets and
mint sets.
In general, Lange says coin boards, albums and folders from the
1930s through the pre-1965 coin boom represent the most widely
collected products.
“Anything made during that period through the 1960s is
immensely collectible, though most [products] are not yet appre-
ciated and bring very modest prices.”
Lange says many Whitman, Dansco and Oberwise folders from
the 1940s can be bought for under $10, but they’re very rare in
clean condition.
“At the present time, people just don’t seem to see the potential
value. National coin albums bring strong prices when found
without writing or damage, but the market for them is divided
between collectors of coins and those seeking the albums as col-

Anthony died in 1906 at age
86—14 years before the 19th Amendment

to symbolize the fight for equality at the
ballot box for millions of American women.
In 1979, Anthony became the first woman
other than Lady Liberty to have her likeness

where she is buried in historic Mount Hope

Anthony was raised in the Quaker tra-
dition of morality and social justice, and
began collecting antislavery petitions at the
age of 16.
She became a social reformer and crusad-
ed for causes such as temperance. But her
fight for a woman’s right to vote was crystal-
lized in the presidential election of 1872.
Anthony and 14 other women appeared at
a polling station in Rochester’s Eighth Ward

fine. And she swore to “never pay a dollar
of your unjust penalty.”
This was not inconsequential. Money had

The Susan B. Anthony dollar features an
unusual 11-sided inner border inside the
outer rim of the coin, which has a reeded
edge. The coin is only slightly larger (2.2
millimeters) than the quarter and struck
from the same copper-nickel composition.
Many people confused the two, and the
Anthony dollar soon fell out of favor as a
circulating coin.
Business-strike Anthony dollars were
minted from 1979 to 1981 and again in

also called the “clear-S” variety, is the series’
most expensive coin and goes for $100 or
more in gem condition.
The 1979 wide-rim variety, on which the
date is closer to the coin’s edge, is also more
valued by collectors.
The United States Dollar Coin Act of 1997
mandated that Susan B. Anthony dollars be

an you remember the big events of 2002?
It’s a tough question, isn’t it?
For most people, especially Americans, the terrorist attacks of the previous Sept. 11
overshadowed anything the year 2002 could possibly offer. Many of the biggest news stories of
2002 were directly linked to Sept. 11, 2001.
The United States military quickly crushed the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan and was poised to
pursue new targets of retribution.
Meanwhile, Russia suffered its own terrorist nightmare and natural disasters struck many parts
of the world.
In the smaller realm of numismatics, there were some very big developments during 2002.
The world’s most expensive coin was sold at auction, government agents were trying to solve the
mystery of the $1.25 “mule” coin and the hobby was gaining tens of thousands of new devotees

Afghanistan was only the beginning of the country’s war against terrorism.

Terrorism dominated U.S. news reports

Analysis of the Sept. 11 attacks and specu-

to do about them preoccupied the American
media.

It’s not the kind of policy a president wants
to lay out in so many words. It is, however,
a doctrine that sends a clear message to the

COIN CAPSULE: 2002
In the popular 50 State Quarters Program, 2002 coins were issued for Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana and Mississippi.

sands of dollars.
Nobody at the U.S. Mint or in the coin
hobby could figure out how it had happened.
But by 2002, many people were growing sus-
picious because at least 10 of the rare coins
had been discovered and identified.
There was some buzz that the Secret Service
might move to confiscate the $1.25 coins.
After intense investigation, two former
Philadelphia Mint employees were charged
with selling some of the mule coins to deal-
ers and collectors.
Meanwhile, New Mexico coin collector
Tommy Bolack had managed to buy seven of
the 10 known mules for a combined total of
nearly $600,000. He vowed that he wouldn’t
give them up without a fight.
The $1.25 mule wasn’t the only “impos-
sible” U.S. coin to surface in 2002.
Among the other coins authenticated as
genuine during the year were:
• A 1995 cent/dime mule on a dime planchet.
• A 1999 cent/dime mule, also on a dime
planchet.
• A two-tailed Washington quarter, the sec-
ond such coin found in unclaimed safe-
deposit boxes in California.

For the American public, the Sept. 11
attacks overshadowed all of the world’s worst
news of 2002.
But for people in many parts of the world,
disasters were unrelenting.
On Jan. 17, the volcano Nyiragongo erupt-
ed near the city of Goma in the Congo. Most
of Goma’s 500,000 residents fled before lava
flowed into the city. Still, dozens of people
were killed and thousands of homes and
other buildings were destroyed.
Just 10 days later, a huge explosion ripped
through a munitions depot at an army base
in Lagos, Nigeria. More than 1,000 people
were killed, most of them residents of homes
near the base.
On Feb. 20, a passenger fired up a small
cooking stove on a crowded train in Egypt.
The resulting blaze killed nearly 400 people.
On Feb. 27, angry Muslims in western
India set fire to a train carrying Hindu activ-
ists who planned to build a temple on the
site of a mosque that had been destroyed
by Hindus in 1992. The fire killed 58 people
and, when Hindu mobs retaliated, more than
900 Muslims were slain.
A month later, on March 25, a violent
earthquake struck northern Afghanistan,
killing about 1,000 people and leveling most
of the buildings for miles around.
After a relatively calm summer, an ocean
ferry sank on Sept. 26 during a storm off
West Africa. Of the more than 1,000 pas-
sengers and crewmembers on board, fewer
than 100 survived.
The world’s most valuable coin went
under the gavel at a New York City auction
in July 2002 and sold for $7.59 million to an
anonymous bidder, shattering the previous
record for a single coin by more than $3.5
million.
The 1933 Saint-Gaudens double eagle ($20
gold piece) had been illegal for U.S. citizens
to own until a deal was struck between the
British coin dealer who had acquired it and
the U.S. Treasury Department. Ultimately,
the parties agreed to sell the coin at auction
and split the proceeds.
After the sale, the U.S. Mint legalized the
coin and accepted an additional token pay-
ment of $20 from the new owner, represent-
ing the face value of the coin.
US MINT
The coin itself has quite a history.
COINage
 Even though 445,500 double eagles were
minted in 1933, none was released for cir-
culation, the Treasury maintains. President
Franklin D. Roosevelt took the nation off the
gold standard soon after they were made and
halted further issuance of gold coinage.
Two 1933 “Saints” were given to the Smith-
sonian Institution and the Treasury con-
signed the rest to the melting pot. However,
a few of the coins somehow fell into private
hands; the Treasury says they were stolen,
but a number of researchers claim that some,
at least, were legitimately released.
The Secret Service doggedly tracked down
and confiscated most of these coins. But a
single specimen was legally sold to Egypt’s
King Farouk, one of the world’s most prolific
coin collectors, during World War II.
Farouk was overthrown in a coup in the
early 1950s, and the 1933 double eagle dis-
appeared for more than four decades. It
surfaced and was seized in 1996 when Brit-
ish coin dealer Stephen Fenton tried to sell
it to undercover Secret Service agents upon
arriving in New York from Europe.
Fenton sued to get the coin back and after www.vcoins.com/us/kointainer
a long legal battle, it was agreed that the
“Farouk-Fenton” double eagle could be sold.
Bidding at the auction took only 10 min-
utes. U.S. Mint Director Henrietta Holsman
Fore was on hand to preside over the transfer
of ownership.
Even the bill of sale for the coin is a valu-
able collectible. The design for the docu-
ment was specially engraved at the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and the single sheet
of paper required 12 passes of the printing
presses over a two-week period.

John Walker Lindh, a 21-year-old Ameri-

can fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan,
was captured by U.S. forces on Dec. 1, 2001.
On July 15, 2002, the so-called “American
Taliban” pleaded guilty to two felonies in
U.S. federal court. He was sentenced to 20
years in prison without parole.
Large-scale terrorism was in the news
again in October, when Chechen rebels took
over a theater in Moscow and held more
than 750 hostages for several days.
On Oct. 26, Russian security forces
pumped in knockout gas and then stormed
the theater. All told, 41 rebels and 128 hos-
tages died.

March 2017 57
 Most of the deaths were caused by the gas,
which turned out to be much more lethal
than the Russians had anticipated.
There were more coin collectors in the
United States than ever before, thanks to the
continuing popularity of the 50 State Quar-
ters Program launched by the U.S. Mint in
1999.
The five state quarters for 2002, issued in
the order that the states joined the Union,
were those for Tennessee (admitted in 1796),
Ohio (1803), Louisiana (1812), Indiana
(1816) and Mississippi (1817).
Sculptor-engraver Donna Weaver, who
joined the Mint in 2000, did the engraving
for all of the year’s state quarters except the
Louisiana edition.
Many of the dynamics of the coin hobby
were altered by the popularity of the state
quarters.
For instance, many collectors began pay-
ing substantial amounts of money to obtain
these and other modern coins in top condi-
tion, even though their mintages often were
in the hundreds of millions.
In the grades of Mint State-67 and MS-68,
it’s not uncommon for 2002 quarters to sell
for up to $10 each today. And in the lofty
grades of MS-69 and MS-70, many of these
coins trade for much healthier premiums.
The Mint also issued the state quarters in
both clad and silver proof sets. Individual
2002 proof quarters in the grades of MS-69
and -70, especially those with Deep Cameo
surfaces, command substantial premiums.
Under heavy security, the 19th Winter
Olympic Games were held in Salt Lake City,
Utah in mid-February.
In the 16 days of competition, German
athletes won the most medals, 35, followed
by the United States with 34, Norway with
24 and Canada with 17.
New sports such as “skeleton” were real
crowd-pleasers. Skeleton is an “extreme
sport” of the type that young American dare-
devils have popularized.
The name “skeleton” refers to the stripped-
down sled in which participants ride. They
bellyflop onto the sled at the top of a steep
course and then slide nearly out of control at
speeds up to 80 miles per hour.
In the hockey finals, the Canadian men’s

team defeated the United States, 5-3, to take
its first gold medal in 50 years.
On the downside, the Winter Games were
marred by judging disputes. In the pairs fig-
ure skating competition, a judging squabble
resulted in a controversial decision to award
gold medals to both the Russian and Cana-
dian finalists.
German marks, French francs and Italian
lira went the way of the horse and buggy in
2002.
On Jan. 1, the people of 12 European
nations started using new euro coins and
bank notes. The most obvious advantage
was that people no longer had to exchange
one currency for another when they traveled
among the 12 countries.
The long-term concept was to bring the
nations of Europe closer together politically
and economically, creating a sort of “United
States of Europe.”
The countries that adopted the euro in
2002 were Austria, Belgium, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg,
the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain, all of
which are members of the European Union.
EU members that balked at using the euro
were Britain, Denmark and Sweden.
The European Central Bank issued seven
euro bank notes and eight euro coins.
The bills carry values of 5, 10, 20, 50,
100, 200 and 500 euros. They incorporate
anti-counterfeiting features such as foil holo-
grams, raised printing and microimages.
The designs of the new money allow each
country to maintain a modicum of national
identity. For instance, one side of each coin
carries a common image, but the other side
differs from country to country, showing a
national emblem or symbolic image.
The mints of participating EU nations had
prepared for the changeover for nearly three
years, producing more than 50 billion euro
coins.
In some places, traditional New Year’s cel-
ebrations took on a monetary flavor. In Ger-
many, a funeral was held for a giant replica of
a mark coin. In Bologna, Italy, a four-story-
tall effigy of a lira was burned.
On Jan. 8, President Bush signed the “No
Child Left Behind Act.”
The law’s purpose was to improve public
schools. The idea was to give these schools
more freedom in how they spent federal
money. In return, the schools would have to
prove that their students were learning.
Beginning with the 2005-06 school year,
schools were required to give annual reading
and math tests to every child in Grades 3
through 8.
PUBLIC DOMAIN
Schools had to issue annual “report cards”
showing how their test scores compared with
COINage
other schools in their state.
The law required schools to show steady
improvement over the next six years. Those
that failed would run the risk of being
taken over by state and/or county education
authorities, who would have the power to
replace administrators and teachers.
By 2015, the law had become so unpopular
that Congress stripped away all of its national
features. It was replaced by the Every Student
Succeeds Act, which turned the remnants
over to the states.

East Timor has a population of only about

also speak English, Indonesian and a few
tribal languages. Nearly 95 percent of East
Timorese are Catholic.
Timorese coins in denominations of 1, 5,
10, 25 and 50 centavos were introduced in
late 2003. Upon gaining independence, the
country was one of the world’s poorest, with
a per-capita gross domestic product of about
$150 annually.
Australia played a key role in the indepen-

Collectors of paper money were among
the first to spot the newly arrived Series 2001
$1 Federal Reserve Notes featuring the sig-
natures of Treasury Secretary Paul H. O’Neill
and U.S. Treasurer Rosario Marin.
Later in the year, O’Neill would resign
under pressure from the White House so

John Snow as the new secretary of the Trea-
sury.
The Series EE U.S. Savings Bonds for 2002
included a special inscription in the upper
right corner designating them as “Patriot

Meanwhile, paper money collectors were
learning to avoid sending collectible bills
through the mail. That’s because the U.S.
Postal Service was using electron beams to
destroy possible anthrax contamination, and
the heat generated during the process report-
edly caused bank notes to become brittle and
altered the color of the inks.
Coin collectors faced a similar dilemma.
The irradiation apparently was causing silver

warp.

Then, on Nov. 10, an outbreak of 88 torna-
dos tore up the countryside from Louisiana

On the East Coast, people were breathing

Malvo, 17.
The two were suspected of sniper attacks
on motorists that had begun Oct. 2 around
Washington, D.C. The sneak attacks killed 10
people and left three others wounded.
Muhammad and Malvo also were linked to
earlier shootings in Alabama and Louisiana.

The 50 State Quarters Program was enor-

mously popular, but it also generated its
share of controversy in 2002.
Artists who had submitted designs were
complaining that the best ideas weren’t being
implemented. Missouri artist Paul Jackson,
who came up with the original design for
that state’s quarter, complained that Mint
employees had altered his artwork beyond
recognition.
And to complicate matters, many of the
artists who had submitted winning designs
complained when they weren’t given any
official recognition for their efforts by the
Mint. The coins carried the initials of only
the Mint sculptor-engravers who executed
the designs.
Eventually, the Mint introduced a new pol-
icy. Governors of the remaining states were
asked to simply submit “design concepts,”
not actual drawings, for future state quarters.

Future history students probably won’t

be required to commit the year 2002 to
memory. Still, it was a significant year in
many respects.
Afghanistan was relieved of the yoke of
extremist Taliban rule—at least for the time
being. Canadian hockey fans will beam with
pride whenever the year 2002 is mentioned.
Russians will mourn the victims of the Mos-
cow theater massacre.
Coin collectors who want to celebrate the
year with a coinage memento have hundreds
of choices.
One rather costly idea might be to invest
in a Saint-Gaudens double eagle. Common-
date specimens in About Uncirculated
condition start at about $1,200—more than
twice what they cost in 2002.
Of course, your coin won’t rival the Farouk-
Fenton specimen.
But with nearly a full ounce of pure gold,
it’s guaranteed to be a valuable addition to
your collection.

New Volume of Obsolete Paper Money Out
[ATLANTA, GEORGIA] The 8th volume of Q. David Bowers’ Whitman Encyclopedia of Obsolete Paper Money
looks in great detail at the bank notes of Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
Bowers gives comprehensive historical narrative for every town, city and bank involved in producing notes
from 1792 to 1866, note-by-note values in multiple grades, significant auction results, current rarity levels
and other market data based on ongoing research. The book also includes full-color images throughout.
Volume 8 is the third and final book on the South Atlantic states. Subsequent volumes will cover the Mid-
Atlantic and Midwest states.
The hardcover, 672-page book sells for $69.95 at online booksellers, including Whitman.com. Members of
the American Numismatic Association can receive 10 percent off their order.

Islamic gold dinar similar to the one found at a dig in Kafr Kana.
NEW DISCOVERY
Islamic Gold Dinar Found
[ISRAEL] The Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced the discovery of
a medieval Islamic gold dinar. The coin was found by two teenagers involved
in an organized archaeological dig in Kafr Kana in lower Galilee.
All antiquities discovered in Israel are required to be turned over to the
state. Such tight control allows all finds to be able to be studied in their proper
context.
Omar Zeidan is the director for the Kafr Kana excavation on behalf of the
IAA. He explained that this coin was found in “7th to 8th century buildings
along with fragments of pottery, metal objects and animal bones.” This indi-
cates that people were living at the location during the early Islamic period.
The Jewish Press reported that the coin dates from 8 C.E. and that it is a
“1,200-year-old coin [that] is inscribed with Arabic writing that speaks if the
Prophet Mohammed and monotheism.”
Gold coins, from any era, have never been found in significant quantities
in Israel.

IT’S A MATCH
A Fun Way to Learn How to Grade
[COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO] The American Numismat-
ic Association has developed a tool to help coin collectors become
more familiar with its grading standards.
Grading is subjective, and it is generally more difficult to grade a
coin from an image than the actual coin. “The Grading Game” is
meant as an entertaining learning device.
To play, choose one of four categories: copper, nickel, silver or
gold. Each metal will bring you to a screen of squares; each square
covers a different coin.
The player is to locate a pair of coins that represent the same grade
and find all of the matched pairs in as few moves as possible. The
game records the moves and times the matches. Memorizing the
moves before playing the game again will not improve your score:
the coins change location with each attempt to play.
