  • Collecting Roosevelt Dimes by Thomas Coulson Franklin Delano Roosevelt Died Suddenly on April 12, 1945
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Roosevelt Dimes by Thomas Coulson Franklin Delano Roosevelt died suddenly on April 12, 1945. He led the Nation for 12 years through some of its darkest moments; first out of the Great Depression then through World War II. He was beloved and mourned by many and his appearance on a U.S. coin was thought to be a fitting tribute. By law, coin designs can only be changed every 25 years, so the only denimonations available for the new design at the time were the cent, dime, and half dollar. The dime was likely chosen because of Roosevelt’s involvement in the National Foundation for Infantile Paray- lisis; better known as the March of Dimes. Roosevelt was stricken with the disease in 1921, causing him to lose the use of his legs. He founded 1946-D Roosevelt Dime the March of Dimes in 1938 to fund research in the combat of the disease. Many citizens sent dimes to the White House in support of Roosevelt’s cause on the occasion of his birthday that year. With those contriubtions, the organization gained solid footing and the funding drives continued annually. Late in 1945, designs for the new dime were hastily prepared by J.R. Sinnock so that the new dime might be ready for the 1946 March of Dimes fundraiser and to commemorate what would have been Roosevelt’s 64th birthday on January 30, 1946. After a couple of design rounds, the final design was chosen and the ambitious release date of January 30 was met. Roosevelt Dime - Reverse The new dimes were reasonably well received except for the JS initials found on Roosevelt’s neckline.

  • Collecting Washington Quarters
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Washington Quarters by Thomas Coulson The Washington Quarter was initially intended to be a commemorative coin celebrating the bicentennial of the Nation’s founding father and first president George Washington’s birth. The coin was supposed to be a half dollar; presumably of the non- circulating commemorative series. How- ever, plans were changed to produce it as a circulating commemorative quarter. When the coin was introduced in 1932, the United States was at a cross- road. The extravagant ‘twenties were gone in an instant on an October day in 1929. Three years of compounding financial calamity later, mil- 1932 Washington Quarter lions of citizens were out of work and most of those fortunate enough to have work were struggling to survive. These people needed a change. Though it seems like a minor thing, the Washington Quarter was one element of that change. The beau- tiful Standing Liberty Quarter had become a symbol of a more decadent time. The Washington Quarter reminded Americans of a great hero of the early Republic. Washington was a symbol of the Nation’s proud history and of its potential to be great again. The coin was well enough received by the public that many were saved (and still exist today) in uncirculated condition at a time when 25 cents could go a long way to putting food on the table. It is unsurprising that the design became a regular issue in 1934 as measure of comfort and pride to the United States’ citizenry. From 1934 onward, the Washington Quarter has been and still is the workhorse coin of its era.

  • Fanning Breen
    An Annotated Bibliography of the Published Numismatic Writings of Walter H. Breen by David F. Fanning, NLG Introduction The following bibliography is Part I of a larger project which will comprise bibliographies of all of the writings, published and unpublished, of Walter H. Breen. This larger project is a work in progress and may eventually be published in monograph form. This part of the project lists all books, articles and notes published by Walter H. Breen on the subject of numismatics, with a few exceptions. Besides works entirely by Breen, this bibliography includes forwards, introductions and other supplementary material to publications written primarily by others; works written in collaboration with others; and posthumous works derived from the massive volume of manuscript material he left behind. When applicable, reprints and significant editions have also been mentioned. Although errors of fact are occasionally remarked upon, it is not the purpose of this bibliography to determine what Breen got right and what he got wrong. Instead, this bibliography merely strives to present the reader with a listing of Breen’s publications on numismatics, along with a brief discussion of each piece as it related to the numismatic context of the time of publication. Annotations reflect solely the opinion of the compiler when any opinion is expressed. A surprising amount of Breen’s work took the form of letters to the editor of numismatic publications or other brief notes touching on one small point relating to numismatics. Therefore, I have included works of this sort, however brief and ephemeral they may be. This part of the project does not include auction catalogues to which Breen contributed, primarily because of the difficulty of attributing statements in an auction catalogue to a particular individual.
