  • What Are the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins?
    Liberty Seated Collectors Club http://www.numismalink.com/lscc.html What are the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins? By Robert A. Izydore In Issue #88 of the journal Weimar White described the Liberty Seated coins in the book 100 Greatest U.S. Coins by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth. This interesting book contains nice photographs of the listed coins and includes some good background information about them. The Numismatic Literary Guild and the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) both chose this book as their best numismatic book for 2003. The top 20 coins were ranked by 84 PNG members while the remaining 80 were ranked by the authors. The PNG members were given a list of the top 100 greatest coins and asked to rank them. The members had the option of adding any coins to the list that they thought should be included. White’s summary stated that the concept of greatness was based on the factors of rarity, value, quality, popularity, beauty and history. It was nice to see that the authors ranked 16 Liberty Seated coins among the 100 greatest U.S. coins in their book. The top three ranked coins were the 1804 silver dollar, the 1913 Liberty Head nickel, and the 1933 double eagle, respectively. White pointed out that greatness is a subjective quality, and I wholeheartedly agree. However, as I look at the coins ranked at the top of the list, it is apparent that these are the coins that sell for the highest prices at auction and in private sales. In other words the rank given to a coin was heavily skewed by its value.

  • The Law and Practice Regarding Coin Finds
    THE LAW AND PRACTICE REGARDING COIN FINDS Treasure Trove Law in the United States John M. Kleeberg, Esq.* The United States, although a comparatively young country, has been the site of some remarkable archaeological discoveries. Litigation has concerned such remark- able objects as a statue of King George III that was hacked into pieces by patriots in 1776 1 and a prehistoric Indian canoe.2 The United States has also been the site of the discovery of large money hoards. One hoard discovered in Baltimore in August 1934 consisted of 3,558 United States gold pieces.3 Another hoard, discovered in Puerto Rico in March 1990, comprised $43 million in currency.4 Coin hoards are not found as frequently as in Europe. Coinage has been in gener- al use in what is now the continental United States for less than four hundred years. The earliest date of deposit for a coin hoard in what is now the continental United States is 1631.5 Coin hoards sensu stricto (i.e., not including finds of paper money) are found in the continental United States at the rate of about three every year.6 In England and Wales, by contrast, coin hoards are found at the rate of twenty to forty every year.7 England and Wales have a much smaller population and area, but that area has used coinage for two millennia. Furthermore, for much of the period that * B.A., Yale, 1979; D.Phil., Oxford, 1988; J.D., New York University School of Law, 2003.

  • A Basic Critique of Economic Arguments for Local Currencies By
    A Basic Critique of Economic Arguments for Local Currencies By Ian M. Schmutte For Monetary Theory and Policy Economics 420 Winter 2002 Schmutte - 2 I. INTRODUCTION One of the most ubiquitous features of any modern economy is its money system. Present in the majority of economic transactions, money plays a key role in the facilitation of exchange, and represents a common denomination of the value that individuals, and society, place on goods and services. Simultaneously, and somewhat paradoxically, monetary systems, and the institutional landscape in which they function have a certain invisibility. Each person takes it for granted that every other person will accept money at an understood value. For this reason, money, and the historical context in which it arose, fades into the background. However, for some critics, the origin of centralized national fiat money systems is not forgotten. Authors such as Vera Smith, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman1 have argued in various forms against government central banking. A common thread of these arguments is that government monopoly of the money supply does not provide any benefits to the public. Rather, a competitive market-based system of money issue can optimally generate a medium of exchange that is stable in value and in sufficient supply. Recently academics and community activists have issued different critiques of nationalized fiat money systems. On their view, the current monetary system contributes to underdevelopment of cities and regions, unnecessary unemployment, and environmental degradation. They envision a process of monetary decentralization in which a network of “local” or “community currencies” flourishes. Such systems would 1 These arguments are outlined in Vera Smith, The Rationale of Central Banking and the Free Banking Alternative (Indianapolis: Liberty Press, 1990).
