  • Bela-Lyon Pratt's Incuse Indians
    Universal Coin & Bullion, Ltd. September 2006 INVESTOR’S PROFIT ADVISORY SPOTLIGHTING OUR NEWEST COLLECTING RECOMMENDATION Bela-Lyon Pratt’s Incuse Indians Edited by Trey Cox Teddy Roosevelt Engages Bela-Lyon Pratt Teddy Roosevelt, a man of many interests, championed the complete redesign of the nation’s coinage during his administration. Roosevelt’s campaign began with the introduction of the $20 St. Gaudens Double Eagle and the $10 Indian Head Eagle. Both of those coins were designed by world renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens whom Roosevelt had engaged at the suggestion of one of his artistic friends. They debuted in 1907 to rave reviews. In 1908, Roosevelt continued his crusade and turned his attention to the Half Eagle and Quarter Eagle coins. Once again, a friend of Roosevelt’s influenced the design of the two coins. This time it was William Sturgis Bigelow, a prominent Boston physician and avid connoisseur of the fine arts. Bigelow piqued Roosevelt’s interest by describing the “incuse relief” techniques he had seen in Egyptian art works on display at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Bigelow suggested that perhaps the technique could be adapted and used on United States coins. Coin image not to scale. Latching on to the suggestion, Roosevelt sought out noted sculptor Bela-Lyon Pratt and engaged him to prepare coin models. Like Saint-Gaudens, Pratt was an outsider and this bristled the feathers of the Mint’s Chief Engraver, Charles E. Barber. Protecting Diameter: 21.6 millimeters Weight: 8.359 grams his turf from Roosevelt’s initiatives, Barber made unneeded Composition: .900 gold, .100 copper modifications in Pratt’s designs just as he had done the year before Net Weight: .24187 ounce pure gold with Saint-Gaudens’ designs.

  • Coinage Act, 1873 [United States]
    Volume II The Heyday of the Gold Standard, 1820-1930 1873 February 12 Coinage Act, 1873, United States: “An Act revising and amending the Laws relative to the Mints, Assay, offices, and Coinage of the United States.” With the passage of this Act, the US Congress demonetised silver and established its participation in the international gold standard. This effectively ended the official bimetallism that had existed in the United States since 1792 and demonetised silver. Initially, the consequences were limited as silver had been undervalued at the old 15:1 ratio; however, as demand for gold rose, a return to silver became increasingly attractive to those who suffered from the subsequent deflation—primarily farmers who witnessed dramatic reductions in commodity prices. Those who blamed the deflation for their financial woes came to refer to the Coinage Act as the ‘Crime of 1873’. ——— Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the mint of the United States is hereby established as a bureau of the Treasury Department, embracing in its organization and under its control all mints for the manufacture of com, and all assay offices for the stamping of bars, which are now, or which may be hereafter, authorized by law. The chief officer of the said bureau shall be denominated the director of the mint, and shall be under the general direction of the Secretary of the Treasury. He shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and shall hold his office for the term of five years, unless sooner removed by the President, upon reasons to be communicated by him to the Senate.

  • Swiss Federal Coins – Respectable and Trustworthy
    Swiss Federal Coins – Respectable and Trustworthy Switzerland stands aloof from the European Union. But Switzerland too once introduced its own single currency – the first federal constitution of 1848 put an end to Switzerland's previously fragmented coinage. The minting of coins in the individual cantons was abolished, and the coinage became the exclusive responsibility of the central government of the Swiss Confederation. And what the Confederation minted was the Swiss franc – French things were very much in fashion, and the decimal structure of the new currency made it convenient to work with. It's tough too, though, the Swiss franc, like a real mountaineer, strong enough to stand up to the euro any day. 1 von 10 www.sunflower.ch Swiss Confederation, 5 Francs 1850, Paris Denomination: 5 Franken Mint Authority: Swiss Confederation Mint: Paris Year of Issue: 1850 Weight (g): 24.97 Diameter (mm): 37.0 Material: Silver Owner: Sunflower Foundation During the first half of the 19th century, every Swiss canton minted its own coins. The resulting confusion is hard to imagine today – good, valuable money mixed with worthless coins. Only when the sovereign single states joined into the Swiss Confederation in 1848, a legal basis for a complete reformation of the Swiss currency was at hand. Antoine Bovy from Geneva designed the first series of Swiss coins that showed the image of a sitting Helvetia. This type was minted until 1874, when it was exchanged by the standing Helvetia. 2 von 10 www.sunflower.ch Swiss Confederation, 2 Francs 1850, Paris Denomination: 2 Franken Mint Authority: Swiss Confederation Mint: Paris Year of Issue: 1850 Weight (g): 9.97 Diameter (mm): 27.0 Material: Silver Owner: Sunflower Foundation Two years after the introduction of the Swiss federal constitution (1848) the first Swiss coins were issued.

  • Benjamin Franklin (10 Vols., New York, 1905- 7), 5:167
    The American Aesthetic of Franklin's Visual Creations ENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S VISUAL CREATIONS—his cartoons, designs for flags and paper money, emblems and devices— Breveal an underlying American aesthetic, i.e., an egalitarian and nationalistic impulse. Although these implications may be dis- cerned in a number of his visual creations, I will restrict this essay to four: first, the cartoon of Hercules and the Wagoneer that appeared in Franklin's pamphlet Plain Truth in 1747; second, the flags of the Associator companies of December 1747; third, the cut-snake cartoon of May 1754; and fourth, his designs for the first United States Continental currency in 1775 and 1776. These four devices or groups of devices afford a reasonable basis for generalizations concerning Franklin's visual creations. And since the conclusions shed light upon Franklin's notorious comments comparing the eagle as the emblem of the United States to the turkey ("a much more respectable bird and withal a true original Native of America"),1 I will discuss that opinion in an appendix. My premise (which will only be partially proven during the fol- lowing discussion) is that Franklin was an extraordinarily knowl- edgeable student of visual symbols, devices, and heraldry. Almost all eighteenth-century British and American printers used ornaments and illustrations. Many printers, including Franklin, made their own woodcuts and carefully designed the visual appearance of their broad- sides, newspapers, pamphlets, and books. Franklin's uses of the visual arts are distinguished from those of other colonial printers by his artistic creativity and by his interest in and scholarly knowledge of the general subject.

  • Part I. Design Subtypes Part II. Die Varieties
    This checklist is my attempt to compile a comprehensive listing of all known variety and error types, subtypes, and associated effects. While the traditional planchet-die-striking method of classification hasn't been completely abandoned, it has been absorbed into a much more detailed and precise taxonomy. This is intended to reflect the numerous steps (and mis- steps) in the minting process that generate the great diversity of anomalies presented here. Many of the categories will be familiar to veteran collectors. Others will perhaps be dimly recalled, while others will be unfamiliar. Many of the more obscure error types have been treated in detail in articles published in Errorscope. These articles are referenced next to the appropriate entry (“ES”). Other treatments can be found in Coin World (“CW”). I have tried to restrict this checklist to basic error/variety types and subtypes. Combination errors have been kept to a minimum. Had I attempted to incorporate all conceivable two-error combinations, this would have generated almost half a million entries. That would have been both unwieldy and unnecessary. This checklist is a continually evolving project. Updated editions are posted on the CONECA website at odd intervals. Thumbnail illustrations are planned for the next edition. The ultimate goal is to use this checklist as the nucleus for a massive encyclopedia. ES=Errorscope CW=Coin World Part I.
