ADAMS PRIVATE GOLD COINAGE OF CALIFORNIA, - 1849 55 , ITS HISTORY AND ITS ISSUES. BY EDGAR H. ADAMS. EDGAR H. ADAMS. 44 7A STATE STREET. BROOKLYN, N. Y. 1913. Grateful acknowledgement is extended to the American Numismatic Society for granting permission to reprint this vol- ume, and for loaning to the publisher Edgar H. Adams own copy of the original book which was copied for this reprint edition. REPRINTED FROM THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NUMISMATICS. 1912. Copyright, 1912, Edgar H. Adams. — PREFACE More often than not, when the subject of “pioneer gold’’ occurs in coin collecting circles, it is spoken of somewhat vaguely. It is indeed a topic with which only the ad- vanced numismatist tends to have more than a cursory acquaintance—and largely so be- cause information about these curious coins has been nearly as scarce as the coins them- selves. Primary sources of information—the private letters of territorial minters and their employees, correspondence among governmental officials, and “public” documents all are but unavailable to the collector ; and, without the efforts of a skilled numismatic researcher, in their archival itate these scattered materials would probably discourage all but the most zealous private collector anyway. Secondary sources of information, among the best of which is the volume presented here, when they were of any real value in the first place, have generally been long out of print and their information available only to the advanced collector who sought out rare—and usually expensive—early editions.

  • U.S. Pattern Coins
    U.S. Pattern Coins A Meinhart Talk by Eli Fybush What is a pattern coin? • A pattern coin is a coin that is a proposed design for a coin that isn’t approved to be released. • Many are very valuable because of their rarity and their historical importance, which is why they are so heavily collected. How did pattern coins begin in the U.S.? • Once the U.S. declared independence, Congress discussed what its currency should be. • In 1783, Congress resolved this problem by creating the U.S. Mint. • In 1792, the U.S. Mint opened in Philadelphia, and the first patterns were made, including the half dime – then known as a half disme. • Many of these patterns entered circulation in the next decade. The golden age of patterns • Many more patterns were created, but in the 1800s it got a lot more interesting. • Starting in 1836, even more patterns were made, including the 1836 two-cent piece, the 1836 gold dollar, the 1856 Flying Eagle cent, the 1858 Flying Eagle cent, the 1859 half dollar, the 1863 Washington two-cent piece and, most notably, the 1877 gold fifty-dollar pattern. These are some of my favorite patterns… The 1854 and 1855 Flying Eagle cents were ideas for a new one-cent piece. At that time the U.S. Mint was experimenting with ideas for a new cent. The Flying Eagle was made of multiple compositions and designs as they were experimenting. The 1856 design was finally accepted. The 1866 Lincoln nickel was the first proposal to put an actual person on a U.S.

  • Matthew Boulton and the Soho Mint Numismatic Circular April 1983 Volume XCI Number 3 P 78
    MATTHEW BOULTON AND THE SOHO MINT: COPPER TO CUSTOMER by SUE TUNGATE A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern History College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham October 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) is well known as an eighteenth-century industrialist, the founder of Soho Manufactory and the steam-engine business of Boulton and Watt. Less well known are his scientific and technical abilities in the field of metallurgy and coining, and his role in setting up the Soho Mint. The intention of this thesis is to focus on the coining activities of Matthew Boulton from 1787 until 1809, and to examine the key role he played in the modernisation of money. It is the result of an Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded collaboration with Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, where, after examination of their extensive collection of coins, medals, tokens and dies produced at the Soho Mint, .research was used to produce a catalogue.

  • Collecting Standing Liberty Quarters
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Standing Liberty Quarters by Thomas Coulson The Standing Liberty Quarter was introduced near the end of 1916 alongside the Winged Liberty (or ‘Mercury’ Dime) and Walking Liberty Half Dollar. These were among the last coin denominations to receive a modern 20th Century design that was mandated by president Theodore Roosevelt a decade earlier. The quarter was the work of Hermon Mac- Neil who was an accomplished sculptor. MacNeil’s Liberty is a powerful figure, looking to the east with a mindful eye on the war in Europe being fought at the time. She carries a shield; and is ready to intervene. She also carries an olive branch to signify her willingness to keep or restore peace. The Standing Liberty Quarter’s reverse depicts a flying eagle. It 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter was one of only a few United States coins to exhibit a flying eagle. The design was quite beautiful and well received by most citizens. Some, however, objected to Miss Liberty’s exposed breast on the earliest version of the coin. Despite its aesthetic appearance, the Standing Liberty Quarter had several design prob- lems. The design was elaborate enough that it was difficult to make satisfactory strikes of the coin. Many coins (sometimes the majority of a particular issue) were softly struck and lack full details; especially at Miss Liberty’s head. A greater problem was the place- ment of the coin’s date in a space unprotected by a rim device. This caused the date to 1917 Type 1 Standing Liberty completely wear off the coin after a relatively short time.

Hocking states (page 142, item no. 1556) the following: ‘This design was submitted to the Queen for approval, but by a Warrant dated 30th June, 1702, she directed that the monogram on the reverse should be replaced by a rose, and that on the obverse a dress should be added below the neck.
