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. -

How to Collect Coins a Fun, Useful, and Educational Guide to the Hobby
$4.95 Valuable Tips & Information! LITTLETON’S HOW TO CCOLLECTOLLECT CCOINSOINS ✓ Find the answers to the top 8 questions about coins! ✓ Are there any U.S. coin types you’ve never heard of? ✓ Learn about grading coins! ✓ Expand your coin collecting knowledge! ✓ Keep your coins in the best condition! ✓ Learn all about the different U.S. Mints and mint marks! WELCOME… Dear Collector, Coins reflect the culture and the times in which they were produced, and U.S. coins tell the story of America in a way that no other artifact can. Why? Because they have been used since the nation’s beginnings. Pathfinders and trendsetters – Benjamin Franklin, Robert E. Lee, Teddy Roosevelt, Marilyn Monroe – you, your parents and grandparents have all used coins. When you hold one in your hand, you’re holding a tangible link to the past. David M. Sundman, You can travel back to colonial America LCC President with a large cent, the Civil War with a two-cent piece, or to the beginning of America’s involvement in WWI with a Mercury dime. Every U.S. coin is an enduring legacy from our nation’s past! Have a plan for your collection When many collectors begin, they may want to collect everything, because all different coin types fascinate them. But, after gaining more knowledge and experience, they usually find that it’s good to have a plan and a focus for what they want to collect. Although there are various ways (pages 8 & 9 list a few), building a complete date and mint mark collection (such as Lincoln cents) is considered by many to be the ultimate achievement. -

NPO-20190705243 Order Received: 2019 / 7 / 05 Numismatists’ Professional Opinion from the Numismatic Professionals at the Academy of Coins© 7/6/2019 Michael Schilling: Thank you for submitting your coin to PriceThatCoin.com. We examined your photographs. In our professional opinion, the coins pictured are: #1. All counterfeit: Counterfeit 1873 Pattern Trade Dollar, Counterfeit 1873 Pattern Trade Dollar, Fantasy (does not exist) 1865 Quarter Dollar, Counterfeit 1847-CC Counterfeit Seated Liberty Dollar, Counterfeit 1799 Draped Bust Dollar, Counterfeit 1799 Draped Bust Dollar, Fantasy (does not exist) 1851 Indian Head Dollar, Fantasy (does not exist) 1851 Indian Head Dollar. #2. Unfortunately, these coins are all definitely counterfeit coins. Without question. All of them. We've seen them before. Normally they're purchased in a pack together. Your photographs (rated 8 / 10, 10 perfect, 1 poor) are excellent for determining grade and authenticity. #3. Current Market Value (7/6/2019) These coins have no value. They are illegal to buy and illegal to sell. Most are not marked “COPY” as required by the Hobby Protection Act of 1973 (the 1965 Quarter is marked “FACSIMILE”). These counterfeit coins are normally made of a base metal with no bullion value. Some are magnetic, some are not. It is irrelevant, as these are all poor quality counterfeits. More Information: Ordinarily, we give you a link to an article here about how to sell coins like yours. There's no legal method to sell counterfeit coins. While we share in your disappointment – we love appraising great coins! - we're happy that you trusted us to educate you on the facts. -
