  • Minting America: Coinage and the Contestation of American Identity, 1775-1800
    ABSTRACT MINTING AMERICA: COINAGE AND THE CONTESTATION OF AMERICAN IDENTITY, 1775-1800 by James Patrick Ambuske “Minting America” investigates the ideological and culture links between American identity and national coinage in the wake of the American Revolution. In the Confederation period and in the Early Republic, Americans contested the creation of a national mint to produce coins. The catastrophic failure of the paper money issued by the Continental Congress during the War for Independence inspired an ideological debate in which Americans considered the broader implications of a national coinage. More than a means to conduct commerce, many citizens of the new nation saw coins as tangible representations of sovereignty and as a mechanism to convey the principles of the Revolution to future generations. They contested the physical symbolism as well as the rhetorical iconology of these early national coins. Debating the stories that coinage told helped Americans in this period shape the contours of a national identity. MINTING AMERICA: COINAGE AND THE CONTESTATION OF AMERICAN IDENTITY, 1775-1800 A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History by James Patrick Ambuske Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2006 Advisor______________________ Andrew Cayton Reader_______________________ Carla Pestana Reader_______________________ Daniel Cobb Table of Contents Introduction: Coining Stories………………………………………....1 Chapter 1: “Ever to turn brown paper

  • 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.

    Sacagawea Dollars You Didn’t Know About Don Pannell – Cupertino, CA August 2015: CSNA Northern California Educational Symposium May 2020: Updated for Cupertino Coin Club Meeting [email protected] Background To attract good fortune, spend a new coin on an old friend, share an old pleasure with a new friend, and lift up the heart of a true friend by writing his name on the wings of a dragon. - Chinese Proverb What is a Sacagawea Dollar? • It is the 2nd and 4th Types of the US series of small dollars • 1st is Susan B. Anthony (1979-1981 & 1999) • 2nd is Sacagawea Golden Dollar (2000-2008) • 3rd is Presidential Dollars (2007-2016) • 4th is Native American Dollar (2009-present) • Date & Mint mark moved to the edge What is a Small Dollar? • All US small dollar coins have the same size, weight & electronic signature! • They work interchangeably in vending machines – supported since the 1980’s • 26.5mm (1.043”) diameter – 2.00mm thick • 8.1 grams weight • Construction (of all but SBA dollars): • Clad with inner core of 100% copper • Outer layer: 77% Cu, 4% Ni, 7% Mn, 12% Zn • Overall: 88.5% Cu, 2% Ni, 3.5% Mn, 6% Zn What a Sacagawea Dollar Isn’t • It isn’t confused with a Quarter! • As Susan B. Anthony Dollars were • Edge feel and Color are very diferent • Nobody has problems identifying cents & dimes! • It isn’t circulating! (at least not here) • Due to $1 bills still being made • And the fear of the old Quarter confusion • Just about every other major country circulates coins for their $1 & $2 equivalent values, some use $5 coins!

  • Modern Chinese Counterfeits of United States Coins a Collection of Observations and Tips to Help Survive the Modern Counterfeiting Epidemic
    Modern Chinese Counterfeits of United States Coins A collection of observations and tips to help survive the modern counterfeiting epidemic. By: Thomas Walker I’ve had several requests for me to do a writeup on detecting modern Chinese counterfeits of Chinese coins, so here we go. In the past 2 decades, we have seen an influx of counterfeit US coins into the market to the scope of which we had never seen before. They are being mass-produced by Chinese counterfeiters in workshops dedicated to creating counterfeit coins of all types. Then these counterfeits are sold on wholesale sites (which I will not name so nefarious folks don’t go there) and can be bought for $1-2 (up to around $100 or more!) apiece from very reliable sellers. This is a low risk, high possible reward scenario for criminals and scammers. The price indicates the level of quality of the counterfeits, ranging from crappy obvious fakes (which still screw ignorant people out of hundreds of dollars) to high-quality fakes that can fool dealers and possibly even the leading third-party graders. The Chinese counterfeiters are no longer casting their counterfeits; the vast majority are die-struck on heavy-duty coin presses. In addition, the majority are not magnetic as they are being made of non-ferrous materials, such as brass. Of paramount importance to know is that the Chinese have determined that no US coin is too cheap or common to fake, so the logic that “a coin has to be real since it is not worth faking” should be thrown out the window.

  • Quarter and Half Dollar Coins: History and Proposed Designs
    December 19, 2019 Quarter and Half Dollar Coins: History and Proposed Designs The Secretary of the Treasury, through the U.S. Mint, is Figure 2. Bicentennial Quarter and Half Dollar, 1976 statutorily required to issue specific denominations of circulating coins (31 U.S.C. §5112). Currently, the United States has six circulating coins—dollar, half dollar, quarter dollar, dime, nickel, and penny. All coinage is also required to have certain design elements, including specific words such as “Liberty,” or “E Pluribus Unum.” The quarter dollar has been redesigned twice in recent years (1997 and 2008), while the half dollar was last redesigned in 1964. Quarter Dollar Designs The first quarters were issued in 1796 and depicted Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. Since then, the quarter dollar has been redesigned four times: in 1932 to place President Washington on the obverse, in 1976 for the Bicentennial of the United States, in 1997 when the 50-state quarter program was authorized, and in 2008 when the America the Beautiful program was authorized. Washington Quarter In March 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a law (46 Stat. 1523) to change the design of the quarter dollar coin to commemorate “the two hundredth anniversary of the birth Source: U.S. Mint, “1976 Bicentennial Coins,” at of George Washington.” The law required a portrait of https://www.usmint.gov/learn/kids/library/bicentennial-coins. George Washington on the obverse and “appropriate devices on the reverse….” The finished coin (as seen in 50 State Quarters Figure 1) had a “standard eagle” design on the reverse.
