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. -

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.

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. -
