Some statistics concerning Eyjafjallajökull volcano. The volcano in Iceland erupts explosively April 14 after a two day hiatus (originally beginning rather benignly March 20, 2010). Point 1: That translates to nearly $200 million loss per day Point 2: That represents 10 percent of the entire global air traffic system! Point 3: (65,000 in the ten day period mentioned above) throughout Europe Point 5: In locations far from the erupting volcano, (ie the United States, India, and southeast Asia), travel was significantly affected.

  • Collecting America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver Quarters
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting America The Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver Quarters by Thomas Coulson The Statehood Quarter program which ran from 1999 to 2009 was im- mensely popular. It introduced millions of new collectors to numismat- ics. These new collectors were searching their change for the latest issues and eagerly awaiting the release of the quarter from their home state. As a result of this success, Congress authorized a new series of commem- orative quarters honoring important sites in each of the fifty states and six territories and possessions. The new coins were introduced under the title America the Beautiful Quarter Series. They were also known by the abbreviation ‘ATB’. The coins were first issued in 2010, and five sites were honored each year and will continue to be through 2021. There 2010 Mount Hood, Oregon are two main themes for the issues: Natural wonders and Historic sites. 5 Ounce Silver Quarter The America the Beautiful Quarter series is an intriguing collection to assemble. The coins promote awareness of so much of the Nation’s natural grandeur and its hallowed grounds. De- sign lessons the Mint learned from the Statehood Quarter series were applied to the new coins. The America the Beautiful coins are more aesthetically pleasing than the earlier Statehood quarters because of their common border design and more specific subject matter. While the State Quarters could encompass many different types of themes, the America the Beautiful Quarters had specific subjects assigned for each state before the design process. At their best, the designs are innovative and alluring. The Mount Hood, Statehood Quar- ter Obverse Denali, Hawai’i, and White Mountain issues are great examples of modern numismatic art.
