Greetings to my fellow numisma- tists! The board fi nalized the fi nishing touches on the next Golden State Coin Show, sponsored by NASC. It will be held at the Arcadia Masonic Center in Arcadia, August 23rd and 24th. The Nona Moore Golden Coin Raffl e Drawing is returning with 35 gold coins once again. It is being coordinat- ed again by the one-and-only Harold Katzman and his committee. Harold has some really exciting incentives for the clubs as well as the dealers, so look in this issue for the details on this fund raiser. CSNA and NASC have agreed to dispose of the older broken display cases, with the proceeds to be divided evenly between the two associations. The numismatic hobby is really jumping, with many high-end coins selling for multi-millions of dollars! It is a great time to be a collector. Have you had a chance to visit the new NASC website, ably managed by our webmaster Jim Phillips? He has done a fantastic job. When you are able, take a look at his fi ne work. The address is www.nasc.net. I want to personally thank Jim for his professional expertise in designing this artistic new web site. There is a very important job within the NASC that has not been fi lled for several months. This is the position of historian. I would like someone to please step up and accept this position, so that we may have a complete board of of- fi cers again. The next board meeting will be Sunday May 18th, at 10:00 AM at the Arcadia Masonic Center. Happy hunting! AlexAl JaramilloJ NASC President 4 The California Numismatist • Spring 2014 CSNA... As can be viewed in the picture, well-known error specialist, hobby ad- vocate, and longtime CSNA member, “Xan” Chamberlain, donated $1,000 towards the association’s two in- tended 2014 Educational Symposiums. Thanks, Xan! Previously, Xan con- tributed to the CSNA library, at $750, and to the youth activities at both 2014 conventions. Wow! Again, thanks,Xan! Your president received a generous cash donation from long-time With that support it is hoped that CSNA Member and numismatic other CSNAers might “step to the advocate, “Xan” Chamberlain. plate” and make similar contributions, in any amount. CSNA is an incorporat- ed non-profi t 501c3 organization with all donations fully deductible. Any and all donations would be properly acknowledged by me as the president. While this is happy news, our association and our “world of money” hobby are being swept away in a tsunami of demographic changes in California society. As I retorted in an e-mail exchange among ANA former governors, “it ain’t your ‘Ed Sullivan Show’ and ‘Leave To Beaver’ society”. To confi rm this conclusion, during the January San Jose Coin Club’s show, several remarked the attendance was “old, gray, white, and male”. CSNAers, that is not what California today is like. Look about you. In the Emerging Numismatist column I have added to these remarks, and as can be read, asked young numismatic advocate, Taylor A. Webb, 14, to share his thoughts. How the hobby and our association responds to this tsunami shall decide if the hobby would remain one of universal avocation or return to its old, “ancient regime”, past time of only the wealthy and well-educated. Closing, our hobby and our association faces challenges, and I would cer- tainly welcome commentaries from our members. Reply to EMPERORI@juno. com. Remember, have fun with your hobbies! Always serve others! Enjoy your collecting! And, create hope and do gogood!od! Michaelih l S. Turrini CSNA President The California Numismatist • Spring 2014 5 Editor’s Page Glad to have 80 pages to deal again with this issue, as we’re purt’ near burstin’ at the seams. We have ten articles for your reading pleasure. Some short, some long, all interesting. You’ll fi nd something to fi t just about any slice of time you have available. If you happen to meet up with any of our authors at various club functions, please be sure to thank them for their generous literary contributions. By next issue we’ll be announcing the lit- erary awards for our 2013 publication year, so you might want to wish those authors good luck as well. We’re lucky that there’s been no signifi cant association functions in the last three months, otherwise

  • Seven Reasons Why Gold Will Run in 2021!
    Seven Reasons Why Gold Will Run in 2021! Gold’s BULL RUN in the Post COVID Economy Call 1-(800) 892-0775 The World Has Been Forever Changed. “Covid-19 has disrupted our social and economic order at lightning speed and on a scale that we have not seen in living memory.” — Kristalina Georgieva - Managing Director of the IMF The notion that the U.S. economy, businesses, and households will return to normal in 2021 is not only wishful thinking, it reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of the degree of disruption caused by the economic and social events of 2020. The financial shock caused by COVID-19 was historic. The Federal Reserve printed massive amounts of money to support its deficit spending which included unprecedented securities purchases, loans to banks and corporations, small business assistance, and direct payments to American families. But millions remain unemployed, and experts suggest the recovery will be slower than previous downturns because the contraction of 2020 was unlike anything the U.S. or the world has ever seen. COVID-19 has driven global debt to record highs paralyzing economies across the globe. American households continue to grapple with unemployment, uncertainty, social distancing, shutdowns, and the struggles of remote learning. Experts predict that some U.S. jobs will never come back as various sectors of the economy have been forever changed. Inflation is also poised to return, and its effects could be exacerbated by a new President that plans to raise taxes and re-regulate the energy the labor sectors at a greater cost to consumers. And as lockdowns ease and the stay- at-home economy shifts, look for a massive economic disruption, as the most exuberant stock rally in history could finally tumble back down to earth.

Today, artists and mints worldwide openly compete for one of the Krause Coin of the Year categories. The announcement of the Coin of the Year is one of the highlights of the annual World Money Fair, and the winner is internationally celebrated. Any remaining mintage of the winner quickly sells out and coin values rise dramatically on the secondary market. This is, indeed, solid evidence of the global acceptance, standing and success of the annual award. The Coin of the Year Award had a humble origin as a pet project of Krause Publications’ founder Chester “Chet” Krause and former Krause Publications’ President and CEO Clifford “Cliff” Mishler. By highlighting medallic art with merit, Mishler hoped to encourage world mints to improve the art of coins. Few could have imagined how the brainchild of these two pioneering men would be so well received today.
