  • 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.

Grateful acknowledgement is extended to the American Numismatic Society for granting permission to reprint this vol- ume, and for loaning to the publisher Edgar H. Adams own copy of the original book which was copied for this reprint edition. REPRINTED FROM THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NUMISMATICS. 1912. Copyright, 1912, Edgar H. Adams. — PREFACE More often than not, when the subject of “pioneer gold’’ occurs in coin collecting circles, it is spoken of somewhat vaguely. It is indeed a topic with which only the ad- vanced numismatist tends to have more than a cursory acquaintance—and largely so be- cause information about these curious coins has been nearly as scarce as the coins them- selves. Primary sources of information—the private letters of territorial minters and their employees, correspondence among governmental officials, and “public” documents all are but unavailable to the collector ; and, without the efforts of a skilled numismatic researcher, in their archival itate these scattered materials would probably discourage all but the most zealous private collector anyway. Secondary sources of information, among the best of which is the volume presented here, when they were of any real value in the first place, have generally been long out of print and their information available only to the advanced collector who sought out rare—and usually expensive—early editions.

While drawing is often associated with pencil on paper, I drew onto a board toned with thin acrylic washes, then created layers using erasers and scalpels to remove pencil before applying more graphite. And, although portraits traditionally show one subject on a plain background, I combined multiple poses, sizes, and light sources, concentrating on directing the viewer’s gaze from one pose to the next. Furthermore, spending weeks under an active Harpy Eagle nest during the AFC Expedition was an unforgettable experience, as I had always dreamed of observing the most powerful bird of prey in its natural habitat. By portraying this threatened species, I hope to increase awareness of the key role its conservation plays in the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem. I often say that my ‘best painting’ will be my ‘next one’.

  • Commercial Rents in Key Canadian Economic Markets, Fourth Quarter 2020 Released at 8:30 A.M
    Commercial rents in key Canadian economic markets, fourth quarter 2020 Released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in The Daily, Thursday, February 25, 2021 Commercial rents fell 0.6% in the fourth quarter, following a 0.5% (revised from +0.7%) increase in the third quarter. The decline was concentrated in the retail sector, where rents are tied to retail sales. Retail revenue fell sharply in the fall during the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, following the shutdown of non-essential businesses in many regions of the country. Commercial rents fall in the fourth quarter Nationally, commercial rents decreased by 0.6% from the third to the fourth quarter. Lower rents for retail buildings (-4.0%) more than offset higher rents for industrial buildings and warehouses (+2.2%) and office buildings (+0.5%). Retail building rents generally rise in the fourth quarter in tandem with the Christmas shopping season, as a portion of those rents is tied to retail sales. However, retail rents fell 4.0% in 2020, mostly because of large base rent concessions and discounts given by landlords during the onset of the resurgence of the pandemic; this brought rents down 4.5% from September to October. Retail rents rose 1.9% in November and edged down 0.1% in December. Office rents edged up 0.5% in the fourth quarter, following the phasing out of rent rebates and deferrals by landlords in the sector. With the resurgence of e-commerce sales in November and December, coupled with strong wholesale and manufacturing sectors, demand for inventory space continued to grow.

  • 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.

  • U.S. Pattern Coins
    U.S. Pattern Coins A Meinhart Talk by Eli Fybush What is a pattern coin? • A pattern coin is a coin that is a proposed design for a coin that isn’t approved to be released. • Many are very valuable because of their rarity and their historical importance, which is why they are so heavily collected. How did pattern coins begin in the U.S.? • Once the U.S. declared independence, Congress discussed what its currency should be. • In 1783, Congress resolved this problem by creating the U.S. Mint. • In 1792, the U.S. Mint opened in Philadelphia, and the first patterns were made, including the half dime – then known as a half disme. • Many of these patterns entered circulation in the next decade. The golden age of patterns • Many more patterns were created, but in the 1800s it got a lot more interesting. • Starting in 1836, even more patterns were made, including the 1836 two-cent piece, the 1836 gold dollar, the 1856 Flying Eagle cent, the 1858 Flying Eagle cent, the 1859 half dollar, the 1863 Washington two-cent piece and, most notably, the 1877 gold fifty-dollar pattern. These are some of my favorite patterns… The 1854 and 1855 Flying Eagle cents were ideas for a new one-cent piece. At that time the U.S. Mint was experimenting with ideas for a new cent. The Flying Eagle was made of multiple compositions and designs as they were experimenting. The 1856 design was finally accepted. The 1866 Lincoln nickel was the first proposal to put an actual person on a U.S.
