  • 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.

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.

  • The Panama Pacific Exposition - How It Affected the History of Numismatics
    The Panama Pacific Exposition - How It Affected the History of Numismatics By Nicolas Conner Introduction: The 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco was a celebration of the Panama Canal’s completion, as well as an opportunity to show the city’s resilience in recovering from a disastrous earthquake nearly a decade earlier. To commemorate and raise funds for this Expo, the United States Mint made four different coin designs at their San Francisco facility; a half dollar, gold dollar, quarter eagle, and a fifty dollar “half union” coin, in both round and octagonal versions. At the time of issue, the set of five coins sold for $200. Today it would be an understatement to say that this price was a bargain! The $50 gold pieces have the lowest surviving numbers from mintage, and are the rarest coins in this group, fetching large amounts of money any time one is offered at auction. The Half Dollar: The Panama-Pacific Exposition half dollar was seen by some as a breakthrough in American coin design. It was the first commemorative coin to include the motto, “In God We Trust” and the first one ever minted outside of Philadelphia. Charles Barber was credited for designing its obverse. It is now thought that George Morgan, the designer of this coin’s reverse as well as the popular standard silver dollars of his namesake, helped Barber artistically since the style closely resembled some of Morgan’s previous designs to an extent. One scholar of ancient art, Cornelius Vermeule, noted that this coin incorporated some French design elements; the midway between Louis Oscar Roty’s “sower” design seen on French coinage of early the 20th century and the U.S.

  • Collecting America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver
    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.
