  • 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.

  • Benjamin Franklin (10 Vols., New York, 1905- 7), 5:167
    The American Aesthetic of Franklin's Visual Creations ENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S VISUAL CREATIONS—his cartoons, designs for flags and paper money, emblems and devices— Breveal an underlying American aesthetic, i.e., an egalitarian and nationalistic impulse. Although these implications may be dis- cerned in a number of his visual creations, I will restrict this essay to four: first, the cartoon of Hercules and the Wagoneer that appeared in Franklin's pamphlet Plain Truth in 1747; second, the flags of the Associator companies of December 1747; third, the cut-snake cartoon of May 1754; and fourth, his designs for the first United States Continental currency in 1775 and 1776. These four devices or groups of devices afford a reasonable basis for generalizations concerning Franklin's visual creations. And since the conclusions shed light upon Franklin's notorious comments comparing the eagle as the emblem of the United States to the turkey ("a much more respectable bird and withal a true original Native of America"),1 I will discuss that opinion in an appendix. My premise (which will only be partially proven during the fol- lowing discussion) is that Franklin was an extraordinarily knowl- edgeable student of visual symbols, devices, and heraldry. Almost all eighteenth-century British and American printers used ornaments and illustrations. Many printers, including Franklin, made their own woodcuts and carefully designed the visual appearance of their broad- sides, newspapers, pamphlets, and books. Franklin's uses of the visual arts are distinguished from those of other colonial printers by his artistic creativity and by his interest in and scholarly knowledge of the general subject.

  • A Picture Gallery of U.S. Colonial Coins and Tokens Prior to the Establishment of the U.S
    A picture gallery of U.S. colonial coins and tokens Prior to the establishment of the U.S. Mint in 1792, several of the original colonies and states made their own coins, or in some cases coins or tokens were made elsewhere (usually in Eng- land, Ireland or France) for use in the American colonies. There are also some post-1792 private issues, oen depicng George Washington, that are considered part of the U.S. colonial coin series. For more informaon, see A Guide Book of United States Coins (“Red Book”). Collecng colonial coins is more popular “back east,” but there are a few Pacific Northwest col- lectors who have built collecons of colonials, and there is an annual meeng of the Colonial Coin Collectors Club (C4) at the annual PNNA spring convenon. “The Colonial Era” introducon on the next page was originally wrien for a C4 display at an ANA show in the Northwest. The coins and tokens pictured in this gallery are from a local collecon that was sold, with the excepon that the Fugio Cent was from a different private collecon. Enjoy!

  • Collecting Classic Commemorative Coinage
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Classic Commemorative Coinage by Thomas Coulson By the mid-Nineteenth Century, the United States of America had cel- ebrated many important milestones and events. Citizens often wanted mementos of these occasions and private companies filled this demand for some events by selling commemorative medals. The United States Mint recognized the strong interest for commemoratives of national events and issued official medals on special occasions such as the U.S. Centennial of Independence. These commemorative medals were pop- ular, but lacked the full ‘legitimacy’ of a legal tender issue. The U.S. Mint first issued commemorative coinage in 1892 in conjunction with the World’s Columbian Exposition held in Chicago to commemorate the 1893 Columbian Exposition Half 400th anniversary of Columbus’ landing in the ‘New World’. Nearly two Dollar Reverse million Columbian Halves were struck in 1892 and 1893. Many of these were bought as prized keepsakes of their attendance at this once in a lifetime event. The success of this first issue paved the way for more commemorative coins to be issued; again in conjunction with Expositions. These included the Lafayette Dollar (Paris Exposition, 1900), the Jefferson, McKinley, and Lewis & Clark Gold Dollars (Louisiana Purchase Exposition, 1904), and the Panama-Pacific Exposition coinage of 1915. These first few issues proved to be popular enough with collectors that other organi- zations became interested in the issuance of a commemorative coin for their special occasion. Organizing committees for special events would lobby for the passage of an authorizing bill that would allow them to distribute a Mint-Issued, Legal Tender Coin and keep the proceeds in excess of the coin’s cost to help pay for the cost of their event or project.
