Director of the Mint. 0, OF D, AUG 23 1913 Treasury Department, Office of Director of the Mint, Washington, January 28, 1913. The honorable the Secretary of the Treasury. Sir: The need has long been felt of a small descriptive guide book which could be sold to visitors to the Numismatic Collection in the Philadelphia Mint. A year ago a complete catalogue of the collec- tion, a book of 600 pages, was published, which sells at $1, and public interest in it has justified the publication. This, however, does not fully satisfy the want. There are thousands of visitors annually who would be served and instructed by a small pamphlet that might be sold for much less than the price of the catalogue, and the usefulness of the collection would be greatly enhanced thereby. The copy for such a pamphlet has been prepared by the curator, Mr. T. L. Com- parette, and is now submitted with the recommendation that an edition be printed and offered for sale at the Mint and through the Superintendent of Documents at Washington. Respectfully, Geo. E.

  • Fgm037o D30 Coin Generator
    d30 Random Coinage Generator By Christopher Stogdill (AKA the Frugal GM) This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non- Commercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Most fantasy RPGs use a standard coinage consisting of copper (cp), silver (sp), and gold (gp), regardless of relative location or time period within the campaign. The idea be- hind the d30 Random Coinage Generator is that a GM could generate some „odd‰ types of coinage, based off of real-world coin alloys (though with some fantasy names) that would allow for some interesting role-playing opportunities. The main focus of this generator is on the composition, size, and shape of coinage. GMs needing assistance with the appearance of coins should consult the d30 Coin Generator from New Big Dragon Games Unlimited. This generator creates a base coin type, which is a 1‰/25mm round made from assorted alloys and other denominations predominately based off this standard version. Coins are listed with a Standard Value (SV), where 1 SV is equivalent to 1 Gold Piece (gp). Using these tables: Roll 1d30 on Table 1 to select the base 1‰ (25mm) round coin. Roll on the subsequent tables to establish different denominations or to tweak the base coin. To deter- mine the value of any given coin, take the given SV from Table 1 and factor (multiply) in any modifications due to size and/or shape. GM Tip: You may wish to add other SV factors!

  • WORLD NUMISMATICS NEWSLETTER in MEMORY of RARE DATE/ASSAYER INITIALS RICHARD STUART COMBINATIONS 1783FM by Carlos Jara
    July / August 2016 WORLD NUMISMATICS NEWSLETTER IN MEMORY OF RARE DATE/ASSAYER INITIALS RICHARD STUART COMBINATIONS 1783FM By Carlos Jara Rare date/assayer initials combinations for the Charles III Mexico City bust types: some considerations. The series of 8 Escudos and 8 Reales of the bust type minted in Mexico City between 1772 and 1789 contain 3 major rarities: the 8 Reales 1778 Mo-FM and 1783 Mo-FM, and the 8 Escudos 1784 Mo-FF. Whilst the numismatic community is well aware of the rarity of these issues – generally recognized as the key-dates of their respective types -, the circumstances behind their mintage seems to be rather poorly understood. We hope this short article will serve to clarify these circumstances, while also showing that most apparently random occurrences at the Mexico (or any Spanish Colonial mint) have a perfectly logical explanation. Introduction It is useful to recall the sequence of date/assayer initials combinations in the bust 8 Reales series for the 1778-1785 period minted in Mexico City. APRIL 23, 1926 – JUNE 20, 2016 Date/assayer initials combination Well known Central American specialist and collector Richard Mo-FF 1778 Stuart passed away on June 20, 2016 in California at age 90. Mr. Mo-FM 1778 Stuart began collecting in the late 1940’s with a broad interest in Latin America. From the early 1980’s onwards, Richard’s sole Mo-FM (?) 1 1779 focus was Central America as he sold his South American Mo-FF 1779 holdings. Most of the latter series (although not identified as such and now widely known as the “Americas” collection) were Mo-FF 1780 auctioned by Kagin’s at the 1983 ANA convention and that sale Mo-FF 1781 catalog remains a reference in its own right.
