I keenly recall the excitement I felt after
mailing my orders for proof sets costing $2.10

nowadays, when buying proof sets for my

them online.
I suppose my grandparents (and some of you
readers great-grandparents) had to make simi-
lar adjustments a century ago when they found
their horse-and-buggies being crowded off the
road by those newfangled Model-T Fords.
Big changes were afoot back then, as well,
what with flying machines beginning to appear
overhead, silent movies giving vaudeville a run

Those innovations were dramatic. But they
didnt come nearly as fast or as furious as
the fundamental upheavals were experiencing
today. Driverless cars drones that make
deliveries pocket-size phones that double as

not that many years ago.
Coins could join the relentless march to
oblivion, even though their roots go back more
than 25 centuries. Already, countless consum-
ers are paying their bills with credit cards and
other money substitutesand Americans
soon could find themselves with just two dif-
ferent coins, the quarter and the dime, available
for use in daily commerce.
I dont see this as a death knell for our hobby.
The coins already minted in the course of those
many centuries will continue to fire collectors
imagination and stir their acquisitive nature
even if no new coins are being made. After all,
Model Ts, vintage Victrolas and old Brownie
cameras remain popular 21st-century collect-

All things considered, losing the option
of buying by mail from Uncle Sams Mint is
a pretty small milestone on the highway of
human progress. Still, Ill always miss those

THE WORLDS GREATEST SHOW IS FAR FROM FOLDING ITS TENT
T
he Greatest Coin Show on Earth.
Thats how I would describe the
Worlds Fair of Money, the extrava-
ganza staged each summer by the American
Numismatic Association.
This annual event doesnt have acrobats, ele-
phants and clowns like the Barnum & Bailey
Circusbut now that the circus has folded
its tent, the ANAs summer convention is the
greatest show in town, if not on Earth.
This summer, that town is Denver, where the
national coin club will pitch its tent Aug. 1-5
at the Colorado Convention Center.
If you live in the Denver area or still can make
arrangements to travel to the show, I urge you
to attend. Ive been going to ANA shows for
over 40 years, and they never fail to enlighten,
entertain and energize me and expand my
store of knowledge about our hobby.
I attended my first ANA convention in 1972
in New Orleans, not far from my Louisiana
home. At the time, I was just 18 and the experi-
ence changed my view of numismatics forever.
Hundreds of coin dealers set up tables at the
Worlds Fair of Money and offer collectors a
comprehensive array of coins, paper money,
tokens, medals, books, supplies and other relat-
ed collectibles that simply cant be found at any
other coin show in such abundance and diver-
sity. Theres also a multimillion-dollar auction
Dozens of fine exhibits give showgoers a
chance to view the intriguing ways that other
collectors pursue the hobby and share their
enjoyment vicariously.
Educational forums and symposiums pro-
vide an opportunity to broaden your horizons
and learn from top experts, who gladly answer
questions from the audience.
Specialized hobby organizations such as the
Token and Medal Society, the Numismatic
Bibliomania Society and major regional clubs
hold meetings where new members are wel-
comed into the fold.
And in one of the highlights of each years
show, another specialized group, the Numis-
matic Literary Guild, stages a Bash where
attendees enjoy a delicious hot buffet, then
settle down for an evening of entertainment
8 www.coinagemag.com
and special awards. And you dont have to be a
member to attend.
The Worlds Fair of Money is the years biggest
coin show, but hundreds of others, large and
small, take place throughout the year across
the nation. The largest include the Long Beach
Expo in Southern California, the Whitman
Expo in Baltimore and major shows sponsored
by the Central States Numismatic Society and
Florida United Numismatists (whose event is
known, aptly enough, as the FUN Show).
Wherever you live, theres almost certain to
be a coin show in your area sometime during
the yearperhaps on a regular basis. If you
havent done so already, I urge you to attend
one of these shows. Even if they dont provide
as many special attractions as the Worlds Fair
of Money, theyre great places to accquire coins
you havent found elsewhereand, better yet,
to add to your collection of friends with a
common interest.
Silver is on the move again, after a slow-
down lasting several months. The U.S. Mints
sales of silver American Eagles nearly tripled
in May, surging to 2,455,000 ounces after
hitting a bottom of 835,000 in April. The high
point of the year came in January, when the
Mint sold 5,127,500 Silver Eaglesbut that
was understandable, since January was the
first month the coins were offered.
by Mike Fuljenz
Sales of Silver Eagles are down so far this year
from 2016, when they averaged over 4 million
ounces per month through May. But the recent
rally could cause more investors to look into
buying Silver Eagles this summer.
According to reports from the Silver Institute
and the research team at Gold Fields Mineral
Services, silver mine production declined in
2016 for the first time since 2002. The gap
between supply and demand also turned nega-
tive, with 1,007.1 million ounces of supply and
1,027.8 million ounces of demand. That deficit
of 20.7 million ounces figures to put upward
pressure on silver prices.
The five largest silver producers last year were
Mexico, Peru, China, Chile and Russia. Indus-
trial fabrication made up 55 percent of the
demand562 million ounces. Jewelry was a
distant second at 207 million ounces, or 20 per-
cent, followed closely by coins and bars, which
accounted for another 20 percent206.8 mil-
lion ounces. The final 52 million ounces, 5
percent of demand, came primarily from sil-
verware and other decorative uses.
Unlike gold, silver is an industrial metal as
well as a precious and decorative metal, and
new industrial applications have provided
the biggest boost in demand. Last year, for
instance, demand for silver in photovoltaic
applications rose 34 percent to over 76 million
ounces, driven mostly by a 49 percent increase
in solar panel installations.
At one time, investors feared what would
happen when the photographic process no
longer demanded so much silver. But tech-
nology always moves forward, and the new
industrial applications for silver have taken the
place of photographic demand. This should
have a positive impact on the value of many
silver coins in the months and years ahead.

The Denver Mint began operations in its cur-
rent location in 1906, nearly a decade after
construction started on the facility in 1897.
Its History Is Rooted in
Colorados Gold Rush
by Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez
I
ts hard to imagine modern coin pro-
duction in the United States without
the Denver Mint. Born during a na-
tionwide immigration boom and the great
Westward migration, the Denver branch
mint was built in 1897 and struck its first
coins in 1906.
The history of the Denver Mint traces its
roots back to the Colorado Gold Rush era
in the early 1860s. Private minters Austin M.
Clark, Milton E. Clark and Emanuel Henry
Gruber formed Clark, Gruber & Company
GAGE STOEFEN
during a local gold rush, operating a private
mint in a two-story building at the corner of
16th Street and Market Street.
The private firm began its Denver opera-
tions in 1860. It was the height of the Pikes
Peak Gold Rush that began in 1858, the same
year Denver was established as a frontier town
along the South Platte River.
Clark, Gruber & Company weighed gold
and struck private gold coins in the denomi-

Mile-High Mint
nations of $2, $5, $10 and $20. Today, the
firms coins are among the most highly prized
of all territorial gold pieces, selling for thou-
sands of dollars each.
On April 21, 1862, an Act of Congress estab-
lished a United States Assay Office in Denver.
The brick building occupied by Clark, Gruber
& Company was purchased by the U.S. Trea-
sury for the sum of $25,000 with the intention
of striking gold coins there. However, those
plans were soon abandoned.
As noted in an 1864 financial report filed
by the office of Secretary of the Treasury
William Fessenden, the reason for scrap-
ping the Denver gold coining proposal was
officially cited as the hostility of the Indian
tribes along the routes, doubtless instigated
by rebel emissaries and bad white men.
Still, the Denver Assay Office opened for
business in late 1863 and stayed busy weigh-
ing and melting gold nuggets brought in by
miners and stamping gold bars that were
cast there. Operations continued that way
for years.
Finally, on Feb. 20, 1895, Congress autho-
rized the construction of a branch mint in
Denver to strike gold and silver coins. The
site for the new mint was chosen on April 22,
1896, when a lot was purchased at the corner
of West Colfax Avenue and Delaware Street
for $60,000. Construction of the mint began
in 1897.
Inadequate funding waylaid coining opera-
tions at the new Denver Mint for nearly a
decade. Assaying at the new facility finally
began on Sept. 1, 1904, and minting began on
Feb. 1, 1906, officially promoting the Denver
facility from an assay office to a United States
branch mint.
More than 13.2 million coins were struck
at the Denver Mint during its first year of
operation, including 4,060,000 Barber dimes,
3,280,000 Barber quarters, 4,028,000 Barber
half dollars, 320,000 Liberty Head half eagles
($5 gold pieces), 981,000 Liberty Head eagles
($10 gold pieces) and 620,250 Liberty Head
double eagles ($20 gold pieces).

Old-Time D-Mint Tours
Were Truly Class Acts

A coining press used at the Denver Mint in the 1980s to strike commemorative coins, medals and coins for Mint Sets is just one of the many types of
coin presses that ANA Summer Seminar students used to be able to watch in action during floor tours of the Mint.

ing part in the Summer Seminar program of
the American Numismatic Association up
until the early 1980s, when a floor tour of
the mint was routinely included as one of the
seminars field trips.
Back then, the seminars were much more
leisurely affairs than they are now, with the
students arriving in Colorado Springs on
I attended my first Summer Seminar as a
student in the Counterfeit Detection class
in 1976. The reception was held on Americas
200th birthday, July 4th, and earlier that day I
had driven over Independence Pass with Ed
Fleischmann of Coin World, who was one of
the instructors. It seemed very fitting.

got to experience the mint from the produc-

was running at full speed.
These fortunate tourists were students tak-

welcoming ceremony on Sunday evening. I
remember then-President Q. David Bowers
leading the ceremony one year, and other

we boarded buses for Denver on Tuesday
morning. Upon arriving at the Denver Mint,
we were taken to the office of the super-
intendent, Mrs. Betty Higby, where one of
the mint officials that would be escorting

This Denver Mint coin press is now privately owned by the Moonlight Mint in Loveland, Colorado,
and used to strike private medals and other numismatic products. The first time I stood next to one
of these it was striking 1982-D Washington half dollars in 90 percent silver.
us around the building in small groups
explained the ground rules to us.
First of all, we had to put any change in
our pockets into envelopes that we sealed
and put our names on. I assume that this was
to prevent us from mischievously tossing a
random coin into a hopper full of blanks,
from which it would ultimately be struck as
an error coin.
If so, this was a wise precaution, as I once
took a floor tour of the Ottawa Mint as a
simple tourist back in 1968 and we did not
have to empty our pockets first. I was sorely
tempted to drop a U.S. coin into one of the
hoppers of blank planchets and just walk
away, knowing that it would not benefit me,
but just because I could. I did not do so, but
others might not have had my willpower.
The second rule was: No free samples! We
were informed that we would have to exit
the production floor past the same metal
detectors that employees did to prevent the
theft of coins. These metal detectors are very
efficient.
DAN CARR, MOONLIGHT MINT
When I later worked at the ANA, I was
told that one year a seminar student had
pocketed an error coin he had picked up off
the floor, and the mint security guard who
saw him do it waited until the entire group
August 2017
had gathered just before the exit screening,
where he tapped the student on the shoulder
and said, loudly enough for everybody to
hear, I believe you have something of ours.
The student handed over the coin and was,
of course, expelled from the class when he
returned to Colorado Springs.
After the ground rules were established,
Mrs. Higby came in and warmly welcomed
us. She passed around a fabulous display of
error coins that was kept in her office to
impress visitors. It was basically two sheets of
plywood, about 18 by 24 inches, with Plexi-
glas sheets securely bolted top and bottom.
Holes of various sizes had been routed
out in the plywood to hold various sorts of
errors, from die caps to multiply struck (and
greatly distorted) coins. One half dollar had
the end of a steel spring struck into the coin,
the rest of the spring sticking up at an angle.
On her desk, the superintendent had
what the error hobby sometimes calls a
tulip, formed by dozens of (typically) cent
planchets fusing together around a conical
die until the top splits and opens up like a
flower. Since I helped write the error coin
column at Coin World, I was of course
impressed.
The tour itself was incredible. After a quick
look into a vault filled with gold ingots, we
proceeded to the main production room.
There we saw blanks being punched from
giant coils of metal, saw other blanks spin
through upsetting machines to become
planchets and got to stand next to coining
presses that were running at full-speed.
If we didnt mind getting our hands dirty,
we could run them through catch bins of
coins still warm from the pressure of strik-
ing. The presses did not have safety shields
as they do now, and we did not have to wear
safety goggles. It was coin geek heaven.
After the tour, we adjourned to the Brown
Palace Hotel for lunch, and were then given
directions to a few downtown coin shops.
By a set time, we returned to our buses for
the hour-and-a-half ride back to Colorado
Springs.
I returned to the Summer Seminar as an
instructor for the Counterfeit Detection
class in 1979, and through 1983 I taught ei-
ther that class or the Grading class. In these
years, I was the ANA shepherd of one group
of students through the Denver Mint, under
the direction of a mint supervisor, of course.
In various years, we got to see the room
where coins were inspected for errors and
then counted into mint-sewn canvas bags.
In other years, we got to visit the Mints
technical laboratory, where random samples
of coins were checked for size, weight and
composition.
I remember seeing one small furnace in
operation, so they must have been doing
some destructive analysis of various coins
compositions, and/or those of the coils of
strip arriving at the mint from outside ven-
dors.
Once, when I was on the production floor,
I saw a number of empty hoppers lined up
along a wall, so I wandered over there to
validate one of the error hobbys long-held
beliefs.
We know that accidents happen at any
mint, and that it occasionally strikes one
denomination coin on a planchet intended
for a smaller-diameter coin, or sometimes
on a smaller-diameter coin itself. Examples
might be a cent on a dime planchet or coin,
or a quarter on a nickel planchet or coin.
(Because it is very difficult for a larger-
diameter planchet or coin to get through the
19

planchet before sending it on to the dies, diverting light and heavy ones into appropriate bins.
feeding mechanism in use, it is extremely
difficult for a coin to be struck on such a
larger planchet or coin. That said, a few
impossible errors have been deliberately
struck at various mints in various years. I
will discuss these in a future story.)
The hoppers were used interchangeably to
catch blanks, planchets or coins coming off
of any one machine and then move them
on to the next step in the process. They had
attachment points at their tops so that they
could be hoisted up over the input chutes
of various machines, and steel gates in their
tapered little bottoms so that the contents
could be dumped out by gravity.
The common theory was, and still is, that
occasionally a blank, planchet or coin would
get hung up in the exit gate of a hopper and
still be there when the hopper was filled with
its next load, which might be on its way to a
coin press. There were maybe 10 or 12 hop-
pers up against that wall, and sure enough,
the third one I looked in had a nickel plan-
chet wedged in its gate.
In 1981, we visited a room in the basement
DAN CARR, MOONLIGHT MINT
where a giant machine and several workers
were packaging the Denver half of the annu-
al mint sets, which were then shipped to the
San Francisco Assay Office to be mated with
their Philadelphia equivalents, put in enve-
20 www.coinagemag.com
Tours Gone By
lopes and mailed. Because the San Francisco
facility was making only Susan B. Anthony
dollars for circulation that year, the Denver
sets also included 1981-S dollars that had
been shipped to Denver to be packaged and
returned.
Workers wearing gloves took coins out of
bags and faced them all the same way, then
fed the stacks into long metal feeding tubes.
Two large rolls of plastic strips above the
machine fed down between two steel rollers,
which had various squares and rectangles
cut into them.
Where there were no holes, the rollers had
raised ridges on them, one horizontally and
the other vertically. When the ridged areas of
the rollers came together on the two strips of
plastic, the pressure generated created heat
and fused the two pieces of plastic together.
Where there were holes for the coins, there
was, of course, no pressure on the plastic,
and the two sheets remained separate with a
coin in the pocket thus formed.
As the adjacent holes for, say, the quar-
ter and the cent were just about to come
together above the meeting place of the roll-
ers, the feed tubes were supposed to drop a
quarter and a cent between the two layers of
plastic. As they were sealed in place in the
continuous belt of plastic, a half dollar and a
dime, or whatever, would drop between the
next pair of voids, and so on until the set was
complete and cut apart from its predecessor
and successor.
Some of the crew members were sitting
at tables cutting apart spoiled sets that con-
tained either the wrong coins in specific
slots or, more often, damaged coins that had
ended up between ridged areas of the oppos-
ing rollers. The undamaged coins were then
fed back into the machine for another try.
While the class was absorbing this infor-
mation, I wandered over into a small adjoin-
ing room where I discovered, over in the
corner, a small cement mixer and a stack of
100-pound bags of dried, crushed corncobs.
In the middle of the room was a stainless
steel tank with a lid. Being an inquisitive
sort, I asked our mint guide what they were
used for.
He told me that up on the production
floor, the workers routinely sprayed a light
machine oil on the planchets entering a
coin press to reduce the chances of the feed
mechanism clogging. Because this oil could
then discolor the coins in the collector sets
over time (quite often seen in sets from 1968
on), the workmen removed the oil by dump-
ing an entire bag of coins into a stainless
steel basket (think French fry maker), shak-
ing the basket up and down in the stainless
steel tank (filled with liquid Freon, not hot
vegetable oil) and then dumping the basket
into the cement mixer.
A few scoops of the dried, crushed corncob
were added, and the mix was tumbled for
a few minutes to dry the liquid Freon. The
corncob was then mechanically removed (I
think with forced air somehow), and the
now-clean (but rather bag-marked) coins
returned to their bag and taken into the
packaging room.
Curiously, after I reported this scandalous
procedure in the numismatic press, the Mint
did not offer mint sets in 1982 and 1983.
When they resumed in 1984, the quality of
the coins was rather better, so I assume that
the cement mixer was returned to its original
purpose.
The last year we had a floor tour, it was
scheduled while the Mint was in its annual
end-of-the-fiscal-year reconciliation, and so
the presses and other machinery were not

running. We got to stand next to the presses, but it wasnt the same with-
out the noise and pounding.
The Mint did try to make it up to us by letting us hold dies and coins
for the 1982-D George Washington commemorative half dollar pro-
gram, so I could demonstrate to the students how raised designs were
created by sunken imagesa useful point for my Grading students
that year.
In my last year there on behalf of the ANA, we were not allowed on the
production floor at all, though we did get to hold 1983-D Olympic silver
dollars and their dies. We also got to see other things I had never seen on
earlier tours, including a giant file cabinet with wide horizontal drawers
full of vintage coining collars. I remember one piece sized and reeded for
the Philippine one piso. If there was a similar collar used to strike 1964-D
Peace dollars, it was not mentioned.
Somebody told me that the ANA students lost their production floor
privileges because one Denver Mint employee had brought his wife and
children onto the production floor to show them where Daddy worked,
and he got yelled at because it was too dangerous for them to be there.
He allegedly responded something to the effect of, Well, you let those
civilians from the coin place in here, and so the Mint stopped allowing
us in, too.
Nowadays, the Summer Seminars have been shortened due to dramatic
increases in the cost of the dorm rooms at Colorado College, and the
Denver Mint field trip is, alas, no more.
But once upon a time, it was the stuff that dreams were made of for a
coin geek like myself!

D
1914-D Lincoln cent

An A-List of D-Mint Coins

by Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez

T
he mere mention of mint-marked rare United States coins usually conjures up fanciful images of
the Old West or pre-Civil War South among coin collectors who recall famous 19th-century issues
from the San Francisco, Carson City, Charlotte and Dahlonega mints. Some of the most valuable
U.S. coins bear S, CC, C or D mint marks.
About those D mint marks. Many collectors covet any coin with a D mint mark from the Dahlonega
Mint, which operated for almost a quarter-century in antebellum Georgia. But the Denver Mint, which
also uses a D mint mark? Thats another story.
The Denver Mint didnt become operational until the 20th century, and today its the workhorse of the
West, producing billions of coins each year to satisfy the increasing commercial demands of the Plains,
Rockies and Pacific Coastareas that have long flourished with a growing population and robust industry.
During some years, the Denver Mint has produced more circulating coinage than the Philadelphia Mint,
and throughout its history it has made more than the San Francisco, New Orleans or West Point mints.
Still, numerous popular rarities have come from the Mile-High City.
Some are well known, such as the 1914-D Lincoln cent, 1916-D Mercury dime and 1937-D 3-legged
Buffalo nickel. Then there are less frequently publicized but incredibly significant Denver Mint rarities,
such as the 1911-D $2 Indian Head quarter eagle, 1918-D 8/7 overdate Buffalo nickel and 1992-D
Close-AM Lincoln cent.
Not to be forgotten are scarce Denver coins that might not be outright rarities but are nevertheless impor-
tant key dates within their respective series. These include the 1938-D Walking Liberty half dollar, 1950-D
Jefferson nickel and 1970-D Kennedy half dollar.
There are also several other important D-mint rarities that rank among the most sought after U.S. coins.
HERITAGE AUCTIONS

What follows is a rundown of important Denver Mint rarities, as well as significant semi-key coins. Perhaps
one could say its the D-list of celebrities who deserve the A-list limelight. And that they doeach one.
Here they are:

22 www.coinagemag.com COINage
 1914-D Lincoln cent
Only 1,193,000 were madeand accord-
ing to the Professional Coin Grading Ser-
vice (PCGS), fewer than 125,000, or about
10 percent of the original mintage, survive
today. The 1914-D Lincoln cent is consid-
ered scarce in all grades and rare in mint
state. Its actually much rarer in uncirculated
grades than similarly graded examples of the
1909-S VDB Lincoln cent, which was saved
in large quantities in the uncirculated grades.
Prices range from $150 and up for a speci-
men in Good-4 or better.
1922 Plain no-D cent

1922 Plain no-D cent

Whats the most popular Denver Mint rar-
ity that does not have a visible D mint
mark? That claim to fame has to go to the
1922 Plain cent, also known as the 1922
no-D cent. While early on, many collectors
believed it was a Philadelphia issue, govern-
ment officials soon confirmed that all 1922
pennies, including those without a D
mint mark, were struck only at the Denver
Mint.
Theories suggest there was some type of
1918-D 8/7 Bualo nickel damage to a pair of 1922 cent dies, with
moderate damage to the obverse and severe
impairments on the reverse. Perhaps this
compelled a Mint workman to heavily polish
the obverse dieto the point of inadver-
tently removing the D mint markand
replace the reverse die. Several die pairs exist
for no-D or weak-D 1922 cents, but the most
desirable one shows a weak obverse and very
strong reverse. This mint-mark-less Denver
cent sells for about $500 in Good-4.

1943-D bronze Lincoln cent

Even a cool million wasnt enough to buy
1937-D 3-Legged Bualo nickel
the only known example of a 1943 cent
mistakenly struck on a bronze planchet at
the Denver Mint. In 1943, the government
stripped one-cent coins of their copper to
save the metal for World War II ammuni-
tion and made one-cent coins from zinc-
coated steel instead. More than 1 billion 1943
steel cents were made across all three then-
operating mints, which also included those
PCGS/ HERITAGE AUCTIONS

in Philadelphia and San Francisco. How-

ever, about two dozen were made on bronze
blanks presumably left behind from the 1942
production year. The 1943-D bronze cent

1950-D Jeerson nickel

1992-D Close-AM Lincoln cent
The premature use of a reverse die for 1993
business-strike cents created this transitional
design variety, which shows the bottoms
of the letters A and M in AMERICA
virtually touching. One MS-64 example of
this rare variety, of which about a dozen
examples are known to exist, commanded
$20,700 at an auction in 2012.

1918-D 8/7 Bualo nickel

This overdate is one of the more popular,
and most expensive, varieties in the Buf- 1916-D Mercury dime
falo nickel series. Values for this rare variety
range from about $1,000 for an example in
Good-4 up to more than $50,000 for gem
uncirculated specimens.

1936-D 3-Legged Bualo nickel

Overzealous die polishing is the culprit
behind a pair of missing-leg varieties in the
Buffalo nickel series over two consecutive
years. On this variety, which is much scarcer
than the more popular 1937-D 3-legged
nickel, the middle portion of the bisons
right-front leg (its leftmost leg as seen on the
coin) is missing, creating a collectible that
1932-D Washington quarter
sells for about $500 in Good-4.

1937-D 3-Legged Bualo nickel

Of the two known Buffalo nickel variet-
ies involving missing bison appendages, this
one is more available and more famous. As
with the 1936-D 3-legged variety, the 1937
3-legged Buffalo nickel came as the result of
reverse die polishing and shows the bison
without most of its right-front leg. The 1937-
D 3-legged Buffalo nickel retails for about
$450 in Good-4.

1950-D Jeerson nickel 2004-D Extra-Leaf Wisconsin Quarter

With a mintage of 2,630,030, the 1950-D
Jefferson nickel isnt a great rarity by any
stretch of the imagination, but it is a scarce
coin destined by fate to have appeared just as
the hobbys popularity was reaching its zenith
in the 1950s. In the early 1960s, 40-coin rolls
of 1950-D nickels sold for around $1,200.

most popular. It shares similarities with
another well-known rare coin from the
period: the 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent. Both
are first-year issues, and both were struck
at branch mints. Of the two coins, the
1916-D Mercury dime has a substantially
lower mintage (264,000 versus 484,000)

Speaking of first-year branch-mint rarities,
another that finds its way onto this list is

One 2004-D Wisconsin quarter variety
shows the extra leaf pointing downward,
and on a related variety the extra leaf points
up. In either case, the extra, slender leaf can
be easily found on the left side of the corn
ear, just above the cheese wheel and below
the thicker main leaf. The 2004-D Wisconsin
extra-leaf quarters are the most significant
varieties of the 50 States Quarters series and
collectively total perhaps fewer than 10,000
pieces. They sell for between $120 and $200

each in most uncirculated grades.

1921-D Walking Liberty half dollar

The 1921-D Walking Liberty half dollar
boasts the lowest mintage of its series, with
just 208,000 pieces struck. It is a very scarce
coin across the grading spectrum, even in
the sub-Fine grades. Its the priciest Walker
in the lower circulated grades, though appar-
ently a number of people saved these coins
in uncirculated condition, as there is a small
supply of uncirculated examples. Prices for
the 1921-D Walking Liberty half dollar range
1950-D Jeerson nickel from about $275 for a Good-4 specimen up
to $13,500 for an example in MS-63.

1938-D Walking Liberty half dollar

Its hard to imagine a thorough survey of
Denver rarities without giving a nod to the
1938-D Walking Liberty half dollar, a legiti-
mately scarce (though not rare) semi-key for
the series. The issue has a mintage of 491,600
pieces and around 30,000 survivors accord-
ing to PCGS population estimates. Retail
values hover around $170 for an Extremely
Fine-40 specimen.

marking the end of the full transition from
circulating silver coinage to base-metal coins.
1934-D doubled-die Peace dollar
The Peace dollar series isnt known for
regular-issue rarities. The only coins that
come even close to being categorized as rare
are among a quartet of scarce but relatively
affordable pieces (in circulated grades),
including the 1921 high-relief, 1928, 1934-S
and 1934-D with a doubled-die obverse.
The 1934 doubled-die Peace dollar exhibits
its most prominent doubling in the motto IN
GOD WE TRUST and was made with both a
large D and a small D mint mark. Accord- vive. There is also the added wrinkle of weak-
ing to the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation
of America (NGC), the small-D doubled die
is much scarcer than the large-D piece. The
1934-D doubled die Peace dollar generally
sells for about $150 in Extremely Fine-40.
1964-D Peace dollar
One of the hobbys most intriguing rarities
is the 1964-D Peace dollar, a coin that was
authorized by Congress on Aug. 3, 1964, just
as silver coins were about to be phased out,
and was struck at the Denver Mint in 1965.
Of a proposed total mintage of 45 million,
only 316,076 dollars dated 1964 were struck
before a White House order halted produc-
tion of the coins.
Mint Director Eva Adams and several
other officials witnessed the destruction of
the 1964-D Peace dollars, and all were certi-
fied as having been destroyed with none
officially saved for special preservation. Two
test strikes appeared in a Treasury vault
in 1970 but were immediately destroyed.
Despite fanciful rumors to the contrary, no
genuine 1964-D dollars have been found
since, though replicas were struck and sold
privately several years ago.
1911-D $2 Indian Head quarter eagle
The $2 quarter eagle series is notable for
being one of just two U.S. types, along with
its identical half eagle counterpart, with an
incuse (sunken) design. It isnt known for
containing many relatively rare issues. How-
ever, every series has its key, and the 1911-D
issue is by far the rarest of the Indian Head
quarter eagles.
Only 55,680 examples were minted and

uncirculated examples of the commemora-
D and strong-D varieties, with the strong-D
being the scarcer version. The strong-D vari-
ety commands $3,300 in Extremely Fine-40,
while the weak-D sells for the more eco-
nomical price of $2,000.
Late Denver Mint Saint-Gaudens $20s
The Saint-Gaudens $20 gold piece is the
most popular of the pre-1934 gold coins and
is widely considered to be the nations most
beautiful coin. Examples can be acquired in
lower circulated grades for nominal amounts
over their melt value. But the famous series
does have several notable rarities, including
a handful of Denver-minted issues.
Three D-mint issues produced between the
years 1926 and 1931 were originally mint-
ed in substantial quantities but then were
melted in vast numbers following President
Franklin Delano Roosevelts 1933 executive
order abolishing the gold standard.
There are very few Saint-Gaudens D-mint
survivors from the late 1920s and early 30s,
with the 1926-D among the most attainable
at a price of about $16,000 in Mint State-60.
The rarest of these later D-mint Saints is the
1927-D, an MS-66 example of which sold
for $1,997,500 at a January 2014 Heritage
auction. The 1931-D Saint-Gaudens double
eagle also is rare, selling for $35,000 in Mint
State-60.
1995-96 Denver Mint Olympic silver
dollars
Its inaccurate to call any modern U.S. com-
memorative coin truly rare, but there are
several that, among modern commemora-
tives issued since 1982, are relatively scarce.
The Denver Mint was tasked with striking
tive silver dollars celebrating the 1996 Sum-
mer Olympic Games in Atlanta and, as is
often the case with modern commemorative
coins, the proof specimens were far better
sellers than the uncirculated offerings. Of
the eight uncirculated Olympic silver dollar
types struck during 1995 and 96, five were
relatively poor sellers and are scarce today.
These include the 1995-D Cycling, 1996-D
Tennis, 1996-D Paralympics, 1996-D Row-
ing and 1996-D High Jump silver dollars.
Each saw distribution of fewer than 20,000,
and all of the 1996 uncirculated dollars retail
for prices of more than $150 each. The 1995-
D Cycling dollar sells for about $110.
Given the hundreds of issues the Denver
Mint has struck during its history of over 110
years, it wouldnt have been feasible to list ev-
ery coin that is worthy of inclusion.
Honorable mentions could include the
scarce 1939-D Jefferson nickel, pricey 1950-
D/S Washington quarter overdate, 1974-D
doubled-die-obverse Kennedy half dollar and
uncirculated 2014-D Baseball Hall of Fame
half dollar, a collectible that became the first
domed coin produced in the Mile-High City.
If only nicer specimens were purchased,
a collection of the coins mentioned in this
article would easily exceed $1 million in
value and could take many years to complete.
While not necessarily a venture for every
collector, it could make a wonderful project
for coin collectors with Denver ties, those
who wish to build sets of rare branch-
mint coinageor anybody who appreciates
genuinely scarce U.S. coins with fascinating
stories.

hard-liner Benjamin Netanyahu over the
more moderate incumbent, Shimon Peres.
The peace process stalled.
The year began with a paralyzing bliz-
zard sweeping the East Coast. Even the ven-
erable Philadelphia Mint had to close down
for three days, Jan. 8-10, because snow blan-
keted the city. The storm shut down airports,
schools, highways and businesses through-
out the East. It caused $1 billion in damage
and claimed at least 100 lives.
Later in the month, heavy rains and melt-
ing snow caused heavy flooding in many
areas, forcing tens of thousands to evacu-
ate their homes. In February, four days of
heavy rains caused flooding and mudslides
in the states of Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and
Washington.
In Texas, strong winds and a heat wave
contributed to runaway fires that destroyed
65 homes. And in the Midwest and the
South, a week of freezing temperatures broke
century-old records. In Tower, Minnesota,
temperatures plunged to an incredible 60
below zero.
It looks like play money.
That was the common first reaction to the
newly redesigned $100 Federal Reserve Note
that made its debut in 1996.
The new bills were strikingly simple in
appearance, with an oversized portrait of
Benjamin Franklin and the dowdy green
motif that reminded everyone that this was
indeed a greenback.
But the new bills were loaded with modern

anti-counterfeiting devices, including color-
shifting ink, microprinting, embedded poly-
mer strips and a watermark that mimicked
the original Franklin portrait. The bills were
introduced to discourage amateur counter-
feiters, who could use high-tech color print-
ers to make fairly credible fake bills.
A story in The New Yorker magazine hinted
at another reason for the new bills: Super-
bill counterfeits of the Series 1993 $100
FRN were so good that many had been pass-
ing as the real thing for months in Europe.
There was even suspicion that the super
bills had been the work of Middle East ter-
rorists. Very few of the dangerous counterfeit
bills made it to the United States.

near Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, killing 19 U.S.
soldiers and injuring hundreds of others. It
was the work of Muslim extremists angry
at the United States for meddling in Middle
East affairs.
The rise of Islamic fundamentalism meant
a major step backward for Afghanistans
women in 1996.
A group called the Taliban had emerged
as the winner of Afghanistans long civil
war, and its leaders imposed a harsh set of
Islamic laws. The strictest laws were directed
at women, who were no longer allowed to
attend school or hold jobs. And forget fash-
ion: Women were required to cover them-
selves from head to toe whenever in public.
The U.S. Mint was busy in 1996.
In addition to churning out the 20 billion

regular-issue coins for the year, the Mint
manufactured a slew of collector products,
including gold, silver and cupro-nickel clad
Olympic coins, regular and silver proof sets,
uncirculated coin sets and American Eagle
gold and silver bullion coins.
It would have cost about $3,000 to buy
one example of each of the collector coins
produced by the Mint in 1996.
One new enterprise generated criticism
of the Mint. Jewelers objected to the fact
the Mint had begun offering government-
manufactured coin jewelry in 1996. Since the
Mint draws on public resources, the jewelers
felt the Mints involvement in jewelry repre-
sented unfair competition. It also deprived
states of the sales taxes generated by private-
sector jewelry sales.
The Mint also took heat from NBCs Date-
line, which featured a televised story about
U.S. commemorative coins. The report said
consumers who tried to resell these coins
often got back as little as 40 to 60 percent of
the original purchase price.
Esquire magazine also got into the act,
criticizing the Mint in an article titled Uncle
Sams Flimflam: How the government got
into the business of fleecing small inves-
tors. Like the Dateline show, the article
condemned the poor investment value of
modern commemorative coins and other
collector products. But the article also con-
tained several factual errors, according to
Mint officials.
In March, the European Union imposed
a ban on the sale of British beef products be-

cause of mad cow disease, a neurodegen-
erative disease known to scientists as bovine
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). The fear
was that eating beef from infected animals
might cause a similar disease in humans
called Creutzfeldt-Jakob, which attacks brain
tissue and is ultimately fatal.
The ban on beef sales came after it was
discovered that 10 Britons had come down
with Creutzfeldt-Jakob. It was feared that
many more people might have been infected
because the disease has an extremely long
incubation periodup to 15 years.
No cases of mad cow disease had been
recorded in North America, and the United
States had banned the sale of British beef in
1989.
One theory suggested that mad cow dis-
ease is linked to cannibalism, since it is
similar to brain diseases found only in the
worlds few remaining cannibal tribes.
Britons had been using beef byproducts in
the manufacture of cow feed.
When a fresh idea comes along in coin-
age, chances are the Canadians have done it
first.
In 1996, the Royal Canadian Mint released
a ringed, bimetallic $2 coin. The coin por-
trays a polar bear on the reverse. At the
center of the coin is an aluminum-bronze
plug, while the outer ring is nickel.
The Royal Canadian Mints research indi-
cated that children are most likely to begin
coin collecting between the ages of 8 and 13.
In 1996, the RCM released The Great Cana-
dian Coin Kit, Young Collectors Edition,
aimed specifically at the target age group.
The kit was priced at $24.95 Canadian, or
about $20 in U.S. funds. The targeted buy-
ers, of course, were parents and grandpar-
ents looking for a constructive gift for their
young loved ones.
Bill Clinton and Al Gore were re-elect-
ed president and vice president on Nov. 5,
defeating Republican candidates Bob Dole
and Jack Kemp, as well as independent can-
didate H. Ross Perot. Only 49 percent of
eligible voters cast ballotsthe lowest voter
turnout since 1924.
Meanwhile, Republicans held onto majori-
ties in the Senate and House of Representa-
tives, so a balance of power was in effect.
The campaign of 1996 was the first to use
the Internet.
Clinton had set up a White House website
in 1993. Republican hopeful Lamar Alexan-
der announced his candidacy on America
Online (AOL). Bob Doles website was the
most creative, allowing visitors to download,
design and print their own Dole campaign

The United States continued to domi-
nate mankinds exploration of space. Long
space-shuttle missions in 1996 examined
ways of working and living in space for ex-
tended periods.
Space shuttle Endeavour completed a nine-
day mission on Jan. 20. Highlights included
the retrieval of a Japanese science satellite

Shuttle Columbia completed a 16-day mis-

The incident sparked a debate over wheth-

Secret Service agents arrested two coin
dealers on Feb. 8 in a sting operation in New
York Citys Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
It seems the agents were offered a 1933
Saint-Gaudens double eagle ($20 gold piece)
for $1.5 million. Since the U.S. Mint claimed
the coin hadnt been released to the public at
the time of President Franklin D. Roosevelts
1933 gold surrender order, the Secret Service
maintained it was illegal to own.
Criminal charges eventually were dropped
against the two dealers, but the government
took civil action to retain the coin, which
once had been part of the King Farouk Col-
lection in Egypt.
Eventually, it was determined that the U.S.
State Department had granted Farouk an
export license for the coin in 1944, so it was
legal to possess. The coin was sold in 2002 at
a New York auction for $7.59 millionthen

The Third Eagle: Collecting Platinum Proofs

The circular composition on this 2009 proof contrasts favorably with the treatment of a similar subject on the 1994 Women in Military
Service commemorative.

W
ith no restrictions on subject or mandatory design requirements, the designers of proof
platinum Eagles used their unusual degree of artistic freedom to make some of the most
appealing U.S. coin designs of the last 20 years. Platinum Eagles are also full of intriguing
sub-10,000 mintage coins that sell for modest premiums over their precious metal value.
Silver and gold Eagle bullion coins began in 1986, with the platinum version added in 1997. The
first year, both W-mintmarked proofs and bullion quality or uncirculated coins without mint-
marks used the same imagery, with a close-up of the Statue of Liberty on the obverse and a flying
eagle on the reverse. The .9995 fine coins come in four denominations: $100 (one ounce), $50 (
ounce), $25 ( ounce), and $10 (1/10 ounce).
While the uncirculated coins kept the eagle motif, beginning in 1998 proofs used a different
reverse design every year. Platinum proofs pioneered the now common idea of a fixed obverse and
HERITAGE AUCTIONS

changing reverse, as seen in 50 State quarters, Native American dollars, and several other recent
coins.
56 www.coinagemag.com COINage
 All platinum Eagles, including bullion, bur-
nished, and proof coins, use the same obverse.
For a few years (20062008) the Mint also
made platinum Eagles in a finish known as
burnished that used the proof designs and
will be included with the proofs for this
discussion. The authorizing legislation for
the platinum Eagles does not require a spe-
cific design or give guidance on the imagery
used. This may seem like a detail, but it is
important.
For almost every coin, laws give guidance
sometimes restrictive guidanceon what to
include on the coin. The organizations behind
the coins, such as the groups receiving com-
memorative coins surcharges, also have input.
Artists, engravers, and Treasury officials must
work within a framework, doing their best
to produce a pleasing and effective design
while complying with the law and meeting
the demands of sponsoring organizations.
For platinum Eagles, these restrictions do
not exist. The Secretary of the Treasury may
approve any design. Effectively, the artwork
is under the control of the Citizens Coin-
age Advisory Council and the artists in the
Mints Artistic Infusion Program. These are
coin people, with histories of achievement in
either numismatics or art.
The results have been artistic modern
designs that rank among the best recent
work of the Mint. There is no recycling,
however beautiful, of past designs or clut-
tered compositions crowding all of the
required elements onto a tiny canvas. The
platinum proofs are more like medals than
coins, in which sculptors work with a round
shape and relief technique to create pleasing
HERITAGE AUCTIONS
examples of the modern medalists art.
As an example of this success, consider
the 2009 reverse that illustrated the phrase

With only 2,253 coins sold, the 2008-W bur-
nished $50 half ounce is the key to the series.
from the preamble to the Constitution, To
Form a More Perfect Union. The designer
chose a multi-ethnic group of four. Working
with the round space, the four faces shape a
curve, with the hair flowing together to form
a frame for the legend. A commemorative,
like the similar group in the 1994 Women
in Military Service silver dollar, might use a
simple lineup better suited for a rectangular
photo than for a circular coin. Like the other
proof platinum Eagles, the 2009 was not
designed by a well-meaning, but untrained,
sponsoring organization. Instead, a skilled
medalist created this coin.
The fractional coins (those of less than one
ounce) are especially appealing to collectors
for completion, for budget, and for rarity.
The Mint made the ounce, ounce, and
1/10 ounce sizes each year 19972008 and
then stopped, with no indication that coins
other than the $100 one ounce will ever be
minted again. This makes the fractional plati-
num Eagles closed series of 12 coins each,
making complete sets practical. A collector
can choose the size that best fits a collecting
budget, with larger sizes costing more due to
their precious metal content, but also provid-
ing more platinum for investing purposes.
Some of the fractionals are scarce and add to
collecting challenge, with the -ounce $50
usually having the lowest mintage each year.
Low mintage issues abound in platinum
Eagles. The 2008-W Burnished ounce leads
the series in scarcity with 2,253 minted, mak-
ing it the lowest mintage U.S. modern coin
of any kind, at least until it was passed by
multiple First Spouse ounce gold coins
in 2013. The mint has taken steps to keep
the proofs uncommon, sharply limiting mint-
Mintages remained low in recent years, such as
with this 2015 $100 one ounce proof that sold

ages in recent years. In the last three complete
years, only $100 one-ounce coins were made
and sales were 4,596 in 2014, 3,881 in 2015
(with a sellout in 10 minutes), and 9,152 in
2016. Unintentionally a few years earlier, a
rare variety surfaced known as the 2007-W
Frosted FREEDOM. The word FREEDOM
received a frosted finish on prototype proof
coins that was changed to a mirrored fin-
ish on production issues. The prototypes
should have been melted, but were acciden-
tally sold to customers, with 12 one-ounce,
21 -ounce, and 21 -ounce coins going out
the door. Most have not yet been discovered,
and the only one sold at public auction was a
-ounce coin that earned $69,300 in a 2014
Great Collections sale.
Most, of course, are nowhere near this
price and many platinum proof Eagles are
reasonable, considering their precious metal
content. The common date one-ounce coins
sell for about $250 over their platinum value.
They are not inexpensive, but are a reason-
able way to save precious metals while also
collecting coins of numismatic interest. The
1/10-ounce coins are easier to fit into most
budgets, with most dates earning around $60
over melt value, or only a little more than the
much more common 1/10-ounce gold Eagle
proof coins. As is true of all modern Eagle
coinage, the precious metal content provides
protection against drops in value, with the
melt value setting a price floor.
Although they started as vehicles for bullion
investors, platinum proof Eagles have become
some of the scarcest and most artistic of mod-
ern U.S. coins. A collector of these coins builds
a set that combines beauty, rarity, and precious
metal value in an appealing package.

Double Eagle Seizure Saga
A single 1933 gold double eagle, believed to be the one that had been sold to King Farouk of Egypt and exported with the ex-
press written permission of the U.S. Treasury, escaped seizure by the U.S. Mint.
How the Mint Stole the Langbord Coins
by Tom DeLorey
T
he Langbord family of Philadelphia has lost its final
chance of getting back 10 1933 double eagles that had
been confiscated by the United States Mint. On April 17,
the U.S. Supreme Court announcedwithout explana-
tionthat it was refusing to hear an appeal by the Langbords of an
Aug. 1, 2016 ruling from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals that had
awarded the coins to the U.S. government.
The saga of the 1933 $20s has filled at least two books and will no
doubt fill another, but here it is in a nutshell:
In early 1933, the Philadelphia Mint struck several hundred thou-
sand 1933 double eagles, mainly intended for the U.S. Treasurys gold
reserves but theoretically available for several weeks to any collector
who asked to exchange gold for gold at the mints cash window. There
are no records to indicate that anybody did make such an exchange,
but conversely no proof that a legal exchange was not made and
simply not recorded.
Eventually, the U.S. forbade the paying out of gold for any exchange
and required U.S. citizens to exchange most U.S. gold coins for paper
money (but not all, making allowances for rare and collectible coins).
Many people did so, and the U.S. acquired massive quantities of such
coins.
After holding this gold, and the gold previously in the U.S. gold
reserves, for several years to see if the U.S. economy would improve
and the country go back on the gold standard, the Treasury ordered
the gold coins melted down into ingot form in 1937 to prevent them
from ever being reissued as currency.
58 www.coinagemag.com
The melting took many months, and during this period at least
one Mint employee discovered that he had access to several differ-
ent rare $10s and $20s struck in the 1929-1933 period. Most of these
mintages had never left the Philadelphia Mint, the major exception
being 1932 $10s, which had been shipped to Europe in quantity.
It would appear that he began selling them to people outside the
mint, who were willing to give him both an older gold coin of the
same denomination to put back into the Mints gold stockpile (to
keep the inventory correct, and thus disproving the Mints later
claim that the coins were stolen), plus a paper profit that he kept
for himself.
Most of these coins had some records of previous lawful distribu-
tion via the Mints cash window and/or other outlets, but not the
1933 $20s.
A Philadelphia jeweler and part-time bullion broker named Israel
Switt was oneand possibly the largestcustomer of this Mint
employee. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, he apparently sold
10 of the 1933 $20s into the numismatic trade, and presumably 1933
$10s and other earlier-date coins.
In 1944, one of the 1933 $20s was placed in a New York auction,
where it attracted the attention of the U.S. Treasury. The Treasury
then began a witch-hunt to track down and seize the outstanding
1933 $20s. Nine coins were eventually destroyed, except for a single
piece that had been sold to King Farouk of Egypt before the witch-
hunt began, and which had been exported with the express written
permission of the U.S. Treasury.
SOTHEBYS
A piece that was probably the Farouk Specimen sold in New York
on July 30, 2002 for $7.59 million. That sale was approved by the U.S.
COINage
 government because of that export license
once issued to King Farouk. Everybody
thought this would bring the witch-hunt to
an endbut then, in 2003, Switts daughter,
Joan Langbord, found 10 more 1933 $20s
in a safety deposit box previously rented by
Switt, who had died in 1990.
In 2004, Langbords attorney, who had
previously worked for the owner of the
(probably) Farouk Specimen, convinced the
Langbord family to attempt a spectacular
winner-take-all gamble: take the coins to the
Mint, get a receipt for them and ask the Mint
to authenticate the coins for the family.
I believe that the attorney, who had ex-
perience dealing with the Mints crack legal
team responsible for persecuting 1933 $20s,
guessed that the Mint would chortle with
glee, stamp its little feet, rub its tiny hands
and shout: Ha ha! We got them! and then
fail to follow the proper procedures to estab-
lish its (so-called) rightful title to them.
That is exactly what the Mint did, and
when it decreed in 2005 that it was keeping
the coins because they were stolen from the
Mint (a claim it never substantiated), he
filed suit for their return.
When that seized asset claim lawsuit was
filed on Sept. 9, 2005, a 90-day clock began
ticking for the Treasury to file a complaint
of judicial forfeiture to validate its claim
to the assets under the Civil Asset Forfei-
ture Reform Act of 2000 (CAFRA). Had it

done so, the case probably would have ended
right there. However, in its arrogance, the
Mint never did, despite legal advice from the
U.S. Attorneys Office and the Secret Service
strongly advising it to do so.
The Langbords continued to seek judicial
redress, and once the Mint realized that its
failure to follow the law required it to return
the coins to the family, it attempted a do-
over to meet the CAFRA requirements. And
a 2009 District Court decision, in a gross
miscarriage of justice, allowed it.
The Langbords civil suit for the return
of the coins came to trial in District Court
in 2011, and with the CAFRA deficiency
ruled inadmissible because of the do-over,
a jury found for the government against the
plaintiffs. The Langbords then appealed to a
higher court.
In April 2015, a three-member panel of the
Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled, in an
utterly scathing decision, that the 2009 rul-
ing allowing the Mint to file its complaint
of judicial forfeiture well after the 90-day
deadline had expired was invalid, and that
because of that, the 2011 civil trial was also
invalid, declaring:
The Government failed to return the
Langbords property or institute a judicial
civil forfeiture proceeding within 90 days.
At the insistence of the Mint and against
the wisdom of the Secret Service and mul-
tiple other agencies, the Government opted
to ignore CAFRA. Now, the Langbords are
entitled to the return of the Double Eagles.
The 2016 ruling found, in essence, that the
2005 failure of the U.S. Mint to file the proper
documents for forfeiture of the coins was not
relevant because it had merely seized the
coins from the Langbords, not forfeited
them, a very fine distinction. It validated the
Mints bogus claim that because it was the
rightful owner of the stolen coins, it did not
need to file for forfeiture of them, thus mak-
ing a mockery of the CAFRA law.
By declining to hear the case, the Supreme
Court has greatly weakened the consumer
protections offered by CAFRA. From now
on, if the U.S. government says it owns
something of yours, it does.

How Coins Are Made

S
ix steps in the process for making coins at the United States Mint are given at right. Match
each step to the photo that best depicts the action by writing the number of the step in the
white circle on the corresponding photo. Hint: The steps are in the correct order.

62 www.coinagemag.com COINage
 1. Every coin starts as a sheet of metal
about 13 inches wide and 1,500 feet
long. These strips are wound into giant
coils that are easier to move. Each coil
is fed through a blanking press, which
punches out disks called blanks.

2. All blanks need to be prepared

before they can be minted. They are
first heated in an annealing furnace
to soften the metal. Then, they are
washed and dried. This removes any
extra debris and makes them smooth
and shiny.

3. The good blanks are then sent

through an upsetting mill. This
machine raises a rim around the edge
of the blank.

4. The upset blanks then go through

the striking process. They go through
the coining press, where the machine www.vcoins.com/us/kointainer
strikes the pictures, amount and mot-
toes onto both sides of the blank, all
at the same time. Now it's a United
States coin.

5. Coins must be inspected before There are now

the Mint. An automatic counting

machine drops the coins into a large
canvas bag, counting the coins as they
fall. The bags are sewn shut, loaded (www.facebook.com/pages/COINage-magazine/
onto pallets and moved by forklift
to storage vaults. Coins are shipped 208751347999?sk=wall)
via armored truck from the nearest

SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED
Teen to Go to ANA Summer Seminar
[TEMECULA, CALIFORNIA] Grant Shobar, 17, of Laguna Niguel, California, was
recently awarded the 13th annual Professional Numismatists Guild (www.PNGdeal
ers.org) 2017 Young Numismatist Scholarship. The award will cover airfare, tuition
for a week-long American Numismatic Association Summer Seminar (www.money.
org/summer-seminar) session, meals, and five nights of dormitory accommodations.
Grant began collecting coins five years ago and has been an avid young numismatist
since then. He said, I was so thrilled when I learned that I won this years scholar-
ship. I went to the Summer Seminars the past two years, and the experiences were
incredible. It definitely brings collecting to a whole new level. This scholarship will
help me expand my interest in the hobby and collecting.
He will be a Senior this fall at Dana Hills High School in Dana Point, California, where he started the Numismaniacs Coin Club during his
Freshman year. Grant has also written articles for various hobby publications, and enjoys attending the Long Beach Coin, Currency, Stamp
& Sports Collectible Show.

WORLD COINS
National Parks of Hungary Series Continues
[WILLISTON, VERMONT] The Hungarian National Bank has issued two rectangular coins
to mark the 40th anniversary of the founding of Bkk National Park. The first coin is a 10,000
forint .925 silver proof (31.46 grams). The second is a copper-nickel 2,000 forint. Each ver-
sion is limited to a mintage of 5,000 pieces, and cost $68.50 and $19.75 respectively. This is
the fourth coin issued in the National Parks of Hungary series.
The coins designer, Gbor Kereszthury, wanted to present the unique natural and
cultural values of the park. The obverse bears the emblem of the national park, the
stemless carline thistle.
The reverse depicts the interior of Szeleta Cave. After the Ice Age, the cave was inhab-
ited by members of the Szeleta culture, which left behind bay leaf-shaped spearheads
and other implements. One of these spearheads is shown in the composition on the back of the coin.
To order or for information, contact the Hungarian Mint's North American Representative at P.O. Box 399, Williston, VT 05495; (800)

ENGAGE YOUR SENSES

Numismatics Discovery Cart Launched
[WASHINGTON, D.C.] The National Numismatic Collection (NNC) has launched a
hands-on Numismatics Discovery Cart in an effort to encourage more involvement with
the hobby. The cart features an activity called Spot the Counterfeit, which will help visitors
learn to think like a numismatist by using many of the skills collectors use in building their
individual collections.
The cart activity engages almost all the senses to teach the methods developed by artisans,
experts, and even criminals to make fake currency. Visitors use loupes and magnifying
glasses to look closely at the objects, identifying clues to their authenticity. They learn how
certain scents relate to the history of counterfeiting.
All the objects on the cart are intended to be handled by visitors so that they can
explore features such as weight and texture. Finally, visitors learn to hear the different
sounds that various metals make. This is another clue that will help them spot the counterfeit.
The Numismatics Discovery Cart is made possible by the generous support of Dr. and Mrs. Andrew Shiva.

In looking at advertisements in COINage Magazine, the INDEX TO ADVERTISERS

the grades themselves may be different, because they

Uncirculated coins have no visible signs of wear, though
they may have blemishes, bag marks, rim nicks, tarnish,
or may even be weakly struck (which often resembles CAC Coin ..................................................13, 65 M & R Coins & Stamps ...............44, 45, 46, 47

grading opinions, some of which are described adjectively,
others with numbers. Not all numbers have the identical Thomas B. Cederlind ......................................46
