The 5 Oz Fort Moultrie Silver Coin: America the Beautiful

The Fort Moultrie quarter was designed to capture a bit of the fort’s early history. The reverse features Colonial Sergeant William Jasper waving the regimental flag, warning his compatriots of the impending British attack. Ships, British Men of War, are sailing into view in the background. The words “South Carolina”, “E Pluribus Unum”, “Fort Moultrie” and the 2016 date are stamped in a perimeter surround the image.

The obverse carries the famous portrait of George Washington which has graced US quarters for decades. The image was originally designed by John Flanagan. This side carries the inscriptions “United States of America”, “In God We Trust”, “Liberty” and “Quarter Dollar”.

The silver weight and purity – “.999 Fine Silver 5.0 Ounce” are stamped on the coin’s edge which is smooth. This is in place of the reeded edge that most bullion coins feature.

It closed Wednesday this week on the COMEX at $1,953.50 per troy ounce, well above even intraday gold prices during the previous peak in September 2011. Gold had previously set all-time high record prices against almost every other world currency last week. However, this record-high gold price needs to be noted with an asterisk. The reason the asterisk is needed is that the value of the U.S. dollar itself has declined over the years. As a consequence, the price of gold this week, if compared to a U.S. dollar of consistent purchasing power, is lower than the previous peak price in September 2011 of about $1,924 and even further below the January 1980 peak of about $850. To give you some idea of the instability of the value of the U.S. dollar, just compare the M2 definition of the U.S. money supply, courtesy of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis: January 1980:      ...

From the Dec. 13 Numismatic News E-NewsLetter What are your numismatic resolutions for the new year?
