How many more years will we continue to use the cent? People who want it abolished say it has virtually no purchasing power and the government loses money on each one struck. People who want to keep it say without it, inflationary price rises will occur as every price is rounded to the nearest nickel. They also say providing the cent is a necessary service to commerce and, if it costs the government money to do this, so be it. That’s what government is for. Both of these positions put the future of the cent in the hands of the politicians in government. They are inclined to let things remain as they are. But there is an option that puts the future of the cent in the hands of the people. If people simply stop using the cent, it will pass away. The question is, will they? Years ago, the late writer Paul Green introduced the concept of abolishing coins by refusing to use them. People of a country can reach a point when it is more bother to use a low-denomination coin than to aban...

Coins from the Quidenham Treasure hoard, Norfolk, 2014. (Image courtesy and © Chris Rudd) Britain’s “Celtic Coins,” a.k.a. Chris Rudd Ltd., have announced that on Monday, June 4, the firm will be offering for sale coins from the fabled Quidenham hoard via their website: www.celticcoins.com/. The posting is scheduled that morning for 9 a.m. local time. The hoard consists of 22 Roman silver denarii and 25 Icenian silver units discovered at Quidenham in Norfolk, 2014, by a metal detectorist. It is historically important in that it provides a further numismatic link with Queen Boudica’s rebellion against the Romans in 60-61 C.E. Like contemporary known hoards, it is likely it was concealed during the revolt. Among other pieces, it contains three examples of the so-called Tribute Penny, denarii of Emperor Tiberius, all minted at Lugdunum (Lyon) post-14 C.E. Full details of the coins can be found in The British Numismatic Journal 86, 2016.   This article was originally printed in...

There are also precious metals you want to avoid buying as they are a weak investment. At the top of this list are high-cost numismatic coins. These coins contain various metal content and are meant for collectors, not investors. Some numismatic coins will have value, while others are basically worthless as their value will plummet over time, such as certain commemorative coins. Bullion is what investors want to buy. //www.pearltrees.com/goldeagleprice?embed=2&d=20180531857 Goldeagleprice 3 Bluntly Simple Personal #Finance Advice That Work Miracles https://t.co/S4oQCDm9Sx — Gold Eagle Price (@goldeagleprice) May 31, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Is It Worth It: Morgan #Silver Dollar https://t.co/U4nm7rfpoW — Gold Eagle Price (@goldeagleprice) May 31, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Is #Gold a Good #Investment ? https://t.co/eUECioLNfJ — Gold Eagle Price (@goldeagleprice) May 31, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js from Prec...

Canadian rarities proved popular at Heritage’s CSNS World Currency Signature Auction held April 26-30 in Chicago. Prices realized were headed by a charming French text, Canadian commemorative $25 of 1935. This is the note with vignettes of King George V & Queen Mary in their coronation robes (P-15). Not only did it come graded a highly desirable PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ, it also sported serial number F000008. Highly-collectible French text, Canadian $25 issued in 1935 showing King George V and Queen Mary in their coronation robes. In PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ and with serial F000008, it realized $22,800. (Image courtesy and © Heritage Auctions, www.ha.com) Given that most low serials of this issue are in the Bank of Canada’s Currency Museum, it was unsurprising when the note was bid up to $22,800. Even so, that price could be regarded by many collectors as something of a steal. A scarce “Devil’s Face” $1,000, P-73, was not all that far back in the field. Just 30,000 of t...

The Mughals hardly require any introduction; it is perhaps the most famous dynasty in Indian history. The coinage of the Mughal Empire occupies a unique position in the history of Indian numismatics. Endowed with the imagination and magnificence of Akbar and Jahangir that was fostered by the later Mughal emperors, Mughals presented a breathtaking example of coinage in terms of art and wealth. Here, in this session, we will see the endearing couplets which beautifully bore on the coins of Jahangir . These soulful couplets are the clear evidence was of his obsession with the Poetries. His obsession reflected excellently through his coins. Mirza Nuruddin Beig Mohammed Khan Salim was known in history by his imperial name Jahangir. He was the fourth Mughal emperor who ruled from 1605 to 1627 AD. Among all the Mughal Emperors he was undoubtedly the greatest patron of fine arts and he took a great interest in it. It is said that Jahangir issued gold and silver coins featuring more than 50 v...

Would a “vapor blast” process make the appearance of a coin frosted? Since vapor blasting is similar to sand blasting but uses compressed wet vapor rather than dry compressed air, it leaves a matte finish. I am aware that the U.S. Mint is using a laser finish. Is this what is used in the 2017 Enhanced Uncirculated sets? According to the U.S. Mint website, “…enhanced Uncirculated finish uses a combination of laser frosted areas and an unpolished field that accentuates design details, creating a unique contrast distinctly different from the mirror-like finish of proof coins.” An earlier Mint statement about the 2013-W reverse proof and Enhanced Uncirculated two-coin set reads: “The horsehair brush automated process creates a reflective surface of artwork elements, but cannot achieve a smoothness of the felt pad. The felt pad cannot polish relief and is generally used to polish the field of a proof die, resulting in a mirror like finish. The auto polishing with a horsehair brush resul...

The first recorded organized public recognition of the war dead occurred on May 1, 1865, in Charleston, South Carolina. On that day, Freedmen (freed southern slaves) celebrated the service of the 257 Union soldiers buried at the Washington Race Course (now Hampton Park). They labeled the gravesite “Martyrs of the Race Course.” African Americans continued […]
