1908-A 1908 Saint-Gaudens double eagle with No Motto. (Images courtesy Heritage Auctions) Some coins are important because they are virtually impossible while others are important because they are more available than might be expected. It is the latter which is certainly the case with the 1908 No Motto Saint-Gaudens double eagle. The 1908 No Motto Saint-Gaudens double eagle stood out from the start and was short-lived. There had been no motto because President Theodore Roosevelt read the scriptures God and gold did not mix. He wanted no mention of God on coins, and for a brief time on the Saint-Gaudens double eagle he got his way, as there would be no “IN GOD WE TRUST” on the issue of 1907 or some in 1908. However, it was eventually a fight he would lose as with some of the 1908 mintage, “IN GOD WE TRUST” was restored. Normally speaking, when you have a coin which is produced for just a couple years, you have potentially a very tough type coin as it was not enough time to produce ...

Are World War Two ration tokens made of cardboard? The tokens are made of vulcanized fiber. The dyes used to make the tokens blue or red included an ultraviolet component meant to deter counterfeiters.   Why were these ration tokens produced? Weren’t there enough coins in circulation? Many metals were considered too critical to the war effort to be spared for use in coins during the years of World War Two. The ration system brought about through the War Powers Act of 1942 included War Ration Coupon booklets. These tokens were meant to be the small change accompanying the coupons.   Would you explain the term “peeking mouse” that describes some Large Cent varieties? The so-called peeking mouse is an unusual and distinct die break appearing above the head on several 1817 Coronet cent varieties.   I’m curious who makes up the values of coins list. Does it come from the author of the Red Book? Market prices published in Numismatic News are based on reportable sales...

by Roy Herbst  One of the biggest laments you keep hearing about numismatics is who is going to be the future collectors since younger people seem to have, at best, a lackadaisical interest in the hobby. I know my own children, despite my constant prodding, are just not interested. I have dragged them to coin shows and even an auction or two but to no avail. I have given this problem some thought and came up with an idea that I think would be helpful. My daughter is a second-grade teacher and I asked her if she could arrange for me to do a half-hour presentation on coin collecting to her class of about 20+ students. She checked with her principal and they were fine with it. I decided to try and keep it as simple as possible by taking mostly circulated coins from the early 20th century (mainly Indian cents, Mercury dimes, Buffalo nickels, etc.) for a few reasons. One, I wanted them to be able to handle and look closely at the coins and their designs and also talk about how thes...

In Defense of the U.S. Mint I just finished reading the letters in the Dec. 17 issue of Numismatic News and all the bashing of the mint once again.   I do not always agree with what the mint does all the time but it seems like it is a business no different from any other. I may be wrong but a business can choose to do what it likes and produce as many of an item as it wants. I have been collecting since I was about 15 when my grandpa would put a quarter in my hand after school and I would take it home and put it in my collection. I got out of collecting for a time when times got tough but never lost my interest in the hobby.   Beginning in 1998, I decided to start collecting again and have since attained all the collection I had before and everything since. I love the hobby but, unfortunately, I cannot collect everything I would like to. This is the case of such coins as the 2019 Reverse Proof or the 1995-W silver eagle. Not everyone will be able to own it.   Not ev...

  Settlement and farming lead to great development in human history. The gradual progress increased the necessity of protection which further resulted in fortification. The first fortified city was the Proto-city of Jericho and since then fortification became an important part of many major cities in the world. The main aspects of fortification are the grand doors that help these fortified towns to supervise, cooperate and protect. According to the literary sources like Arthashastra and Adnyapatra, a door should be made at the weakest part of any fortified city or a fort so it can be well protected. In the later period as the trade developed and larger cities started forming these door became more important, sometimes is also became the status symbol. The best examples of this statement are the doors established during the medieval period in India. The prominence and beauty of these doors are so incredible that they are still the part of many cities as the symbol of the glories pa...
