A Medal For “Old Ironsides”

William Bainbridge One of the most famous ships of the American navy is the USS Constitution . Long called “Old Ironsides,” it is a major tourist attraction at its berth in Boston harbor. It is little known among the general public, however, that the United States Congress awarded her captain a gold medal for the action in which she received the famous nickname. It all began when the Emperor Napoleon went to war with the rest of Europe in the early days of the nineteenth century. One of his most determined enemies was Britain, which was to fight until the “Corsican upstart” was defeated and driven from the French throne. There was to be no quarter given in this death struggle, and neutrals, like the United States, were caught in the middle. A rising American merchant marine attracted foreign sailors, especially English, much to the annoyance of the London authorities, who needed every man available for the ships opposing the French fleet.

Deciding to own physical precious metals

There are a number of speakers and writers who make a solid case for the value of owning some bullion-priced physical precious metals. But once someone has made the judgment that they should acquire some, there is a dearth of information on what to do to actually acquire some.

To fill this void, I created a presentation titled “Consumer Protections When Buying And Selling Physical Precious Metals.” I have delivered this to general audiences, at investment conferences, to a number of coin clubs, as well as a variety of organizations in my local area. First, there is significant confusion about “physical” precious metal...

PNG says coin market gained in 2018

Remember the old college question when we were trying to be profound? If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it really make a sound? That popped into my head this morning. Too much Christmas eggnog? Not really. When I walked into the office, virtually no one was here. That’s what happens between Christmas and New Year’s Day. People generally would rather focus on their holiday experiences. If no one reads what I write here, does this blog really exist? It would be a shame if it doesn’t, because it has important news. The Professional Numismatists Guild has released its annual assessment of the state of the coin business. The group offers two key figures: $4 billion $345 million The first number is the size of the American coin business. It’s huge. This figure does not include sales by the U.S. Mint or sales of bullion coins. It is the collector coin market being measured.
