The 2011 Native American Dollar Design Revealed

The U.S. Mint has revealed the design to be struck on the reverse of the Native American Dollar for 2011.
The Native American $1 Coin Act mandates that the reverse side of the Native American Dollar change annually. Every year a new image commemorating a historic contribution by a Native American individual or tribe. The theme for 2011 is Diplomacy - Treaties with Tribal Nations.
The 2011 Native American Dollar maintains the image of Sacagawea designed by Glenda Goodacre on the obverse, and features an image on the reverse representing a ceremonial passing of a peace pipe following the 1621 treaty between the Wampanoag tribe and European settlers at Plymouth. The hands holding the peace pipe in the image designed by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Richard Masters and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Joseph Menna. represent Governor John Carver (representing the European settlers in Plymouth) and Supreme Sachem Ousamequin Massasoit of the Great Wampanoag Nation. Inscriptions on the coin's reverse include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, $1, and WAMPANOAG TREATY 1621.
I really liked the 2010 design, and was not looking forward to the change. I was happily surprised at the simplicity of the image.

Grapevine TX Coin Show

I went to the coin show in Grapevine, Texas today.

One of the good things about living in the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex is the frequency of Coin Shows. The one in Grapevine is pretty good. It takes place about a half dozen times a year, and it frequently has a very good selection of coin dealers -- local folks as well as some from several hundred miles away.

You can usually get some pretty good deals.

This was the first Grapevine show in which I was disappointed. For the most part it was my expectations. The dealers were there. True, the coin supply business that usually attends had chosen to go to a show closer to home, but I couldn't complain about the representation.

I just didn't find the coins I was looking for.

I went in looking for Mercury Dimes. I had some specific dates and mint marks in mind. It seemed to me that the quantity of Mercury Dimes displayed was lower than usual. And many of the coins I saw seemed very generously graded. Several dealers had coins which I would have graded slightly better than Good, graded VF+. And they weren't moving in their grades. And I know that the price of silver has increased over the past months, but I saw what I would have called pricing discrepancies of up to $50 per coin. A coin which sells for $10 at one booth shouldn't be priced at $60 in the next booth.

I don't know. Maybe I was in a bad mood. Maybe I was feeling a little Grinchly.

I had a good time, but this is the first show in two years at which I walked away without adding a coin to my collection.

The Mount Hood National Park Quarter

It's November 17, 2010. That means it's the day for the release ceremony of the Mount Hood edition of the America the Beautiful Quarters being issued by the U.S. Mint, Oregon's contribution to the series.

I always enjoy it when new coins are released. I believe that U.S. Coinage is wonderful artwork and very educational. I always look forward to getting the new coins and seeing how long it takes the coins to make their way into the change I see in Dallas/Fort Worth. Sometimes it's just days, sometimes it takes forever!

This obverse of the coin retains the familiar George Washington design, while the reverse of the coin was designed by Phebe Hemphill, who has had a hand in several recent releases.

You can get a closer look at the coin, as well as other information at http://www.squidoo.com/americathebeautiful-mthood.

I can hardly wait for the next quarter...Gettysburg.

An Eruption at the US Mint. Molten Metal and Lava Collide!

I was thinking about the America the Beautiful Quarters series from the US Mint, which features United States National Parks, Historical Sites, Wildlife Sanctuaries and such. I had the opportunity to look at the designs approved by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee for the 2012 coins. The one that caught my eye first was the design for the coin from Hawaii.

The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee was established by Congress in 2003 to advise the Secretary of the Treasury on the themes and designs of all US coins and medals. The CCAC serves as an informed, experienced and impartial resource to the Secretary of the Treasury and represents the interests of American citizens and collectors. It has historically been quite conservative in its choice of designs.

The Hawai'i design is somewhat different than many designs chosen in the past. Some folks see it as "modernistic" and "almost abstract." Designers and engravers applaud the decision as endorsing artistic freedom.

Other designs in the running reportedly featured Hula Dancers, with an erupting volcano in the background. The endorsed design puts the volcano front and center. One member of the CCAC indicated that the design could be mistaken for a campfire. But Chief Engraver John Mercanti and Kaarina Budow, the Mint's manager for sales and marketing, say they will make the design work.

While I like the concept of the design, I'm afraid that I am going to need more images, and maybe actually hold the first coin in my hand before I give the design the thumbs up or thumbs down.

My Most Recent Haircut -- I Should've Paid in Presidential Dollars

I recently got my hair cut. That would not be of any particular note, except that it affords me the opportunity to talk at length with folks that I don't see daily (or even weekly). The subject of coin collecting came up, and I mentioned that I was doing some work on a Presidential Dollar page as well as writing about the new designs on the America the Beautiful Quarter series.

"I wish the government would stop making all those changes on coins. They're just throwing our money away on nonsense."

I didn't say anything. I just sat there and listened. The diatribe went on for some time, with several folks joining in.

I finally asked who was the fifteenth President of the United States. Responses varied. I listened and nodded, and I asked when the fifteenth President served. Again, responses varied.

I informed the barber that the fifteenth President was James Buchanan. I told the folks who were listening that Buchanan served for four years (1857 - 1861). I was immediately told that wasn't true because Presidents are elected in even-numbered years. I replied that Presidential elections are in even-numbered years, but that the President takes office the following year . . . an odd-numbered year.

I continued with a brief description of the Buchanan Presidency, and told them that Buchanan was featured on a recent Presidential Dollar.

Folks listened, all the while looking at me like I was a pencil-necked geek. (I am, but I generally don't let the way people look at me bother me a great deal.) Then the man who was next in line to head to a barber's chair told me that there was some interesting trivia there, but the dollar coins were still a waste of money.

I pointed out the relative length of circulation between a dollar coin and a dollar bill, along with the costs of producing them.

"You mean that over the long-term it costs less to use the coin than the bill?"

I assured the man that it was indeed the case. I asked why we never heard about those kinds of things during elections, if we are in such bad shape economically. There was no response.

"And what do you think about seigniorage?"

"I think we ought to make 'em take the signs down right after the election. That shouldn't be the city's responsibility!"

I pointed out that "seigniorage" has nothing to do with political campaign signs. Collectors pay fairly significant sums of money to the US Mint to acquire high quality coins directly from the Mint...making collectible coins a profit center.

I got a general, "I didn't know that," from the folks who were listening in.

"So the coins are educational, save money in the long run, and make money in the short run collectibles market. I also almost never have a vending machine reject a coin that it is designed to accept. Have you ever stuck a dollar bill into a machine more than three times before it was accepted?"

A couple of the guys still stared at me when I walked out the door. I'm not sure that I've created any new numismatists, but I've put some ideas into some people's heads.

Coins and History

It's August 18! That's a significant date in our family because it happens to be my wife's birthday (Happy Birthday Kathy Haule!). While that is cause for celebration in the Haule household, it's not the reason most women or numismatists would remember the date.

August 18 is the anniversary of the date that the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. What was the 19th Amendment?

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

And what does this have to do with coinage? Check out THIS PAGE and you'll find a brief discussion of the Susan B. Anthony Dollar.

Coins are a great way to introduce history lessons! You could use it to introduce the entire idea of citizenship. Discuss the suffragette movement. Tell students about her registering to vote on November 1, 1872, her actual voting 4 days later, her arrest, indictment and conviction for voting. Remember the politics of the thirty nine years between Anthony's conviction and the passage/ratificaton of the amendment. So many topics introduced by a single coin!

A prop is a great way to introduce or reinforce a history lesson! I know that when I work with my coins I often remember the history of the subject and the politics surrounding the introduction of the coin. My daughter tends to view me as a little "different," and she's probably right, but I enjoy it. And knowing the history behind the coin makes me appreciate it just a little bit more.

Prepping for the National Money Show

I've never attended a major coin show before, but this week I'm privileged to have the American Numismatic Association's National Money Show a mere thirty miles from my house.

Frankly, I'm scared.

I have a 14-year old daughter. I've watched her walk into a clothing store. Her eyes get wide, and she almost loses control. Her head is on a swivel as she scans the store, not really focused on anything in particular and reveling in the entire shopping experience. She moves impulsively from rack to rack in a state of excitement which approaches agitation. When she leaves the store she can't tell you much about its inventory as a whole, but she knows that she liked (or hated) the store and the clothing she saw. She carries one or more items in her hands that she got at a good price, but will probably not be nearly as excited about in a week as she is as she exits the store.

I'm afraid that I'll be that way with the National Money Show in Fort Worth. I'm excited, and that makes me afraid that I'm going to waste the experience.

So, I'm trying to prepare myself for the show.

Priorities are being set. Research into grades and pricing is being performed. A strict budget is being put into place. A strategy is being developed.

As of right now, keys to that strategy include:

1. Don't miss the show itself. Frankly, part of going to Fort Worth is taking in the spectacle of hundreds of coins in one place. It's being around hundreds of people with similar interests, and with a great deal of knowledge about coins and collecting. It's about becoming more enthusiastic about a great hobby.

2. Choose one or two types of coins and become much more familiar with them before walking in the door. The show is only three days long. I don't know that I'll be able to attend all three days, so I need to be sure that I am focusing primarily on specific interests for a good portion of the time. Research ahead of time makes it more likely that I will see and appreciate more, that I will be aware of current trends, and that I will actually walk away better informed than I entered the show because I'll be able to talk knowledgeably with experts. Flying Eagles, Indian Head Cents, and Lincoln Cents will probably be my focus...but I'm always looking for nice Peace Dollars and Walking Liberty Half Dollars as well. If I focus on much more than these, I will probably be extraordinarily unproductive.

3. Have the Tools I Need in Hand. My 5x magnifier and 16x loupe are already on the nightstand where I keep my glasses. I have chosen a couple reference books to accompany me. I have a portfolio in which I can notes made both before and during the show, can carry purchases that I make, and can place business cards that I may pick up. Information, tools, and security are essential for a good show experience.

4. Be Ready to Establish Relationships. Clubs, dealers, and individuals are all of value to me. I need a way to initiate contact with them, or let them make contact with me. I've printed some "business cards" (really just a card with name and e-mail address) to leave with people for that purpose. I'm not a professional numismatist or a dealer, but having some sort of contact method can be extremely helpful.

5. Use Time Wisely. Seminars are great, but they are not the whole reason I'm going. Dealers are wonderful, but they are not the whole reason I'm going. The fellowship of like-minded individuals is great, but again...not the whole reason for traveling to Fort Worth. I've printed out the schedule of events and have identified things that I want to go to. Setting priorities for time use is necessary.

6. Be Happy About What Happens. My wife tells me that I can dwell on missing an opportunity for weeks rather than focusing on the good things that happen. She is probably right. When the show is over, I want to carry the wonderful memories that I an going to develop with me, rather than saying, "If only I'd gone to one more seminar," or "I should have talked with him or her," or even, "If I'd only offered a little more (or less) for that coin and negotiated a little harder..." Expecting to have a good time and then focusing on the positive is REALLY important. It's what makes a hobby fun.

So, those are my thoughts several days before the show. I'll let you know what happens during the show. And I'll let you know what I thought about the show after everything is over...and maybe have some coin images to share!

A Convergence of Two Hobbies

I've been collecting coins since Christmas Day of 1952 when my Grandparents gave me my first coin folders. Two Whitman folders with about thirty slots filled with common dates. It took my Grandfather a while to convince me that this was a good thing...I didn't necessarily believe that thirty cents was a very good Christmas present when I first opened it. A little creative psychology on my Grandfather's part had me on fire for the hobby before I left his apartment that day.

In 1963 I began another hobby. I started playing the violin. (Ironically I only found out after my Grandfather's death that he also played the violin.) I played through public school, then went to college. I founded my college's string quartet, and played first violin for that short-lived ensemble. (I understand it folded after I left the institution.) I've played as an amateur in symphony orchestras, chamber orchestras, a string orchestra, an opera company, and numerous smaller ensembles.

Both hobbies have had their high and low points over the course of the years.

Having picked up both hobbies again a couple years back, I was really excited to find the 1967 Austrian 50 schilling piece. On its obverse it portrays Johann Strauss...playing his violin! Whoa! Cool! Not exactly the Harmonic Convergence, but this coin allows me to combine two hobbies that I really enjoy. I had to have one, and it only took about a month to find a coin that I really liked. I acquired it.

Did you ever notice that sometimes the most obvious course of action just never occurs to the folks who are involved? It was that way for me. Just recently I looked into musical instruments on coins, and guess what I found! The 1973 100 shilling piece also portrays Strauss and the violin. So does the 1960 100 schilling note.

Now I'm looking for more. It's not a quest. It's not an obsession. But it is certainly something that is on my mind when I look at coin auctions and attend coin shows. I'll be looking again in Fort Worth at the end of the month when I attend the A.N.A. show. Will I run across something else interesting? Undoubtedly. Will it involve both hobbies? Who knows? But I'll learn and I'll enjoy the things I find!

That's My Two Cents

Errors...How Much Fun is That?

I went to the coin show in Grapevine TX this last weekend. The usual dealers were there, and I got the chance to talk with some acquaintances that are well on their way to becoming friends. I didn't buy anything, but the show was definitely worthwhile for several reasons. I'll talk about one today, then add to my list over the next few days.
Several months ago I had the chance to meet Robert Wilharm, the noted expert on Error Coins from Irving TX. Nice Guy. VERRRRRY Knowledgeable.
I saw Robert Saturday at the show, and we had a chance to chat. While we were talking, a man came up to us carrying a stack of coins in flips.
"Just the man I wanted to see!!!"
The three of us shook hands, and he began talking to Robert. He'd bought some "scrap coins" for their silver content. Mercury Dimes for the most part. It seems that as he was going through them he found several coins that just didn't look right.
Two coins had repunched mint marks, and one had been struck through a layer of grease. Robert confirmed the errors, and I was reminded that no matter how old the coins, how bad the condition, what you pay for them, etc., etc., etc., you can still come up with interesting coins straight from circulation. I just wonder how many people looked at those dimes since 1935 and never noticed a thing!!!

Don't Leave Home Without It

Any time I get the chance to talk about Coin Collecting I take it. I've always considered coins "fine art for the common folk," and I have often discussed just that point with people I didn't even know. I'd love to be able to carry my coin collection with me, but as forgetful as I am (at least according to my wife and 13-year old daughter), I'm probably better off leaving my actual collection safely at home. But I have figured out a few ways to bring up coins in conversation without the risk of losing something valuable, and over the next few weeks I'll post something about some of those ideas.

One thing that I like to do is have an image or two of coins I enjoy with me. If I can display them somehow, people always seem to talk about them. For me it's especially fun if the coin is not one that is commonly circulated today.




The image of a coin on a keychain is one neat way to bring coins to the fore. This is especially fun with kids. And it's always best if you know some interesting trivia about the coin!

What I like about keychains is that they are appropriate everywhere. A t-shirt won't work in most office settings. But I need to pull out my keys half a dozen times a day. At the fast food restaurant or the local mega-mart...folks see my keychain. When I sit at a table at the library, I leave my keys on the table next to my books. Unobtrusive. But an effective way to get folks involved in the greatest hobby in the world. And for under Three Bucks, it's something I can enjoy even if nobody else is around.

Coin Show This Weekend -- Woo-Hoo!

I enjoy going to coin shows. And this weekend there is going to be a show in Grapevine, TX. That's just 9.6 miles from my house! That's great news for me!
How do I prepare for a show? Before the show I will have decided what types of coins I will concentrate on. (This time it will be Lincoln Cents, Indian Head Cents and Mercury Dimes.) I read up on them so that I know what to look for, and I know if a dealer is being honest. They almost always are. The addage, "Read the book before you buy the coin," is great advice.

I like going to the shows early. If I get to the venue within the first half hour of the show's opening there are usually not many people there. The aisles are clear. The dealers are ready to sell, but don't have anyone to do business with yet. That's great because most of them are willing to chat.
I usually try to talk with dealers who are knowledgable and friendly. I talk about coins that I don't know very well. I tell them that I don't really know what I'm looking at, and they are almost always willing to spend some time with me. I'm amazed at the depth of knowledge that some of these dealers have! They usually don't make big sales with me, but you can be sure that I remember who it is that treats me well. And you can be sure that if they treat me well, they have a much better chance of getting future business from me.

What do I take with me?
1. A list of coins I am looking for.
2. A magnifying glass.
3. A pad on which I can take notes.
4. An attitude which says, "I don't have to buy anything here today." Too many people rush in and buy something from the first dealer they see, whether they want the coin or not. And too many people just can't walk out the door without a new coin in their pocket. The world will not end if you don't spend your money. Make wise decisions!

I promise, I'll try!

Coin Book List Started! Is Your Favorite Here?

The adage in the coin sorld is "buy the book before you buy the coin." That's good advice! With any collectible you need to do your research before you buy the product. I'm starting to put together a list of coin books which can be found at Squidoo's Coin Books Lens. If the book is available on Amazon I'm including a link there as well. I hope to hear from collectors about books that I am not yet aware of so that I can add these to the list as well.

Sales Start for Puerto Rico Quarters Bags / Two-Roll Sets

I received this notification concerning sales of the Puerto Rico State Quarter this morning. I have noticed that many of the US Mint's products have been selling out quickly recently, so if you are accumulating these it would be a good idea for you to act early!

The reverse design features a view of the sea from a sentry box in Old San Juan. Pictured at right is the hibiscus, the official flower of Puerto Rico. The reverse was designed and sculpted by Joseph Menna.
The inscriptions read “Puerto Rico,” “Isla del Encanto” (which translates to English as "Island of Enchantment"), “E Pluribus Unum,” and the date.
Mintage:53,000,000-Philadelphia, 86,000,000-Denver.

I'm working on some updates for Squidoo coin lenses.

Lincoln Cent 2-Roll Set Sold Out

It appears that due to high demand for the two roll set of Lincoln Cents bearing the log cabin design, the coins have have already sold out!
The sets (which contained $1.00 face value in pennies) were priced at $8.95 plus $4.95 shipping and handling (a price which is well in line with other numismatic issues from the Mint). They were also subject to a five set per household limit. Despite these obstacles the coins sold out less than two weeks after their March 13, 2009 release.
With such a high demand for the Bicentennial Cents already having been demonstrated, I hope that the Mint will consider increasing production for the other three penny designs set to be released later in the year.

Shiny Silver vs Dull Gray

I was at a Coin Show in Fort Worth, TX about a week ago. I was chatting with a dealer when a gentleman carrying a Whitman folder stepped up to the table. Since I was chatting rather than doing business, I stepped aside. But I remained at the table looking at some of the coins in the display case.

I wasn't really eavesdropping, but I listened to the conversation that ensued. The potential customer had begun thinking about the coins he had when he was a boy and dug through his possessions to locate the collection. He was amazed to find that one of his folders was almost complete. He brought the folder with him with the intention of filling in one or more of the empty slots.

He showed the dealer his collection. Mercury Dimes. Four empty slots. (I didn't pay close enough attention to hear what was missing.) From what I could see, the coins probably ranged in condition from Fine to one or two coins which may have approached AU, with the majority of coins toward the lower end of the scale.

As the dealer looked over the coins, the customer was amazed to find that the dealer had one of the missing coins prominently displayed in the case. A nice coin. MS-63. The customer asked to see the coin. As the dealer handed him the coin I noticed that he looked the coin over briefly. He didn't have any kind of magnifying glass. He looked at the obverse of the coin, never turning the flip over to look at the reverse. The dealer watched the customer closely, and didn't say a thing.

"How much?"

The dealer quoted him a price and the customer said that was within his price range.

Done deal? Nope!

"What are you trying to do with your collection?" asked the dealer. "What's your goal? Why are you collecting?"

The questions were asked very conversationally, and the customer indicated that he had enjoyed having coins when he was a boy. He thought it would be kind of nice to be able to "complete" the collection by "filling in" the empty slots.

The dealer began to talk to the customer. He was teaching as he went along. He described the grading process. He told the customer what he could expect in a coin which was graded MS-63. He lent the man a magnifying glass and told him how to look at the coin. The man turned the coin over and looked at the back of the coin. He turned the coin so that he could look at the coin from different angles, and he began to understand what he was seeing.

Then the dealer picked up another coin. Same date and mint mark. MS-60. "Look at this one, and tell me what you see. What is the difference?"

The customer looked carefully, but told the dealer that he really didn't notice much difference between the coins. Then he looked at another dime, this one an MS-40.

"What do you think of that coin?"

"It's pretty nice too. Just not as shiny"

Then the dealer began anew. He told the man that he would be glad to sell him any of the three coins. He told the customer that one of the things to think about was consistency within the collection. If he intended to begin upgrading the collection it would probably be very appropriate to invest in the coin with the higher grade. If he was simply "filling in slots" it may not really make sense to put the money into the better coin, especially since he really didn't notice the difference. In fact, if it were him, he'd probably purchase the MS-60 rather than the MS-63.

"You know, I often tell people to collect 'dull gray' rather than 'shiny silver.'" Make a decision based on what you want to do with the collection rather than just buying the "best" coin available. In fact, the 'dull gray' often has 'more character' than the 'shiny silver.'

The customer nodded, and said that the MS-40 really was more like the other coins in the book. But he really did want a 'nicer' coin. He put the MS-40 aside and looked at the two better coins. The price difference was almost $200.

"Think about it, I'll hold 'em both for you for 30 minutes. Go ahead and look around, I'll still be here."

The customer walked away, folder in hand, with the slot still unfilled.

"He'll be back," the dealer said to me. "He'll be a whole lot happier with the MS-60. It's a better match for his collection. And if he buys the MS-60 and comes into my shop next week wanting the higher grade, I'll give him credit against the new coin for what he paid for it."

The customer came back fifteen minutes later and made his purchase . . . the MS-60 rather than the MS-63. He walked away smiling, promising to "come by the shop" in a couple weeks to look at some other coins.

Good Teacher. Wise Dealer. Good business.

Can't Ever Learn Enough!

The more you learn about a hobby the more fun it is . . . at least that's been my experience. And it seems that no matter how many times I read coin reference books I always learn more. I've decided to start upgrading my Lincoln Cent collection, and I'm returning to the book that I always go back to, David W. Lange's Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents.

This book is really complete in what it covers, although it ends with 1995. I'd love to see a new edition published.

This time I'm looking to fill in a few holes in the collection and to upgrade some of the coins in the teens.

The other thing that I want to do over the next few weeks is obtain several uncirculated rolls of the new Lincoln Cents. I'm not as pleased with the first of the series, depicting the cabin in Kentucky, as I am with the designs which will be coming out later this year, but I'm always excited to see a new design. I'm also looking forward to seeing the new design that will be minted starting in 2010.
