NBS BOOKBINDING DEMO: MARBLED PAPER

NBS Bookbinding Demo at ANA Convention

Our bookbinding term of the week is “marbled paper,” which was sometimes used in older books for the front and rear pastedowns. Wikipedia explains the manufacture: “A shallow tray is filled with water, and various kinds of ink or paint colors are carefully applied to the surface with an ink brush. Various additives or surfactant chemicals are used to help float the colors.” Once the desired pattern is achieved, a sheet of paper is pressed into the solution, and the image transfers (in reverse) to the sheet. For our demo at the ANA, we will have several types of marbled paper to choose from, such as this “French marble peacock” example.

NEW BOOK: MEGA RED 9TH EDITION

The ninth edition of Mega Red (the Deluxe Edition of the Guide Book of United States Coins) is available for sale. The 1,504-page book can be ordered online (including at Whitman.com) and is available from booksellers and hobby shops nationwide.

The new ninth-edition Mega Red includes updates and revisions in every U.S. coinage series. As a special feature, it includes 178 pages of expanded study of quarter eagle gold coins—the $2.50 denomination issued from 1796 to 1929. Every type, date, and mintmark of these valuable and collectible gold coins is individually studied. Coverage includes history, illustrated grading standards, mintage information (including for rare early Proofs), strike characteristics, data on logotypes and other die characteristics, estimated field populations in Mint State and circulated grades, collectible die varieties, selected historical auction records, and more. This in-depth analysis covers all eight major quarter eagle types from the Capped Bust coins of the 1790s to the Indian Head coinage that concluded just before the Great Depression.

More than a dozen appendices explore specialized subjects such as patterns, error and misstruck coins, and counterfeits. One richly illustrated 43-page appendix, based on the work of Q. David Bowers and Katherine Jaeger, studies the history and collecting of American medals and tokens. Another in-depth appendix covers the American Arts Commemorative Series gold medallions of 1980 to 1984. Numismatists Jeff Shevlin and William D. Hyder contributed an 18-page study of So-Called Dollars with photographs, historical information, rarity data, and values for nearly 100 different examples struck to celebrate expositions of the 1880s. Other appendices describe the United States Mint’s upcoming coinage programs for 2024 and beyond.

NEW BOOK: U.S. TREASURY NOTES, 1812-1865

A fresh perspective on the history of United States paper money arrives with Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ publication of United States Treasury Notes 1812-1865: An Illustrated History, by Nicholas J. Bruyer. Bridging the gap between the Continental Currency of the Revolutionary War and the paper money issued by the United States to fund the Civil War, the 271-page hard cover book chronicles how the Treasury repeatedly used Treasury notes as a form of national currency in its times of greatest need.

Peter Treglia, Director of Currency at Stack’s Bowers Galleries stated "Nicholas J. Bruyer's insightful book not only sheds light on the importance of various types and issues of currency, but it also unravels the mysteries that collectors and scholars have long pondered. With meticulous research and a keen eye for detail, Bruyer masterfully connects the dots, providing the answers to longstanding questions. From the earliest days of U.S. issued Treasury Notes to the Civil War, this book serves as a definitive resource, furthering our understanding of our nation's monetary heritage. Prepare to embark on an enlightening journey as Bruyer weaves together the threads of history, offering profound insights and a newfound appreciation for the importance of early US Treasury Notes.”

NEW BOOKS: CHINESE, SIAMESE GAMING PIECES

Cast Chinese Gaming Pieces
Various classes of objects were omitted from “Cast Chinese Amulets” (by this author), as their primary use was for gaming, rather than the bringing of good fortune. This book is intended to make good this omission. The pieces covered are:

Horse Coins, a Song Dynasty game played with counters bearing the names of famous horses and generals.

Chess Pieces, the well-known game of Chinese Chess, still played to this day.

Select An Immortal. A game played during the Song dynasty using counters with illustrations of one of the Immortals, and a short poem describing their activities.

Wine Drinking Game Coins. These are counters dating back to the time of the Han dynasty, and were used for a variety of drinking games.

Study of these pieces gives an insight to Chinese history and traditions; full details of this are given for each piece.

NEW BOOK: THE MEDAL IN EARLY MODERN SWEDEN

The Medal in Early Modern Sweden

From the Renaissance and onwards, the medal has been an important element of European art and visual culture. It was appreciated for its symbolic and material value. However, much of its significance lies in the fact that it affects multiple senses and not sight alone. Recipients can touch and hold it, wear it, trace the engraved portrait with their fingers, or place it in a cabinet drawer. How people engaged with medals and which significance this medium gained and lost unearths how visual media and early modern art were used over time. From the 16th to the 18th century, the medal changes shapes and meanings, inspires and assumes tendencies from other visual expressions, and one can trace European culture and politics through it.

THE RABBIT HOLE OF THE 1909 WHEAT CENT

An Exploration of 1909 and 1910 Lincoln Cent Varieties

Recently added to the Newman Portal is Shawn Tew’s The Rabbit Hole of the 1909 Wheat Cent, a work supported in part by a grant from the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. In this work, Tew synthesizes the current technical research related to this coin and uses material from the National Archives to provide context for the design changes made early in the life of the Lincoln cent, the most ubiquitous coin in recorded history.

The interplay between Victor D. Brenner and Charles Barber is fascinating, as the efforts to bring artistry to the nation’s coinage come into conflict with the quotidian concerns of day-to-day coinage production. Tew summarizes the known varieties for the 1909 and 1910 cents, one of which reuses a reverse from 1909. Tew leaves no stone unturned and integrates test results from the Center for Advanced Microscopy at Michigan State University, in order to analyze the relief profiles of the reverse dies. The work concludes with analysis of a remarkable hoard of Lincoln cents put away in 1909 and not fully examined until today.

MUSEUM ACQUIRES VINCIT AMOR PATRIAE MEDAL

The American militia men were hidden in the bushes having lunch and playing cards when they heard the horse galloping toward them. Springing from their lookout post near Tarrytown, N.Y., they confronted a stranger who was seemingly in a great hurry.

He was Maj. John André, head of British secret intelligence. But on this day, Sept. 23, 1780, he was disguised as a civilian, “John Anderson.”

Stuffed in André’s boot were papers that laid out how to successfully take the American fort at West Point. He had only received the information two days earlier from Benedict Arnold, the commander of the fort, and André now was riding south in the hope of getting back behind the British lines.

ELIZABETH CAMPBELL'S NAILS TO NICKELS

My mother passed away last year. My siblings and I are still going through all the stuff stashed away at her house. I came across a box called "Julia's Books" and in it, I found a copy of "Nails to Nickels." I don't remember this book as a child but I love it that my mother packed it away for me. I have five older siblings and this book predates me (it's a first edition) so it could have belonged to any one of them first, but my mother made sure it got to me.

It's a wonderful children's book! I'm impressed that the author was so comprehensive in the story.

I found a newspaper article from the June 30, 1960 Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch that relates how Elizabeth Campbell got the idea for the book.

THE 2009 TEN PENCE MULE ERROR

I'm curious to learn more about an extremely rare 2009 Great Britain currency 10 pence. Evidently there are only 2 or three known pieces making it arguably the rarest decimal coin struck. It was sold in the Noonan's Auction of 7-8 June, 2023 as Lot #508 and fetched 1300 pounds plus the commission.

As a collector of British coins (mainly late predecimal milled copper and silver) I found this coin interesting and could find precious little about it except for an additional specimen sold by London Coins in 2015. I don't believe it has been formally published.

TASSIE COIN IMPRESSIONS

First, I want to say how pleased I am to find a real person to ask a question about numismatics. It’s not my field, except tangentially, and I have been looking for someone with a broad knowledge of the field to ask a question of – you seem to fit the description.

Second, a little background about how I found you and an answer to a question you asked sixteen years ago. While surfing the web looking for all things “Nathaniel Marchant”, I came across your diary entry of 7 Aug 2007 in which you described your visit to the Soane Museum in London. You saw the portrait of Marchant labeled, “Nathaniel Marchant R.A. Die Sinker To the MINT" and asked, “Was he an engraver at the Royal Mint?” The short answer is found in Seidmann’s article (which you mention) ’NATHANIEL MARCHANT, GEM-ENGRAVER 1739-1816', Walpole Society, vol. LIII, 1987, pp. 1-105. By G. Seidmann, It can be found and downloaded at https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/41829502.pdf (There is a charge unless you have academic connections.)

In the article, p22, she states, “The first 'place' to which he was appointed, in 1797, was as probationer or apprentice engraver at the Mint, replacing John Milton (who had used Mint facilities for unauthorized purposes) under Pingo as Chief Engraver. In this post, and subsequently that of Assistant Engraver, performed his duties 'with diligence and fidelity', until superannuated for reasons 'age and infirmities' in 1815, only a few months before his death.”

HIGGINS MUSEUM COIN AND BANK BAGS

You are brave for venturing into the bank bag / coin bag / deposit pouch field.

They are partly utilitarian for coin, bank notes, and document transport and storage and partly serving an advertising / customer convenience purpose.

Attached are representative photos of bags in the Higgins Museum reference collection. We have plenty of them, with litte duplication.

As to the Coin Bags, note the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago bag formerly said Gold Coin, and from the production code 5,000 were made or ordered on April 21 1933.

VOCABULARY TERM: NEGATIVE SHADOW

Negative Shadow. Flow marks on tin and tin alloy compositions which form a permanent bright “shadow” in contrast to the remaining surface of a struck piece which has darkened from exposure to cold temperature. Tin has this unusual property; it does not work harden like other coinage compositions. Instead, its surface displacement during striking causes the flow marks to form a permanent bright area, somewhat like bright finish on other metals. Tin, tin alloys, including white metal, will darken in time, called darkening, from a mild condition of tin pest. This darkening is brought on from another property of tin – it is unstable below 18° centigrade (64° Fahrenheit). Prolonged exposure to cold temperatures first causes this dark toning on all surfaces that do not exhibit negative shadow. Continued exposure will cause unstable metallic tin (beta-tin) changing to the stable powdery form (alpha-tin) on the surface. The darkened area is in stark contrast to the bright areas of negative shadow. See tin, white metal.

GENE HESSLER TURNS 95

I have some great memories from the 1991 Centennial ANA Convention. At the time I was conducting interviews for American Numismatic Biographies. On the morning of August 15, I sat outside before the bourse opened. For about an hour I sat with John J. Ford and heard some great stories. A few of them I was able to print.

As the show was winding down, I walked through the exhibit area. Gene Hessler was there packing up his exhibit. I knew Gene from an interview I had done in May. At his side was the Howland Wood Memorial Award that he had won for his “Best of Show” exhibit. This was the first time I really thought about the award. Five years later I received the same award.

MIKE DIAMOND INTERVIEW, PART ONE

Greg Bennick: Mike, thanks for taking some time to answer some questions today. Can you tell me a little about your background?

Mike Diamond: Well, I’m semi-retired now. I work as a freelance writer. I write for Coin World. I used to be a teacher, teaching biological anthropology and cultural anthropology. Before that I taught human gross anatomy and other courses necessary for basic health sciences. I have a Ph.D. in biological anthropology from the University of Chicago. Coins are a hobby that allow me to exercise my brain. I haven’t done any active scientific research for quite a while, so this keeps my neurons firing and lets me work on my writing skills, too.

Greg Bennick: How did you get involved with error collecting? How and when did that come about?

Mike Diamond: I had a brief flirtation when I was in high school in the early 1970s, and quite probably it started when I picked up Frank Spadone’s terrible book on errors, which I didn’t know was terrible at the time. (Note: Major Variety and Oddity Guide of United States Coins, by Frank G. Spadone, Krause Publications, Iola WI)

THOMAS HIPSCHEN: FACE VALUE

Though few Washingtonians know of him, most of us carry some of Thomas Hipschen’s art every day. His portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, and Ben Franklin are cut into American history, printed on the front of the $5, $20, $50, and $100 bills.

Hipschen is considered one of the world’s best portrait engravers. “For the late 20th century, he is basically the engraver,” says Mark D. Tomasko, author of The Feel of Steel, a history of currency engraving in the United States.

BEN FRANKLIN'S MONEY PRINTING TECHNIQUES

The best thing about newspapers is you never know what you're going to find. The New York Times reports on a paper about Benjamin Franklin's printing techniques that was just printed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The Times story says, "During his printing career, Franklin produced a stream of baroque, often beautiful money. He created a copper plate of a sage leaf to print on money to foil counterfeiters: The intricate pattern of veins could not easily be imitated. He influenced a number of other printers and experimented with producing new paper and concocting inks."

Here's a link to the Times article:

INTERVIEW: EASY MONEY AUTHOR DROR GOLDBERG

While you were working on this project, what did you learn that surprised you the most? I was surprised to learn how interesting early American history was. As a foreign economist, without a British or Christian background, all I knew about the colonial period before starting this project was Mayflower, Thanksgiving, and the Salem witch trials.

Later, I was surprised to learn how valuable my perspective could be, exactly because I was such a complete outsider. The subject of my investigation—a currency issued by Massachusetts in 1690—has been known to historians for centuries. The perspective of an economist (with legal training) was necessary to appreciate the global historical significance of this invention. This culturally distanced perspective allowed me to investigate and explore this history with fewer preconceived notions about England vs. America, a preference for a region within America or a Christian denomination, or a penchant for seeing everything as leading to the American Revolution.

BOB FRITSCH, NEWEST KNIGHT OF ST. ELIGIUS

With great pleasure and honor Frank Galindo, Chancellor, St. Eligius Numismatist Brotherhood, U.S.A. (a branch of the Saint Eligius Brotherhood of Numismatists of Canada), has inducted and welcomed Robert (Bob) F. Fritsch, FRCNA, FONA as a life fraternal brother, and Knight of St. Eligius. Bob is in good company, as there are very distinguished Knights in the United States (including Puerto Rico), Canada, Germany, France, Hungary, and some other European countries, as well as some South American countries. Knights come from different professions, such as professors, doctors, scientists, business executives, educators, artists, authors, religious leaders, veterans, and retirees. One thing in common with all Knights, is their generous spirit, their advancement of numismatic education and the science of numismatics, their volunteerism, their fostering of fellowship, and their help in growing and sustaining the numismatic hobby for the enjoyment of others.

As Frank is unable to travel beyond an area in his home state of Texas, he was delighted to have other Knights present to Bob during the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association’s annual convention held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, this month.

WAYNE'S NUMISMATIC DIARY: JULY 23, 2023

Tuesday July 18, 2023 brought the monthly meeting of my Northern Virginia numismatic social group Nummis Nova. Mike Packard was our host, and he chose Maggiano's Little Italy in the Galleria at Tyson's II mall. This was the site of our second meeting in November 2007, a memorable event where many of us met for the first time (the initial gathering the month before was just myself, Roger Burdette and Wayne Herndon). Here's a group shot of the whole crew.

CELTIC GOLD HOARD THEFT ARRESTS

The break-in looked like the work of professionals.

It began after midnight on Nov. 22, 2022, when someone cut fiber optic cables at a telecommunications center in the small German town of Manching, in Bavaria, knocking out internet and telephone connections in 13,000 households.

Then, just before 1:30 a.m., the Celtic and Roman Museum was broken into. Within nine minutes, thieves had pried open two locked doors and a display case, the police said.

HOARD COINS SWITCHED FOR BETTER EXAMPLES

A treasure inquest has heard how three coins went missing from a 56-strong Roman coin hoard discovery, only to be mysteriously replaced with ones in better condition.

The more valuable replacements were noticed when photographs taken of the original first batch of money found did not match the currency sent to the British Museum for identification.

THE ANCIENT COINS OF POMPEY THE GREAT

ROMAN ARISTOCRAT AND general Gnaeus Pompeius (better known to English speakers as “Pompey”) was a pivotal figure in the events that led to the collapse of the Roman Republic. Coins issued in his name, or by his sons and supporters, document and illustrate a dramatic period of Roman history.

Born September 29, 106 BCE in the Italian province of Picenum, he was the son of Pompeius Strabo, a rich landowner who became a Roman senator and eventually consul in 89 BCE. At the age of 16, young Pompey accompanied his father on campaign in the Social War.

In the bloody and protracted civil wars that wracked the dying decades of the Roman republic, young Pompey sided with the dictator Sulla, raising and training an army at his own expense. In recognition of Pompey’s victories, Sulla awarded him the honorific title of Magnus (“the Great”) which appears on the coins in place of his given name. In 67 BCE, he was voted extraordinary powers to suppress the Cilician pirates, who had paralyzed Mediterranean trade and were threatening Rome’s vital imported grain supply. Public confidence in Pompey was so great that the price of bread dropped on the day he was appointed. Within three months, he swept the pirates from the seas. In 60 BCE, he formed a political alliance, the “First Triumvirate”, with Marcus Licinius Crassus, the richest man in Rome, and Gaius Julius Caesar, an ambitious up-and-coming politician. Their political enemies called it the “three-headed monster.” Pompey cemented his alliance with Julius Caesar by marrying Caesar’s daughter, Julia. Pompey was elected consul three times; in 70, 55, and 52 BCE; on the first occasion, he was not even a Senator, which was unprecedented.

ADMIRAL WILLIAM WALDEGRAVE'S VICTORY MEDAL

The London goldsmith James Morisset is known to have made five two-colour gold boxes granting freedom of the City of London to naval heroes. Two of them are now in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich but that issued to Admiral William Waldegrave, First Baron Radstock (1753-1825), was offered at Christie’s as part of the Exceptional Sale on July 6.

The enamelled scene to the lid of this box shows the moment Jervis in HMS Victory, closely supported by Waldegrave in the Barfleur, approached the Spanish ship Salvadore del Mundo and poured a broadside into its hull.

Additional battle scenes decorate the sides alongside the arms of the city of London, the arms of Waldegrave and the monogram WW.
