MOREHEAD STATE PROFILES LIANNA SPURRIER

The convergent media major at Morehead State and coin collector was recently featured in Coin Week after she produced a short documentary on the first coins in America, which led to a series of other job offers.

Spurrier has a collection consisting of an estimated 200 foreign coins and well-over 1,000 domestic.

One of her favorite coins is a replica of the Plan Obverse Quint, which is the first coin that was minted under the U.S. Government. She won the replica through an Instagram contest ran by David McCarthy, who identified the Plan Obverse Quint’s title.

“I started doing some research and that one single coin led to producing a video that led to accidentally getting jobs,” said Spurrier.

Publishing isn’t new for the 21-year-old, who has a self-published novel titled, “Life in Polaroids,” but these articles and videos were centered around something much older, The Nova Constellatio coin series.

Spurrier said that it all happened very suddenly and “snowballed” into getting hired on as a freelance creator by two other publications, the Newman Numismatic Portal and the Colonial Coin Collectors Club.

The publications have requested six videos a piece, over a variety of coin related topics from collecting tips for those on a budget, non-circular foreign coins and the history of the penny.
