THE HALF DOLLARS SAD DEMISE
or 170 years, half dollars were a vital part

of U.S. coinage.
They were consigned to second-class
status in 1964, when Congresscaught up in
the national mourning after President John F.
Kennedys assassinationchose the half dollar
as the coin to bear JFKs image as a visible form
of honor to the slain president.
This living tribute sounded the death knell
for the half dollar as a circulating coinfor
Kennedys admirers around the globe pulled
the new halves from circulation as fast as the
U.S. Mint could make them, viewing them
as inexpensive, yet official, government-issued
mementos.
Older half dollars soon disappeared, as well,
because their silver content was worth more
as metal than as money.
And the government
compounded the problem
by keeping reduced silver
content in Kennedy halves
from 1965 to 1970, causing them to be hoarded,
as well.
In retrospect, the legislation authorizing the Kennedy half dollar, passed
in December 1963, might
have been titled The
Act of 1963 to Effectively
Eliminate the United States Half Dollar.
Hindsight is always 20-20but looking back,
its easy to see where well-meaning people went
wrong in pushing through this ill-conceived
measure.
Up to then, the half dollar had been a usefuland widely usedcoin, one that dated
back to the nations formative years and had
long been the largest and highest-value coin in
most peoples pocket change. Its mintages were
modest, for the most part, but large enough
to ensure an adequate supply for the needs
of commerce. Most people spent half dollars
routinely, and merchants reserved a place for
them in their cash drawers.
Without question, bad luck played a part
in the demise of the half dollar. But to some
extent, so did bad judgment. The price of silver already had risen alarmingly, and it was
becoming increasingly clear that traditional
90-percent-silver U.S. coins were an endangered speciesthat in all likelihood, the silver
content would have to be removed or greatly
reduced within the foreseeable future.
Realizing this, Congress should have been
cautious in changing the design of any silver
coin, for this would amount to a double whammy: The new coin would be subject to the kind
of initial hoarding that always accompanies
change in U.S. coinageand, at the same time,
any 90-percent-silver coins, either old or new,
would be set aside because of their precious
metal content.
As things turned out, Congress and the
nation got the worst of
both worlds. The new half
dollar was hoarded with a
vengeancenot so much
because it was new and
different, but because it
portrayed JFK and people
all over the world treated
it almost like a religious
relic. Then, a year later,
the other shoe dropped:
Silver was removed from
the dime and quarter and
reduced to 40 percent in
the half dollar, and all the older halves became
the object of widespread hoarding, too.
It seems obvious now that instead of using
the regular-issue half dollar to honor President
Kennedy, Congress should have authorized
a one-time commemorative coin, much as
Britain did in 1965 to memorialize Winston
Churchill after his death. Then the Mint could
have gone on making Franklin half dollars in
the new clad composition, just as it did with
Roosevelt dimes and Washington quarters.
The Mint hasnt made half dollars for use in
commerce since 2001. It strikes them today
strictly for inclusion in proof and mint sets and
other products sold at a premium to collectors.
Its a sad epilogue for a coin with such a long,
rich history.

PRESIDENTIAL DOLLAR NO. 38:
Gerald R. Ford
The Appointed Leader of a
Deeply Divided Nation
by Ron Meyer
(EDITORS NOTE: This is the 37th in a series
of articles about U.S. presidents. A different
president will be profiled each time the United States Mint issues a coin in his honoror
eventually, perhaps, in her honoras part of
its series of Presidential $1 coins. Although
Grover Cleveland is recognized as both the
22nd and 24th president because he served two
non-consecutive terms, our series included
only one article on him. Thus, while Gerald
Ford was the 38th president, this is only the 37th
article in our series.)

erald R. Ford holds the distinction of being the only

man who never sought the
offices of vice president
or president of the United
States, yet ended up holding both.
On Dec. 6, 1973, Ford became the first
person appointed to the vice presidency when
Congress approved his nomination following
the resignation of former Vice President Spiro
T. Agnew, who had resigned while facingcorruption charges.
Then, on Aug. 9, 1974, Ford became the 38th
president after disgraced President Richard
M. Nixon resigned earlier that day to preclude
his all-but-certain impeachment and removal

from office because of the Watergate scandal.
In Fords first address to the nation as president, he said: My fellow Americans, our long
national nightmare is over.
These nine simple words lifted the spirits
of a country weary of the Vietnam War and
scandals. Later in his address, Ford acknowledged his path to the Oval Office.
I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your president by your ballots, he
said. And so I ask you to confirm me as your
president with your prayers.
Fords genial, down-to-earth personality
was in sharp contrast to the dour Nixon and
COINage
PUBLIC DOMAIN
Ford was a top-ranked football player at Michigan who was offered a contract by two National
Football League teams.
In foreign affairs, Ford continued Nixons

pursuit of detente with the Soviet Union and
China. In 1975, he followed Nixons visit to
China with a visit of his own. He also signed
the Helsinki Accords, a series of agreements
aimed at easing tensions between the capitalistic West and the communist East.
Also in 1975, Ford tried but failed to persuade Congress to provide military aid to
South Vietnam after North Vietnamese forces
invaded South Vietnam. The Souths fall was
followed by a chaotic American withdrawal.
In 1976, Ford sought the Republican nomi-
Ford served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 25 years, but in all that time
he never expressed a desire to be president.
He often said his ambition was to be House
speaker.
Republicans were in the minority for all but

two of Fords years in the House, making the
possibility of his being speaker moot. But the
GOPs minority status did not hinder his rise
within his party.
In 1965, Fords reputation for honesty and
integrity earned him the prestigious post of
minority leader. He held that post when Nixon
nominated him for vice president after Agnew
resigned in a scandal unrelated to Watergate.
Unfortunately for Ford, as president he
developed an undeserved reputation as a nottoo-bright bumbler who fell down airplane
stairs and preferred to watch football rather
than attend to the affairs of state.
The truth is, Ford was a very bright man
who graduated near the top of his classes
at the University of Michigan and Yale Law
School. He also was athletically gifted.
Ford was a top-ranked football player at
Michigan who was offered a contract by two
National Football League teams. Later in
life, he became an accomplished skier and a
solid golfer.
Ford also was saddled with a high-pitched
voice. He was neither a compelling speaker
nor especially charismatic.
As president, Ford faced an economy beset

with inflation and rising unemployment. In a
bid to ease inflation, he asked Americans to
control their spending and consumption voluntarily. He even asked them to wear WIN
buttons, WIN being an acronym for Whip
Inflation Now.
Ford also urged tax hikes to stem inflation, but when unemployment rose, he did an
about-face and called for tax cuts to stimulate
the economy.
nation for president. Former Gov. Ronald

Reagan of California, the leader of the GOPs
conservative wing, challenged him and came
close to winning the nomination.
Ford chose Kansas Sen. Bob Dole as his
running mate. They squared off against former Gov. Jimmy Carter of Georgia and Sen.
Walter Mondale of Minnesota, the respective
Democratic presidential and vice presidential
nominees.
Carter initially led Ford in polls by a wide
margin. Ford closed the gap and might have
won the election had he not committed a
major gaffe in a presidential debate. Carter
narrowly won both the popular and electoral vote.
On Jan. 20, 1977, Ford and first lady Betty
Ford left the White House and settled in
Colorado.
In his post-presidential years, Ford became
something of an elder statesman. He died in
December 2006.
This year, the United States Mint is paying tribute to Ford on the 38th installment in
the Presidential $1 Coin series, which honors
U.S. chief executives in the order in which they
served. Four presidents have been honored
each year since the program started in 2007,
but only three will be honored in 2016 because
the coins were authorized by Congress only
for former presidents who were dead at the
time their turn came up.
The George Washington $1 coin led off the
series in February 2007. It was followed that
year by coins for John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. From 2008 through
2015, the Mint issued four coins per year,
including two for Grover Cleveland.

the arrogant Agnew.

But one month later, Ford stunned the
nation by issuing Nixon a full, free and absolute pardon for any crimes he might have
committed in office. The pardon was widely
condemned, and it probably prevented Ford
from winning the White House in 1976.
Throughout Fords presidency and postpresidential years, he steadfastly argued that
even the possibility of putting Nixon on trial
would further divide a deeply divided nation.
He also pointed out that Watergate had been
consuming a disproportionate amount of
his time as presidenttime, he said, that he
should have been using to lead the nation.
Fords pardon of Nixon is still controversial,
but many historians have concluded that it
was the right step. In 2001, the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation presented its 2001
Profile in Courage Award to Ford. In pardoning Nixon, the foundation said, Ford placed
his love of country ahead of his own political
future and brought needed closure to the Watergate affair.
At the award ceremony, Sen. Ted Kennedy
of Massachusetts, JFKs brother, said: I was
one of those who spoke out against his action
then. But time has a way of clarifying past
events, and now we see that President Ford
was right. His courage and dedication to our
country made it possible for us to begin the
process of healing and put the tragedy of
Watergate behind us.

In a bid to ease ination, Ford asked Americans to wear Whip Ination Now (WIN)
buttons.
Ford is the second president to appear on

a $1 coin bearing the date 2016. He will be
followed in this by a coin honoring Ronald
Reagan.
Jimmy Carter, the 39th president, who succeeded Ford, is still living, and the law creating the presidential series stipulates that a
president must have been dead for at least two
years to be honored on one of the coins.
Each of the $1 coins bears a portrait of
the president on the obverse and a common
reverse depicting the Statue of Liberty. The
coins are being struck in the same base-metal
composition as the Sacagawea and Native
American golden dollars.
Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr. was born Leslie

Lynch King Jr. on July 14, 1913, in Omaha, Nebraska. His parents were Leslie Lynch King Sr.
and Dorothy Ayer Gardner King.
Leslie was a wool trader and the son of a
prominent banker. According to Dorothy, he
was physically abusive.
Dorothy and Leslie separated two weeks
after Geralds birth. She took her infant son to
her parents home in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
In December 1913, Leslie and Dorothy were
divorced.
On Feb. 1, 1916, Dorothy King married Gerald Rudolff Ford, a paint salesman who later
founded his own paint company. The future
president grew up in a family that included
younger half-brothers Thomas, Richard and
James. The Fords began calling Leslie Gerald
R. Ford Jr., but he did not legally change his
name until Dec. 3, 1935, spelling his middle
name Rudolph.
Gerald had known since age 13 that Gerald
14
www.coinagemag.com
Ford Sr. was not his biological father. In 1930,

he met Leslie King in Grand Rapids.
At South High School in Grand Rapids,
Ford was an excellent student and an outstanding athlete. He was named to the honor
society and the all-city and all-state football
teams. He also worked in the family paint
business and was active in Scouting, becoming an Eagle Scout in 1927.
After graduating from high school, Ford
entered the University of Michigan in 1931.
He played on the football team as center, linebacker and long snapper and helped the Wolverines to undefeated seasons and national
titles in 1932 and 1933.
Ford graduated from Michigan in 1935.
The Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers
offered him contracts, but he turned down
both in order to take coaching positions at
Yale University, where he hoped to attend law
school.
After initially being rejected because of his
coaching jobs, Ford was accepted into Yale
Law School in 1938. He earned his law degree
in 1941, graduating in the top quarter of his
class.
In 1941, he passed the Michigan Bar exam.
In May of that year, he opened a law practice
in Grand Rapids with Philip W. Buchen, who
later was Fords White House counsel.
But six months later, following Japans attack
on Pearl Harbor, Ford enlisted in the Naval
Reserve. On April 13, 1942, he was commissioned as an ensign.
He reported for duty to an instructor school
at Annapolis, Maryland. After a month of
training, he went to Navy Preflight School
in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, as one of 83
instructors. Ford taught elementary navigation skills, ordnance, gunnery, first aid and
military drill. He also coached in all nine
sports that were offered.
In May 1943, Ford was assigned to the USS
Monterey, a light aircraft carrier. The Monterey
participated in battles in the Gilbert Islands,
the Mariana Islands, the Western Caroline
Islands, Northern New Guinea and the Philippine Sea.
The ship launched airstrikes against Wake
Island and the Philippines and supported
Allied landings at Leyte and Mindoro.
The Japanese never hit the Monterey, but
the ship was damaged in a massive typhoon
COINage
on Dec. 19, 1944.

On Christmas Eve 1944, Ford was sent to
the Navy Pre-Flight School in California and
assigned to the Athletic Department until
April 1945. From the end of April 1945 to
January 1946, he was on the staff of the Naval
Reserve Training Command, Naval Air Station, in Glenview, Illinois. He was released
from active duty on Feb. 23, 1946.
After returning to Grand Rapids, Ford, a
self-confessed habitual joiner, became active
in local clubs and organizations, including the
Republican Party. In 1949, party leaders urged
him to challenge GOP Congressman Bartel
Jonkman.
Before the war, Ford had been an isolationist, but his views changed.
I came back a converted internationalist,
Ford later wrote. And of course our congressman at that time was an avowed, dedicated
isolationist. And I thought he ought to be
replaced.
Ford won both the primary and general
elections in landslides.
In August 1947, Ford met Elizabeth (Betty)

Bloomer Warren. She was a former model and
professional dancer in New York City. After
returning home to Grand Rapids, she became
a department store fashion coordinator and

dance teacher for handicapped children.
On Oct. 15, 1948, Gerald Rudolph Ford and
Elizabeth Bloomer Warren were married at
Grace Episcopal Church in Grand Rapids. He
was 35 and she was 30. They had three sons
and one daughter.
Fords honesty, integrity and strong interpersonal skills worked well for him in the
House. He got along with Republicans and
Democrats and liberals and conservatives in
both parties. His colleagues called him The
Congressmans Congressman.
In his 25 years in the House, Ford did not
write or sponsor any major bills. Rather, he
devoted his energy to building coalitions that
led to the passage of many major pieces of
bipartisan legislation.
In the 1950s, Ford backed several measures
aimed at ending school segregation. In 1964,
he voted for the landmark civil rights bill. As
the new Republican minority leader in 1965,
he helped guide the Voting Rights Act to final
passage.
In late 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson
appointed Ford to the Warren Commission,
which was charged with investigating the
Kennedy assassination.
Fords assignment was to assemble a biogra-
phy of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.

The commission found that Oswald was the
lone gunman, a conclusion Ford defended for
the rest of his life.
In November 1964, Republicans, already a
minority in the House, lost 36 seats in the
Johnson landslide. Three fellow Republicans
persuaded Ford to run for minority leader.
He agreed and went on to defeat Rep. Charles
Halleck of Indiana.
Beginning in 1965, Johnson submitted a
record number of spending bills as part of his
Great Society initiative. Ford and his Republicans did what they could to block many of
thembut being outnumbered more than 2
to 1, they were nearly powerless; 96 percent of
Johnsons bills became law.
By 1966, opposition to the Vietnam War was
heating up among left-leaning Democrats,
while conservatives were becoming sharply
critical of Johnsons handling of the war. In a
speech on the House floor, Ford questioned
whether Johnson had a real strategy to end
the war.
Johnson fired back that Ford had played too
much football without a helmet.
Ford and Sen. Everett Dirksen of Illinois,
the Republican Senate minority leader, held
joint televised press conferences in which they

offered alternatives to Johnsons policies. The

appearances were called The Ev and Jerry
Show. The press loved the shows, mostly
because of Dirksens biting wit and dulcet,
baritone voice.
Johnson did not share the love. He said,
Jerry Ford is so dumb he cant fart and chew
gum at the same time. The press reported it
as, Gerald Ford cant walk and chew gum at
the same time.
In January 1969, when Nixon became
president, Ford advocated the White House
agenda. One of his main achievements was
shepherding through Nixons 1973 plan for
revenue sharing. Under the plan, the federal
government shared revenue with state and
local governments with no strings attached.
On Oct. 10, 1973, Agnew resigned and entered a plea deal to charges of tax evasion and
money laundering. Nixon asked senior congressional leaders about a replacement.
House Speaker Carl Albert later said: The
advice was unanimous. We gave Nixon no
choice but Ford.
Acting under the 25th Amendment, passed
after the Kennedy assassination, Nixon nominated Ford for vice president. On Nov. 27,
1973, the Senate approved him, 92-3; on Dec.
6, the House approved him, 387-35.
At the time of Fords swearing, the Watergate scandal was slowly destroying Nixon. By
early August 1974, the presidents role in the
scandal had been proved, and he faced certain
impeachment. Nixons only viable option was
to resign, which he did on Aug. 9.
Moments after Nixons resignation took
effect at noon, Ford took the oath as 38th
president in the White House East Room.
One of his first moves was to nominate a
vice president. On Aug. 20, he chose Republican Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New
York. Although some conservative Republicans opposed Rockefeller, Congress confirmed him.
By early September, Fords popularity was
soaring. But then, with a stroke of his pen, he
sent his own poll numbers tumbling by offering Nixon a full pardon for crimes he might
have committed in Watergate.
Several people charged that Ford had granted the pardon in exchange for Nixons resignation, which later made Ford president. But on

Oct. 17, 1974, Ford testified before the House

Judiciary Committee that he had not made
any deal with Nixon and repeated his claim
that he acted in the countrys interest.
On Sept. 16, Ford further damaged his public standing, especially among Republicans, by
announcing a conditional amnesty program
for Vietnam War draft dodgers and military
deserters. Those seeking amnesty had to reaffirm their allegiance to the United States and
work two years in a public service job, or
a total of two years service for those who
had served less than two years of honorable
military service.
In November 1974, voters apparently
showed their disapproval of Fords actions by
handing Republicans a resounding defeat in
the congressional midterm elections. Democrats gained 49 seats in the House, leaving
them one vote short of a two-thirds majority.
They used their lopsided numbers to override
many of Fords vetoes.
Ford initially saw inflation as the top economic problem, and believed that controlling
it would ease unemployment. On Sept. 30,
1974, he created the Economic Policy Board.
On Oct. 4, 1974, Ford laid out his WIN
plan. Step One of WIN was to control the
publics spending and consumption. Over the
next nine days, 101,240 Americans mailed in
WIN pledges, but most serious observers saw
this as a publicity gimmick.
Ford also proposed a one-year, 5 percent
income tax increase on corporations and
wealthy individuals. He estimated that the
plan would push federal spending below $300
billion and ease the 12 percent national inflation rate.
But by May 1975, unemployment hit 9 percent. Ford responded by making job creation
his top priority. In January 1975, he proposed
a one-year, $16-billion tax cut, plus federal
spending cuts to re-ignite the economy.
Congress boosted the tax cuts to $22 billion,
but did not cut federal spending. The result
was little economic growth and greater federal
deficits.
Ford urged passage of the Equal Rights
Amendment. He declared Aug. 26, 1975, to be
Womens Equality Day. He even issued a presidential proclamation urging states to pass the
amendment. But the ERA failed to gain ratification under Ford or Carter and eventually the
time limit for ratification expired.
Ford had more success with the Education
for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975.
The act established special education across
the country.
Ford worked closely with Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger, a holdover from the Nixon
Administration. Ford and Kissinger continued seeking detente with the Soviet Union
and China.
In December 1975, Ford signed the Helsinki
Accords with the Soviet Union. The accords
created the Helsinki Watch, a non-governmental organization that monitors human
rights. It later became Human Rights Watch.
In the Middle East, Kissingers shuttle
diplomacy between Arab states and Israel
was going nowhere. Ford accused Israel of
stalling. He wrote, Their tactics frustrated
the Egyptians and made me mad as hell (A
Time to Heal, 1979).
In March 1975, Israel decided at the last
minute to halt further withdrawal from Arab
territory. Ford told Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin he had decided to reassess U.S.
policy.
Later in March, Ford met with congressional
leaders of both parties and informed them of
the reassessmentdiplomatic speak for canceling aid to Israel. From March to September
1975, the United States refused to conclude
any new arms agreements with Israel.
Fords policy upset many American Jews and
Israels congressional supporters. On May 21,
76 senators urged Ford to be responsive to
Israels request for $2.59 billion in military and
economic aid.
Ford was annoyed and thought the chance
for peace was jeopardized. He later said the
summer months were an American-Israeli
war of nerves or test of wills. Finally, both
sides signed an agreement on Sept. 1.
American combat operations in Vietnam
had ceased with the signing of the Paris Peace
Accords in January 1973. North Vietnam and
the Viet Cong had agreed to end their aggression in South Vietnam, and Nixon had promised South Vietnam aid if North Vietnam and
the Viet Cong broke the agreement.
In December 1974, North Vietnam invaded
a South Vietnamese province. Ford requested

other pictures Paul Von Hindenburg, who turned Germany
over to Hitler. Both coins have an unusual lettered edge. The
5 Reichsmark coin is about the size of a half dollar and is
struck in .900 fine silver. The 2 Reichsmark coin is about the
size of a quarter and is struck in .600 fine silver. The coins grade Very Fine.

Interesting World Coins Since 1970
Richard Nixons resignation elevated Ford to the ofce of President of the United States.
$522 million for South Vietnam, but Congress

said no.
Eventually, North Vietnamese forces overran South Vietnam.
In May 1975, shortly after the fall of Saigon
and the Khmer Rouge takeover of Cambodia, Cambodian forces seized the American
merchant ship Mayaguez. Ford sent Marines
to rescue the crew, but two military transport
helicopters carrying the Marines were shot
down. Forty-one U.S. soldiers were killed and
50 wounded. Approximately 60 Khmer Rouge
soldiers were killed.
Despite the American losses, the operation
was seen as a success in the United States. It
boosted Fords approval ratings 11 points.
In 1975, in separate incidents in California,
two women tried to assassinate Ford. The first
woman, Lynette Squeaky Fromme, pointed
a handgun at the president and pulled the
trigger, but even though the gun had four
bullets in its magazine, it did not have one in
the chamber.
A Secret Service agent grabbed the gun and
arrested Fromme, a follower of mass murderer Charles Manson. She was convicted
of attempted assassination and sentenced to
prison.
Seventeen days after the Fromme incident,
Sara Jane Moore pointed a gun at Ford in San
Francisco. Moore fired one shot but missed.
She was about to fire a second shot when an
ex-Marine grabbed the gun and forced her
to miss.
Moore also was arrested, convicted and sen-
tenced to prison.
Ford reluctantly agreed to run for president in 1976, but first he had to win the Republican nomination. Former governor Ronald Reagan disliked some of Fords policies
and thought a staunch conservative should be
president.
Reagan won several primaries, but eventually Ford prevailed. The conservative challenge
persuaded Ford to drop the liberal Rockefeller
in favor of Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas.
Ford faced off against Carter, a former governor of Georgia, and Sen. Walter Mondale
of Minnesota. Carter presented himself as an
outsider and a reformer, and he got votes from
many people angry about Watergate and the
Nixon pardon.
Ford and Carter took part in the first presidential debates since 1960. Many observers
said Ford won the first debate, but in the
second debate his claim that the Soviet Union
did not dominate Eastern Europe probably
cost him the election. Despite this gaffe, Ford
closed a huge gap in the polls, but on Election
Day he fell short.
Gerald and Betty Ford left the White

House on Jan. 20, 1977. They retired first to
Denver and later moved to Rancho Mirage,
California. Ford remained relatively active, but
over the years his health declined.
Ford was hospitalized several times in 2006.
He died Dec. 26, 2006, and was buried at the
Gerald R. Ford Museum in Grand Rapids.

FIRST LADY BETTY FORD

She Brought
Openness and Advocacy
PUBLIC DOMAIN
into the Limelight
by Ron Meyer
robably no other president and

first lady were more different
from their predecessors than
Gerald and Betty Ford were from
Richard and Pat Nixon.
Whereas Richard Nixon had a brooding and
perhaps even malevolent personality, Gerald
22
www.coinagemag.com
Ford was literally and figuratively a Boy Scout

his whole life.
And unlike Pat Nixon, who was tightly
controlled in public and seemed to prefer
the background, Betty Ford was spontaneous
and outspoken in public, especially on social
issues. She also loved the limelight. Betty was
a passionate supporter of the Equal Rights
Amendment, pro-choice on abortion, and a
leader in the womens movement.

As first lady, Betty commented on every hotbutton issue of her time, such as feminism, equal
pay for women, sex, drugs and gun control. Pat
Nixon usually kept her opinions to herself.
In 1974, Betty had the courage to go public
with her diagnosis of breast cancer. She did this
at a time when the disease was rarely discussed
in publicand having it was seen as a stigma.
COINage
This year, the U.S. Mint is offering a halfounce gold First Spouse commemorative coin
with a face value of $10 (but worth much more
as bullion) honoring Betty Ford. Specimens
of this piece are being sold in tandem with the
Presidential $1 Coin honoring her husband.
The obverse features a portrait of the former
first lady. The reverse depicts a young woman
ascending a staircase, representing Fords openness and advocacy regarding addiction, breast
cancer awareness and the rights of women.
The obverse of each coin is inscribed with the
honorees name, her order and years of service as
first spouse, the year of minting or issuance, and
the words IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY.
First Spouse Gold Coins honoring Betty Ford
went on sale March 25. The final coin in the
24-karat-gold First Spouse program, honoring
Nancy Reagan, was scheduled for release in July.
Elizabeth Anne Betty Bloomer was born

in Chicago on April 8, 1918, and was raised in
Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Her parents were William Stephenson Bloomer and Hortense Neahr Bloomer. William
was a salesman for the Royal Rubber Co. and
Hortenses family was in the furniture business.
Elizabeth was called Betty as a child. She had
two older brothers, Robert and William Jr.
Bettys mother believed that the social graces
were important for young girls. In 1926, she
enrolled her daughter at Calla Travis Dance
Studio in Grand Rapids, where Betty studied
ballet, tap and modern dance. She graduated in
1935 and was so enamored with dance that she
decided to pursue it as a career.
In 1929, following the stock market crash,
11-year-old Betty earned money by modeling
clothes. At 16, she taught younger children
such dances as the fox trot, the waltz and The
Big Apple. While a high school student, she
opened her own dance school, teaching children and adults.
August 2016
In 1934, William Bloomer Sr. died of carbon

monoxide poisoning while he was working
on his car in the family garage. His death was
ruled accidental, but rumors persisted that he
might have committed suicide.
Betty graduated from Central High School in
1936. She persuaded her mother to allow her
to attend the Bennington School of Dance in
Vermont for two summers.
At Bennington, Betty met Martha Graham.
The aspiring dancer began a long association
with the famed choreographer and continued her studies under her in New York City.
She became a member of Grahams Auxiliary Performance Troupe and performed at
Carnegie Hall.
Bettys mother strongly opposed her daughters desire to become a professional dancer.
Betty agreed to return home for six months.
After that time, her mother said, she could
return to New York if she still wanted to be
a dancer.
Betty never returned to New York. She realized that she probably lacked the talent to
become a star. Instead, she took a job as fashion
coordinator with Herpolsheimers department
store in Grand Rapids. She also organized a
dance group and taught dance.
In 1942, Betty Bloomer married William G.

Warren. The two had known each other since
1930. He was a traveling salesman, and the
young couple lived an itinerant life.
Warren was an alcoholic and in poor health.
Just before Betty decided to seek a divorce, Warren went into a coma. She looked after him for
two years until he recovered. On Sept. 22, 1947,
the two were divorced. They had no children.
In 1947, a mutual friend introduced Betty
Bloomer Warren to Gerald R. Ford, a recent

Navy veteran, lawyer and aspiring politician.
The two were smitten with each other. On Oct.
15, 1948, Gerald and Betty were married in
Grace Episcopal Church in Grand Rapids. He
was 35 and she was 30.
Gerald was tall and handsome, with sandy
hair, blue eyes and an athletic build. Betty was
petite, with brown hair and blue eyes.
The couple delayed their wedding shortly
before the 1948 congressional election, in
which he was the Republican candidate in
his district. As The New York Times reported
in 1974, Jerry was running for Congress and
wasnt sure how voters might feel about his
marrying a divorced ex-dancer.
Gerald won in a landslide, and the newlyweds
took up residence in Washington, D.C.
The Fords had four children: Michael Gerald,
born in 1950, John Gardner, known as Jack
(1952), Steven Meigs (1956) and Susan Elizabeth (1957).
Betty adapted well to the typical role of a

congressional spouse in 1949. The family lived
in Alexandria, Virginia, outside Washington.
Betty took care of the home and immersed
herself in her childrens schoolwork and their
interests in Scouting and sports. She also taught
Sunday school at Emmanual-on-the-Hill Episcopal Church.
Betty strongly supported Geralds congressional career. She did volunteer work with the Congressional Wives Club and was active with the
81st Congress Club and the National Federation
of Republican Women. She also led Michigan
constituents on tours of the capitol.
By 1973, when Gerald turned 60, he and Betty
began planning what they hoped would be a
US MINT
In her post-White House years, Ford went

public with her addiction to alcohol and the
drug Diazepam following an intervention by
her family. She got treatment for her problem
and went on to establish the Betty Ford Center,
which helps women battle substance abuse and
addiction.
Betty remained a strong advocate for womens
issues in her post-White House years.
She died in 2011 at age 93.

long and happy retirement. But a string of events

in Washington turned both the nation and the
Fords lives upside down.
First came Watergate, which began, in President Richard Nixons words, as a third-rate
burglary in June 1972. As journalists and
investigators traced evidence back to the White
House, Nixon himself became a suspect.
While Nixon was sinking into the Watergate
morass, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew came
under investigation for extortion, tax fraud,
bribery and conspiracy in his home state of
Maryland.
On Oct. 10, 1973, Agnew agreed to pleadno
contest to the charges in return for resigningas
vice president.
Acting under the 25th Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution, passed in the wake of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Nixon
consulted Congress on who he should nominate
for vice president. Gerald Ford was a nearly
unanimous choice.
On Dec. 6, 1973, Gerald R. Ford took the
oath of office as 40th vice president of the United
States. Betty Ford held the Bible on which her
husband placed his hand. The oath was administered by Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren
Burger.
Seven months later, the Fords were planning
to move into the first official vice presidential
residence when Watergate revelations proved
Nixons role in a massive cover-up. On Aug.
9, 1974, Nixon resigned, Gerald took the oath
as the 38th president, and Betty found herself
assuming the role of first lady.
Gerald and Betty immediately became

popular with the public. Gerald was universally admired for his honesty and integrity,
and Betty for her openness and candor. The
new first lady held her first press conference on Sept. 4, 1974. She gave her views on
women in politics, abortion and the proposed
Equal Rights Amendment.
Then, in late September 1974, Betty went public with her diagnosis of breast cancer. At the
time, the disease was rarely discussed in public.
But her public disclosure led to an open discussion of both her diagnosis and treatment. And
as soon as she recovered from a mastectomy, she
resumed being a full-time first lady.
Bettys willingness to take public stands on
issues led to the appointment of many women
to high-level government posts. In 1975, she
COINage
strongly supported the United Nations International Womens Year. She even candidly discussed her opinions on such issues as abortion
rights, pre-marital sex and marijuana on the
popular CBS show 60 Minutes.
Some of Bettys views clashed with those of
conservatives in both parties, and they came at a
time when former California Gov. Ronald Reagan was challenging Gerald for the Republican
presidential nomination.
Initially, about two-thirds of the public
took issue with some of Bettys views, but
within months her approval rating soared to
75 percent.
Betty also supported popular programs
for handicapped children and brought public
attention to the importance of the performing
arts. She even encouraged her husband to award
the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Martha
Graham, the first dancer so honored.
Gerald and Betty were both comfortable in
social gatherings. They hosted numerous state
dinners and other White House events, bringing
an informality and warmth that guests and the
nation welcomed.
The Fords also liked to travel. In 1975, they
August 2016
visited 14 countries, from China to the Vatican.
While Geralds popularity rose and fell with

the political situation, Bettys poll numbers remained high. She used her popularity to rally
support for her husband during the 1976 primary and general election campaigns for the
presidency.
She was especially active in the East and Midwest. Supporters began wearing Bettys Husband For President! buttons.
But Bettys popularity was not enough to put
Gerald over the top, and on Election Night,
former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter became
president-elect in a close race.
On Jan. 20, 1977, Gerald and Betty Ford left
the White House and went first to Denver,
and later to Rancho Mirage, California, which
became their retirement home.
In 1978, Bettys abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs led to a family intervention. She
agreed to enter Long Beach Naval Hospital for
treatment. Once again, she faced her problem
openly and honestly and told the public about it.
In 1978, Betty wrote an autobiography called
The Times of My Life. The book was supposed to
conclude with her WhiteHouse years, but she

added a chapter on her battle against alcohol
and drugs.
In 1987, she wrote Betty: A Glad Awakening.
The book recounted her recovery from chemical dependency. Later, she became an advocate
for improved awareness, education and treatment for alcohol and other drug dependencies.
In 1982, the former first lady co-founded the
nonprofit Betty Ford Center at the Eisenhower
Medical Center in Rancho Mirage. Betty worked
tirelessly to raise funds and to help research and
design treatments to assist men, women and
families in recovery from alcoholism and other
drug dependency. Today, The Betty Ford Center
is regarded as one of the outstanding treatment
facilities in the world.
Gerald Ford died on Dec. 26, 2006. Betty led
her family and the nation through several days
of national memorial observances.
Betty died on July 8, 2011, at the Eisenhower
Medical Center in Rancho Mirage.
After ceremonies in California and Grand
Rapids, she was interred beside her husband on
the grounds of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential
Museum in Grand Rapids.

Tips for Navigating a Coin Show
Part I:
Prepare to Maximize
Your Experience
by Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez

www.coinagemag.com
Hundreds of dealers and numerous presenters will be found at any of the major coin shows
that take place around the United States each year, such as the Florida United Numismatists show in Tampa, Florida.
a coin show with more than 200 tables. Ive

been to other coin shows since the 2011 FUN
fair, but the fond memories of my first big coin
show came flooding back when I stepped onto
the bourse floor of FUNs 2016 show, which
was held in Tampa for the first time since
the organizations previous event there half a
decade earlier.
While Im not a grizzled coin show veteran
like many collectors far more seasoned in the
hobby than myself, Ive spent enough time
visiting coin shows by this point in my numismatic life to know what I should do, what I
shouldnt do, what Ill always do and what Ill
never do again at these events.
Dont worry: The never do again stuff isnt
too egregious; it mainly concerns utilizing

proper footwear and attending to other seemingly small yet important details. But Ill get
into that a little later.
Perhaps the most impactful thing Ive come
to realize, having enjoyed coin shows of all different sizes, is that major coin events are their
own numismatic animal.
Not only are the major events different from
the smaller coin shows in terms of their sheer
size, but the larger events also offer many more
ways to spend the time.
Let me say this for the record: I love small
coin shows, because the atmosphere at those
events is more laid backand may be just right
for those who prefer a more intimate setting.
COINage
or many coin collectors, the big event

of the year isnt necessarily the World
Series, Super Bowl or Indianapolis
500though countless hobbyists
love sports. Rather, multitudes of
collectors look forward most eagerly to attending major annual coin shows.
There are several different coin shows that are
national-scale events, including the American
Numismatic Association (ANA) Worlds Fair
of Money, the Florida United Numismatists
(FUN) winter show, the Long Beach Expo and
the Whitman Expo, to name a few big ones.
Many hobbyistsand, of course, large numbers of coin dealersattend several or all of
these events each and every year.
A collectors initial experience at a big coin
showone where there are several hundred
dealers from all over the country, at least one
major coin auction and virtually endless educational seminarscreates lifelong memories
and stokes further passion for the hobby for the
wide-eyed first-time attendee.
I remember going to my first major coin
show. It was the 2011 FUN winter coin show in
Tampa, Florida. At that show, there were more
than 500 coin dealers, nearly 1,000 tables and
more exhibits, seminars and auction lots than I
could even keep track of.
I had already been a coin collector for 20
years at that point, though I had never visited
When attending a coin show, I dont leave

home without a recent price guide.
The differences between attending local coin

shows and national events are roughly the
same as one would expect between visiting a
county carnival and Walt Disney World. Both
venues are terrific, and both offer their own
equally unique flavors of fun.
Whether you prefer the local feel of the small
coin shows or the grandiosity of the national
events, I urge you to attend at least one major
coin show if you havent already.
If you havent been to one of the big coin
shows before or simply havent attended one
in a while and would like a refresher on the
particulars of navigating your way through a
massive bourse, my insights might be useful.
Everything youre about to read in this
article is based purely on my own experiences. Hopefully, these 10 tips will help
you get the most enjoyment from attending
major shows while avoiding some of the faux
pas and other off-center errors (pardon the
pun) Ive made while bumbling through big
bourses in the past.
1) Plan a Budgetand Stick to It
Unless you have virtually limitless funds,
youll want to establish a budget on what youll
spend while youre at the coin show. Most
major coin shows have 400, 500 or more dealer
tables, and they offer plenty of other venues for
spending money, too, including on-site snack
bars, fee-based meet-and-greets with numismatic luminaries and, of course, auctions.
August 2016
There are also the costs associated with staying at a hotel, spending money on gas or airfare
if youre traveling a long distance and worrying
about other fees that are often incurred while
attending a major coin show.
One saving grace for your pocketbook might
be this: Many coin shows offer budget sections.
Ive spent a lot of time cruising the budget areas
of bourses, and I enjoy the thrill of hunting for
the perfect coins there just as much as traipsing through what I refer to as rarity rows
the areas of the floor where dealers who run
glossy full-page ads tend to set up shop.
If youre budget-conscious and living on
a shoestring budget, attending a coin show
doesnt have to spell financial ruin. Its possible
to enjoy a full day at a coin show without ever
spending a dime outside of admission and
parking fees.
Budget and plan accordingly and youll
have a wonderful time at the coin show without having to take out a second mortgage on
your home.
2) Book a Room Early
If youd like a hotel room near the coin show,
you might want to book it as soon as possible.
Major coin shows draw several hundred vendors, not including their families. Add to that
the 10,000 or more people who might attend
the eventmany from out of townand its
easy to see why hotels in the vicinity of the coin
show will fill up quickly.
If the coin show is in a major metropolitan
area, theres a fairly good chance there will be
another large event happening at the same
time as the coin show, making the number of
available hotel rooms even smaller.
Whats the bottom line?
Reserve your room as early as you can. If
your plans to attend the show are rather iffy,
you can always book a room at a hotel that
allows cancellations. If youre securing a room
at a hotel that offers only non-refundable reservations (which is especially likely for nights
during big in-town events), find out what the
cancellation fee might be.
Dont forget, there is a plethora of hotelbooking websites these days that assist you
in finding the best lodging rates, and there
are also sites that can help you unload a
non-refundable hotel room that you no
longer need.
3) Wear Walking Shoes

I learned this lesson the hard way. I decided I
was going to spiff myself up a little bit for a coin
show by wearing some nice slacks, a buttondown shirt and dress shoes.
Perhaps these arent the threads Id wear to
greet the Queen of England, but they certainly
qualify as my Sunday best. The problem? I
dont usually have to hustle 10 city blocks by
foot to get to churchbut I once had to walk
that distance to get from a parking garage to
the front door of a coin show. Not to mention, I
walked that shows sprawling bourse for hours,
then hoofed it all the way back to my car.
Did I survive? Certainly. But, unless Im
dressing up for a special meeting with somebody on the bourse, Ive learned that Im best
off wearing supportive sneakers at the big coin
shows. These ensure a more podiatrically painfree day cruising the flooror walking halfway
through the city, if necessary.
Ill also insert this little kernel of wisdom: If
youre unfamiliar with the city in which the
coin show is being held, refer to online tourist
guides to find the best place to park. Even better, stay at a hotel that offers transport to and
from the show, or simply hail a taxi.
4) Bring Cash
Perhaps subtle hints of my millennial-generation youth showed when I arrived at the
FUN show in 2011 with a wallet containing
little more than an American Express card (a
piece of plastic I never left home without). I
had expected to charge my purchases that day
to my credit card, though I soon learned that
most of the coin dealers I encountered at that
show couldnt run credit transactions there.
Thankfully, the advent of convenient credit
card devices such as the Square Magstripe
Reader has made it easier for coin dealers and
other merchants to run remote credit transactions lately.
Still, I carry a relatively small amount of cash
with me when I attend coin shows, just in case
some dealers are unable to run a credit card. At
the latest show I attended, two of the dealers I
bought coins from accepted only cash, and one
said he preferred cash (I obliged).
Another dealer I encountered at that show
tried desperately to run my credit card through
his Square reader. For some reason, though, the
credit card wouldnt read correctly on the first

5) Take Along a Price Guide

In addition to that American Express card,
theres one other thing I dont leave home without when attending a coin show: a recent price
guide. As a matter of fact, I brought two along
to this years FUN show: a copy of the 2016
Red Book (A Guide Book of United States

Coins) by R.S. Yeoman, edited by Kenneth
Bressett, and I also toted a copy of the most
recent issue of COINage, which offers the latest
retail prices on most U.S. coinage.
While I usually buy standard 19th- and
20th-century U.S. coins, had my numismatic
interests inclined me toward buying, say, die
varieties, I might have also taken along both
volumes of the Cherrypickers Guide to Rare
Die Varieties of United States Coins by Bill Fivaz
and J.T. Stanton.
If I were a foreign coin enthusiast, I could
have lugged with me the incredibly comprehensive, phone-book-size Standard Catalog of
World Coins.
In short, dont go to a coin show without
being in the know about what youre buying
there. It probably goes without saying that Ive
always taken to heart the longtime numismatic
adage, Buy the book before the coin.
Ive barely scratched the surface on

the various ways to help make your next coin
show a more enjoyable, rewarding experience. In the second part of this article series,
I will share some tips on getting around the
show, attending educational seminars, dining at a coin show, minding your manners
with coin dealers, and getting the best deals
for your money.

swipe. After several attempts, the undaunted

coin dealer was able to successfully swipe my
card, and off I walked with my newly purchased coin, bought on credit for an amount
that I soon thereafter paid in full.
If youre uncomfortable carrying large
amounts of cash (as I am), you could try
locating a nearby automatic teller machine
and make withdrawals there as necessary. Just
beware of bank surcharges on each ATM
transaction.
If the nearest ATM falters, however, which
could happen when potentially several hundred other coin show attendees are also making large withdrawals from it, you could find
yourself without cash unless you bring some
with you to the event.
If all else fails, feel free to dump your common-date Kennedy half dollars, Susan B.
Anthony dollars and Sacagawea coins at the
showits probably one of the few places youll
be able to spend these otherwise forgotten
coins without receiving quizzical looks from
cashiers.
The Modern World
by David Schwager
In Defense of Modern Coins
Some modern coins, such as this 51-year-old clad

quarter, are not so new anymore.
Even ancient coins, such as the popular fth-century B.C. owl

coins of Athens, can be common.
I like to talk with all collectors, whether

their interests are books, sports, art, minerals,
guns, toys or anything else. Although I will
never buy a bottle of fine wine, I have more
in common with a wine collector than with
someone who cannot understand our passions. The difference between a collector of
U.S. coins of the 1920s and U.S. coins of the
1970s is small and easily bridged.
To help bridge that small gap, lets answer
some of the common objections to collecting
U.S. moderns and show how they arent so
different from the rest of numismatics.
Modern coins will always be common.
Many moderns, including those made for
30
www.coinagemag.com
collectors, were produced in large numbers.

Coin collectors of the year 2116 will easily be able to find state quarters and 1960s
proof sets in original packaging. Most coins
of any nation or era, however, are common
as types.
At large coin shows, dealers have U.S.
classics such as Saint-Gaudens double
eagles, Barber quarters and large cents
loose in bins. The United States is a large,
wealthy nation and, for most of our history,
we made plenty of money. Even ancient
coins can be common. The popular owl
silver tetradrachms of ancient Athens, for
example, were made by the millions and are
easy to find today.
Modern coins arent worth anything.

Most coins made since the 1950s have
modest prices in typical grades. Some
scarce early U.S. coins command high prices
regardless of grade, but most pre-modern
pieces also sell for relatively little in average
condition. Any coin dealer will have popular
classic coins such as Morgan dollars, Buffalo
nickels and Walking Liberty half dollars for
entry-level prices.
Even most double eagles sell for only a small
premium over their gold value. Taken further,
most examples of most collectibles have little
value. The dollar bin is as familiar to comic
book collectors as the junk box is to numismatists. Modern and classic U.S. coins are
COINage
HERITAGE AUCTIONS
dont collect that modern junk.

If you collect modern U.S. coins, youve probably heard this at least once. Some coin collectors,
even well informed numismatists, hold this opinion.
What do you say in defense of modern coinage?
In one sense, the criticisms of detractors do not matter. We each have our interests and opinions and it isnt necessary or desirable that we share preferences. Seen another way, disdain for
anothers collecting interests doesnt make sense. As collectors, we have a common psychology that
makes certain objects fascinating to us.
alike in that condition and demand cause only

a few pieces to rise above the much greater
quantity and lower value of inexpensive coins.
US MINT
Modern coins dont have the artistry

of U.S. classics.
This could be condensed to moderns are
uglyand admittedly, we can point to plenty of uninspired designs from the last few
decades. Coveted Early American coins and
admired early 20th-century issues, however,
had their detractors when new.
When introduced, the Classic Head cent
was a fat mistress, the Peace dollar was
the flapper dollar and the Mercury dime
reverse, with its bundle of rods and olive
branches, was compared to a lobster trap
choked with seaweed.
Today, most collectors are happy to own
any of these appealing coins. Also, some new
Mint products have undeniable artistic and
technical merit. Hold any recent Congressional Gold Medal 3-inch bronze replica in your
hand and try not to be impressed.
Theres just too much to collect.
Since state quarters debuted in 1999, the
United States has produced an unprecedented
variety of coins, with new designs every few
months instead of every few decades. But the
classic era saw a similar explosion of styles in
the commemorative coin boom of the 1930s.
Furthermore, the U.S. Mint is restrained

Even coins with classic designs, such as the

beautiful Mercury dime, were criticized
when new.
compared to many world mintseven those

with long and distinguished minting histories, such as those in France and Canada,
which make dozens of commemoratives every
year. Having a wide variety of types has been
normal for some nations for centuries. With
every ruler in every tiny principality issuing
his or her own coinage, the Germany section
in the 1700s volume of the Standard Catalog
of World Coins stretches for 300 pages.
Modern coins are only for beginners.
Its true that most collectors of all times and
all nations start by collecting from circulation. These circulation finds will largely be
modern, and inexpensive sets such as Jefferson nickels give many people their entry
into the hobby. Even advanced collectors,
however, often stay with the coins they first
collected in the wild.
Consider the strong prices for high-grade
Lincoln cents and varieties in the series, largely paid by collectors who once put pennies
into blue coin folders. Some of todays most
advanced collectors started by pulling coins
such as Buffalo nickels from circulation when
the coins were only 20 to 40 years old, then
continuing to improve their collections as the
coins aged enough to be considered classics.
I dont want anything that new.
As noted already, the new eventually
becomes old. Even an 18th-century Draped
Bust dollar was once a new coin worth only

face value. And many modern U.S. coins
arent so new anymore. Eisenhower dollars
are around 40 years old, clad coinage debuted
more than 50 years ago and the modern proof
sets in their flat-pack holders began over 60
years ago in 1955.
A modern 1971 to 1978 Eisenhower dollar
is about the same age today as a classic 1916
to 1930 Standing Liberty quarter was during
the collecting boom of the mid-1960s. Collect Colonials and ancient coins if you want
something truly old. U.S. moderns, however,
are older than many of the people who collect
them and continue to age gracefully.
In these respects, modern U.S. coins resemble coins from earlier times and other
places, giving them a legitimate claim as a
respectable part of the broad spectrum of numismatics. Collectors have no reason to be
defensive and can quietly enjoy their chosen
field. If the need arises, though, feel free to say
a few gentle words in defense of moderns.

knowledgeable collector of U.S. modern
coins. He gives presentations at Los Angelesarea numismatic clubs

$10 Gold Coins

n the coin-collecting hobby, the term sleeper refers to an

underpriced item thats often within the means of average collectors. Sometimes, however, coins with fancy price tags can
still be underpricedand still be sleepers.
Are there any modern sleepers that cost $750 or more? Before you
scoff at that notion, consider the lower-mintage First Spouse $10 gold
coins, each of which contains half an ounce of 24-karat gold.
The First Spouse series
started as a solid seller in
2007, when these bullion
coins were introduced as
companion pieces to the
base-metal Presidential $1
coins.
Buyers acquired 36,830

examples of the Martha Washington gold piece (19,169 proofs and

17,661 uncirculated versions). Sales of the Liberty bullion coin
accompanying the 2007 Thomas Jefferson dollar were even higher,
with nearly identical mintages of 19,815 BU versions and 19,823
proofs. (Jefferson was a widower as president, so the Liberty coin was
issued in lieu of a First Spouse gold piece.)
Sales nosedived in 2008, when 9,630 to 12,452 of the First Spouse
coins for Elizabeth Monroe and Louisa Adams and the Liberty $10s
for Andrew Jackson and Martin Van were purchased.
One reason for this was erosion in the novelty of the First Spouse
series. Beyond that, however, the rising price of gold was perhaps the
major factor.
The spot price of gold leaped from $609.50 an ounce at the start of
2007 to $986 on July 15, 2008. Bullion prices declined for the rest of
2008, but the years average spot value of $871.96 was more than $175
an ounce higher than 2007s $695.39 figure.
Collectors in every field have personal price limits, and the rise in
gold was enough to take those with a $500 limit out of the market.
First Spouse $10s debuted at $410.95 for the BU version and
$430.95 for proofs. As gold roared past the $1,000 level, even more
small buyers went elsewhere, many into silver. New gold coins issued
by other nations also diverted shoppers from the series.
What might be considered the first key or semi-key appeared in
2009 when just 1,893 Sarah Polk uncirculated $10s were sold. Gold
reached what was then an all-time high of $1,212.50 on Dec. 2, 2009.
Mintages have been on a downhill path since then: Sales of all
proof and BU First Spouse coins have been below 4,000 since

2011. Even shoppers with generous budgets probably wont buy large quantities of these half-ounce
collectibles.
So which First Spouse coins offer the best potential for future profits?
If youre buying one to five First Spouse $10s, focus
on those with the lowest mintages. For now, those
would be the 2013- and 2014-dated pieces.
In 2013, the Mint sold 1,899 Ida McKinley, 1,892
Edith Roosevelt, 1,772 Helen Taft, 1,717 Ellen Wilson
(died Aug. 6, 1914) and 1,720 Edith Wilson (married
Woodrow Wilson on Dec. 18, 1915) BU pieces.
Proof mintages ranged from 2,279 to 2,747.
U.S. Mint numbers can come slowly, and final
totals for 2014 havent been released as of this
writing. The most current statistics show that,
as of late 2015, 1,415 Florence Harding, 1,338
Grace Coolidge and 1,294 Eleanor Roosevelt
BUs had been sold. Updated or final figures
shouldnt be much higher than that.
The low number for Eleanor Roosevelt is surprising, since she is one of the highest-profile first ladies
in history.
Lou Hoovers BU gold $10 currently ranks as the
key to the series, with sales of 1,275. Final mintages
for 2014 will be higher than the numbers listed here,
but the uncirculated sales all will likely fall below
1,500.
No numbers had been released for the 2015 First
Spouse coins as of late March. Bess Truman, Mamie
Eisenhower, Jackie Kennedy and Lady Bird Johnson
were honored last year. Expect the general (declining) trend to continue, with the possible exception
of the very popular and famous Jackie Kennedy.
There might be a bump in demand for First
Spouse gold this year, as the recently deceased
Nancy Reagan is being honored, along with
Pat Nixon and Betty Ford. Even her husbands
political opponents agree that Nancy Reagans
class and graciousness made her a notable
first lady.
Do the low-mintage First Spouse $10s offer
potential future profits?
The price point isnt helpful to mass-market promoters, and they will have few if any hoards to buy
on the secondary market.
If you can obtain one or more of the keys for less
than the Mints current price, these largely ignored
pieces could be a low-risk flyer with some potential
for future gains.

COIN CAPSULE
by John Iddings
Penny Boards Fuel the Growth of the Hobby
Any hopes of keeping America out of the war were shattered on

Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 1941.
The U.S. naval port of Pearl Harbor on the Hawaiian island of Oahu
came under a sneak attack from 360 carrier-based Japanese fighter
bombers led by 38-year-old Mitsuo Fuchida.
The attack crippled the U.S. Pacific fleet, sinking the battleships USS
Arizona, Oklahoma, California, Nevada and West Virginia, damaging
three other battleships, inflicting major damage on three cruisers
and three destroyers, destroying 200 U.S. planes and killing 2,344
U.S. servicemen.
Only 29 Japanese planes were lost in the attack.
At first, the American public was told only that the USS Arizona
had been sunk and the Oklahoma capsized.
The attack on Pearl Harbor had come at 7:50 a.m. Honolulu
time. At 9 p.m. Washington time, the Japanese foreign minister
finally advised the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo that a state of war existed

Todays collectors of commemorative coins would be overcome
with envy at the prices asked in 1941 by coin dealer Elias Rasmussen
of Minneapoliseven though the market for commems has been
depressed in recent years.
Rasmussen offered most commemorative coins issued before 1940 at
less than $3 each in uncirculated condition. The 1918 Illinois half dollar was just 90 cents, while the 1936 Cleveland half dollar was 85 cents.
Rasmussen also offered gold commemoratives, such as the 1915

Adolf Hitlers insanity

It was 1941, and until the Japanese attack

somewhat insulated from the war raging in
other parts of the world.
Coin collecting was a popular hobby in

dollar for $6. Today, those coins in the

grade of Mint State-60 would sell for about
$2,200 and $600, respectively. Of course,
gold was officially valued at just $35.50 an
ounce in 1941.
Owning gold in 1941 America was a dicey
proposition, since President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had made the metal illegal
for Americans to own in 1933, though gold
coins with numismatic value were exempted.
The January 1941 issue of The Numismatist
told of the sad death of coin dealer Hugo
Landecker of San Francisco, who killed
himself after being convicted of illegal gold
possession.
Landecker, 58, was a steadfast member
of the ANA and a longtime jeweler and
coin dealer. The week before his death, he
had been convicted and sentenced to two
years in prison. He was out on $10,000 bail
pending appeal, but apparently became so
distraught that he swallowed poison in his
office. Friends rushed him to the hospital,
but he died a few hours later, leaving a wife
and five children.
Refusing to take a lesson from Napoleon, Hitler ordered German troops to inAugust 2016
vade Soviet Russia on June 22, 1941.

Like Napoleons forces, the Nazis advanced
rapidly against the Russians, scoring many
early successes. British intelligence predicted
a Soviet collapse within 10 days, while U.S.
intelligence saw it happening within three
months.
But things took a little longer than expected. The German soldiers carried no winter
clothing, and their equipment froze up and
bogged down when the brutal Russian winter arrived. By December, the Nazis were
fighting 360 Soviet divisions instead of the
200 they had expected.
The battle for Russia would eviscerate the
German forces and would turn out to be a
key reason for Hitlers ultimate defeat.
Occupied Vichy France got its own Vichy coinage in 1941. The zinc 10- and 20-centimes coins featured a hole in the middle and
the words ETAT FRANCAIS on the obverse.
They are available today for just a few dollars
in the grade of extremely fine.
The German occupiers also orchestrated
a switch from bronze to zinc coins in the
Netherlands and Belgium starting in 1941.
Copper was just too valuable as a wartime
material to be used for coinage. The earlier

Belgian coins bore the legend BELGIE-BELGIQUE, while the Nazi coins switched it to
BELGIQUE-BELGIE.
Continuing the trend, Germany also
imposed substandard zinc coinage on occupied Norway starting in 1941.
Finland issued 1941 wartime minor coinage with holes punched in the middle. Coins
without holes are also known to exist for the
years 1941-45 and are quite scarce and valuable. The Standard Catalog of World Coins
lists these coins and includes a cautionary
note: The above issues were not authorized
by the government and any that exist were
illegally removed from the mint.
President Roosevelt had begun the

year by recommending a lend-lease program
to aid the Allies, the first step away from
Americas widespread isolationist sentiment.
The $17-billion budget that FDR submitted
to Congress on Jan. 8 called for nearly $11
billion for national defense. Congress would
eventually approve $7 billion for the lendlease program in March.
To fight FDRs determination to get America involved in the war, the America First

Mount Rushmore sculptor John Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum suffered a fatal heart attack
on March 6, 1941.
Frank Duffield was in his third decade

as editor of The Numismatist in 1941, and he
used his position to rail against a coin dealer
for offering to sell a rare 1901-S Barber quarter in what was described as very poor

condition. The coin had been appraised at

several dollars and Duffield didnt think
that was right.
No coin, in our opinion, is worth a substantial premium that had obviously circulated steadily for 40 years, he wrote.
Duffield would probably have been floored
to learn that such a coin would be worth
thousands of dollars today.
The region comprising Yugoslavia had

long been a cauldron of ethnic hatreda fact
that played right into Hitlers hands in 1941.
Yugoslavia experienced a revolution beginning on March 27, and the Nazis moved in
a week later and enlisted the Croats to kill
hundreds of thousands of Serbs.
Also in the first week of April, German
troops invaded Greece.
Hitler aide Rudolf Hess flew to Scotland
on May 10 on an undisclosed mission. The
details are a little muddled, but it is thought
he was on some sort of misguided peace mission, trying to get the British to surrender
before it was too late.

Committee was founded in April 1941 to

unite isolationists.
America First founders included Chicago
Tribune publisher Robert R. McCormick
and Sears, Roebuck Co. chairman Robert E.
Wood. They were joined by the nations most
famous aviator, Charles A. Lindbergh.
As the war spun out of control, Congress
loosened the purse strings and authorized
another $6 billion in October. A week after
Pearl Harbor, another $10 billion in defense
spending was approved.
Eventually, even Lindbergh would change
his views. He would travel to the Pacific
Theater mid-war as a private citizen, giving
American aircrews tips on how to improve
the performance of their warplanes.
And, of course, the visits by Lindbergh did
wonders for morale.
Sculptor Borglum had developed new methods of stone working to carve 60-foot-high heads of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.

The British promptly imprisoned him.

German paratroopers invaded Crete on
May 20, and the British withdrew 12 days
later. It was a humiliating defeat.
But the real terror of the spring of 1941
was the Bismarck, a monstrous 41,700-ton
German battleship that set sail from Poland
on May 18. The Bismarck, hailed as being
virtually unsinkable, destroyed the British
dreadnought Hood on May 24, with great
loss of life.
Three days later, the mighty Bismarck was
sunk after furious attacks by British air and
navel units. Just 100 of the Bismarcks 1,300man crew survived.
For several years, thousands of Americans routinely had been buying Whitman
penny boards, National coin holders and
other numismatic products to help them assemble date-and-mint-mark collections of
circulating coinage.
As a result, the coin hobby had become
very popular by 1941, and the prices of most
coins were steadily rising.
Frank Duffield, writing in The Numismatist, gave some rather patronizing advice to
real numismatists about how to handle
these unwashed masses.
August 2016
It is up to the numismatic generation of

today to train these erstwhile penny-board
collectors into numismatists. They must be
shown the greater values in the hobby than
the mere collecting of dates and mint marks
from circulation.
If the hobby had nothing but dates and
insignificant letters to offer, it would not be
the fascinating science the real numismatist
considers it to be.
War seemingly broke out in Hollywood

in 1941, as sisters Olivia de Havilland and
Joan Fontaine squared off for the Best Actress Oscar, while a famous publisher did
battle with an upstart filmmaker.
Fontaine had been nominated for her role
in the Alfred Hitchcock thriller Suspicion,
and De Havilland had been tapped for her
work in Hold Back the Dawn. Gossip columnists made much of the rivalry between
the sisters, but in reality the two remained
very close.
When it seemed that Fontaine wouldnt
show up at the awards ceremony, Motion
Picture Academy president Walter Wanger
begged her over the phone, to no avail. Minutes later, De Havilland was on the phone
with her shy sister, virtually ordering her to
appear at the awards banquet.

When Fontaine protested that she had
nothing to wear, De Havilland promptly went to the exclusive clothing store I.
Magnins, grabbed her favorite saleswoman
and an armful of dresses, then drove them
over to Fontaines home in Beverly Hills.
Fontaine showed up in style that evening
and, of course, won the Oscar.
A real Hollywood battle culminated in the
debut of Orson Welles masterpiece Citizen
Kane, which opened on May 1 at New Yorks
Palace Theater.
Welles and the RKO Studio had triumphed
after withstanding a barrage of threats from
publishing big-shot William Randolph
Hearst. The movie starred Welles in the
title role along with Joseph Cotten, Everett
Sloane, Agnes Moorehead, Evelyn Keyes and
George Coulouris.
Hearst had tried nearly everything in his
power to block the film, which explored
the theme of idealism corrupted by power.
The film seemed to mirror Hearsts own life
closely, and it wasnt very flattering.
Hearst threatened a lawsuit, then ordered
his many newspapers to omit all references
to RKO and all its films. Theater chain owners understandably feared losing their news53

paper advertising, so they agreed not to

show the movie.
Finally, Hearst offered to pay for the entire
cost of the movies production, along with a
generous bonus, if RKO executives would
agree to burn the negatives of the film. They
refused.
Thank goodness. The movie is an undisputed classic and a favorite with students of
the cinema, largely because it included so
many innovations in cinematography.
Foe and friend alike considered Welles, 25,
a genuine boy genius, and he played the role
to the hilt. In fact, Welles even tried to cut
co-scriptwriter Herman Mankiewicz out of
the films credits, claiming he had to rewrite
most of Mankiewiczs work.
Later research would reveal that Mankiewicz had done some very inspired work on
the script during a self-imposed 11-week
retreat in 1940 at the North Verde Ranch
along the Mojave River in Victorville, California, about 120 miles northeast of Hollywood. Mankiewicz finally appealed to the
Screen Writers Guild to keep his name in the
films credits.
As it turned out, Mankiewicz and Welles
won the 1941 Oscar for best original screenplay.
Mankiewicz once summed up Welles with
the following words: There but for the grace
of God goes God.
The Middle East was of vital importance

as a source of petroleum, a resource in short

supply for the Germans.
British forces, determined to cut off Hitlers
supply of petrol, arrived in Iraq on May 31 to
keep Nazi sympathizers from overthrowing
the government. In the weeks that followed,
British and Free French troops invaded Syria
and Lebanon to prevent a German takeover
of those countries. Lebanese independence
was proclaimed on Nov. 26.
In late August, British and Soviet troops
invaded Iran and forced Reza Shah Pahlevi
to abdicate the throne. He was succeeded
by his son Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, 21,
who was persuaded to cooperate with the
Allies.
Meanwhile, Jewish terrorists in Palestine
were fighting for independence from Britain.
The Stern Gang, founded by Polish-born
Abraham Stern, assassinated Palestinian offi-
cials and bombed military installations and

oil refineries throughout 1941. The British
would kill Stern the following year, although
his followers would carry on with the terror
campaign.
Four days after Pearl Harbor, Germany
declared war on the United States, allowing FDR to declare an end to U.S. neutrality in the European war. Italy soon joined
Germany against the United States, so the
U.S. Congress declared war on Germany
and Italy.
Although it didnt much matter, the lesser
Axis powers of Romania and Bulgaria also
declared war on the United States the same
week.
Many popular songs of 1941 were introduced in the movies.

Chattanooga Choo Choo made its debut
in the movie Sun Valley Serenade, while
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B
first appeared in the film Buck Private.
Gene Autry sang Be Honest With Me in
the movie Ridin on a Rainbow. And the
wildly popular animated feature Dumbo
included the popular tune Baby Mine.
Frank Sinatra wrote the lyrics to his hit
1941 song This Love of Mine. Another
1941 favorite was Deep in the Heart of
Texas, co-written by Don Swandler and his
wife June (who had never been to Texas).
Jazz fans found a 1941 classic in Duke
Ellingtons Take the A Train.
Adolf Hitler gave the signal for his

henchmen to implement the Final Solution
to Europes Jewish problem in 1941.
Adolf Eichmann came up with the idea of
killing with showers of carbon monoxide
while bathing. The Nazis experimented with
the idea, but found the cyanide gas Zyklon B
to be more effective for mass murder.
German SS units machine-gunned about
3,000 Jewish men, women and children to
death in the suburbs of Minsk and Mogilev.
On Sept. 29, 1941, the Nazis visited Babi Yar,
about 30 miles outside Kiev, and machinegunned more than 50,000 Ukrainians, the
majority of them Jews.
At the behest of the Nazis, Croatia was
turned into an independent kingdom administered by an Italian prince who decided to
stay in Italy.

Refusing to take a lesson from Napoleon, German Chancellor Adolf Hitler ordered German troops to invade Soviet

Croatia issued a single zinc coin in the

denomination of one kuna, a term derived
from the Russian word for marten and
reflecting the medieval practice of using furs
for money. Besides this unique kuna, Croatia
also issued a small run of two-kune coins
dated 1941.
This was the Kingdom of Croatias entire
output of coinage. In 1946, Croatia was
joined with Yugoslavia under the communist
dictatorship of Josip Broz Tito.
Costa Rica had its own coinage in 1941,
but many foreign coins also were circulating the country, so the government added
a star countermark to many of the foreign
coins to designate them as acceptable for
commerce.
Japanese military authorities had opened
the Federal Reserve Bank of China in 1938,
and in 1941 it issued paper money and
aluminum coins in three denominations:
one fen, five fen and one chiao. The coinage
continued through 1943, and today these
coins are very affordable in the higher circulated grades.

Henry Kaiser established a chain of seven
Pacific Coast shipyards north of Richmond,

Mount Rushmore National Monument
began attracting visitors to South Dakota
following the death of Native American
sculptor John Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum,
who suffered a fatal heart attack March 6,
1941 at age 73.
Borglum had developed new methods of
stone working to carve 60-foot-high heads
of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
His son, Lincoln, worked to improve the
collar and lapels on Washingtons coat, Jeffersons collar, Lincolns head and Roosevelts
face. Ultimately, though, the work remained
unfinished.
Coin dealers paid $10 for bourse tables

at the 50th Annual ANA Convention, held at
the Benjamin Franklin Hotel in Philadelphia.
General conventioneers paid $5 to attend,

Independence Hall and Christ Church,
where George Washington and other patriots had worshiped.
On Monday, five buses carried conventiongoers to Valley Forge. On Tuesday, a group
picture was taken on the roof of the hotel,
then five buses carried visitors to the Philadelphia Mint for a tour.
Tuesday evening featured the conventions

The U.S. issued war bonds paying 2.9-percent interest which sounds pretty darned

A 1941 BBC broadcast urged the oppressed
people of Europe to keep the faith by whistling the opening notes of Beethovens Fifth
Symphony, which mimic the Morse code
for the letter V for Victorydot, dot, dot,
dash. (The synchronicity thickens when one
notes that Beethovens work could be signified by the letter V, or the Roman numeral
for 5.)
Londons Westminster Cathedral added
the four notes to its hourly chimes, giving
the Brits a constant reminder to keep their
chins up.
Numismatic mementos for the year

1941 might include some of those cheaply
produced zinc coins foisted upon Europe
by the Nazi oppressors. If you look around,
youll find these coins are still priced at very
affordable levels.
If you prefer the domestic models, youve
got plenty of U.S. coins to choose from for
1941. The Lincoln cents, Jefferson nickels,
Mercury dimes, Washington quarters and
Walking Liberty half dollars of 1941 are all
plentiful and easy on the budget in most
grades.
But if youre the type of collector who just
has to have the very best, huge premiums
are now being paid for extremely high-grade
certified coins of the era.
For instance, a 1941 Lincoln cent is worth
$2 or less in MS-60. Yet, the same coin sells
for several hundred dollars in MS-67 Red. A
1941-D Washington quarter in MS-60 can be
had for just $25 in MS-60, but the same coin
in MS-67 will set you back more than $2,000.
Its a trend that would have Frank Duffield
spinning in his grave.

YN Pioneer
Paul Whitnah
He Helped
Open the ANA
to Younger
Members
by Ed Reiter
hen the American Numismatic Association

established its Young
Numismatist program
nearly half a century ago, Paul Whitnah was
a 20-year-old pioneer who helped blaze
the trail.
For the first 75 years of the ANAs existence, membership had been open only to
adultsindividuals 18 years of age or older.
That changed in 1967, when the ANA Board
of Governorswith a strong nudge from
Whitnahinstituted a new membership
category for youngsters between the ages of
11 and 17.
Whitnah himself had joined the national
coin club when hed turned 18 two years
earlier and enthusiastically supported the
admission of even younger members under
the new YN programa goal he shared
with one of his early mentors, Matt Rothert,
who served as ANA president from 1965 to
1967.
At that time, Whitnah recalls, this was
a hot potato. There was strong opposition
to lowering the age requirement for ANA
membership. Some of us, however, felt it
58
www.coinagemag.com
was important to develop young collectors

during their formative years, so the hobby
wouldnt lose them when they grew up.
Like Rothert, Whitnah hailed from Arkansas. He developed an interest in the

hobby at an early age when a neighbor in
Little Rock, his boyhood hometown, showed
him an array of old coins. He soon began
frequenting a local coin shop and picking
scarce coins from rolls he obtained from
banksand soon he assembled a collection
of his own.
At the age of 15, he joined forces with an
adult numismatist to sell coins at a kiosk at
the Little Rock airport.
We did a lot of business with pilots and
other airline personnel and with passengers,
he relates. Crew members flying in from the
East Coast would bring us rolls of new coins
minted in Philadelphia, which werent readily available in Arkansas, and theyd exchange
them with us for Denver issues.
He sold his interest in the business two
years later, when he graduated from Little
Rock Central High School and enrolled at
the University of Arkansas. But his interest
in coinslike planes at the airporttook off
thereafter and reached even greater heights.
In 1966, Rothert appointed his young fellow Arkansan to a special ANA committee
formed to study the idea of admitting junior
members. The committees report got a favorable reception from the ANA Board at the
following years conventionwith a major
assist from Whitnah, who delivered a talk at
the shows educational forum detailing the
needs of junior hobbyists and the advantages
of involving them in the association.
He might have started out as poster boy

for the YN program, but Whitnahs service to
the ANA soon took other significant forms
notably his role at the message center in the
bourse of each convention. He began working
there as a part-time volunteer in 1968, while
still in college, and ended up taking charge of
the operation a decade later when its longtime
supervisor, Evie Kelley, passed the batonor
rather, the microphoneto him.
Whitnah ran the message center, with help
from a crew of equally dedicated volunteers,
for more than a quarter-century before his
involvement in other ANA activities forced
him to become a fill-in while others handled the lions share of the centers almost
nonstop activity.
He has attended every midsummer ANA

The ANAs Outstanding Young Numismatist of the Year award honors young collectors for
outstanding contributions to the hobby and industry.
ANA
conventionnow known as the Worlds Fair

of Moneysince 1965. And unlike most
showgoers, who get to roam the bourse floor
and take part in other convention events, he
has spent his time behind the message center
microphone all day long, every day, right
from the opening gun to the final bell.
The communications center has to be operational whenever the bourse is open, and the
volunteers who man it (actually, many have
been women through the years) often work
long hours and receive little or no tangible
compensation. But, Whitnah says, there are
other kinds of rewards.
Youre always right in the middle of things,
and eventually you get to see everyone you
wanted to, he observes. Plus, theres a
certain amount of psychic satisfaction. I, for
one, didnt have the wherewithal to make a
sizable financial contribution to the ANA, so
I looked upon this as my donation.
The association gratefully acknowledged
this donation by honoring Whitnah with its
Medal of Merit in 1978 and its highest form
of recognition, the Farran Zerbe Award,
in 1992.
In 2010, Whitnah received the Clemy
Award from the Numismatic Literary Guild
for his lifetime achievements as a writer for
hobby periodicals and as a tireless volunteerincluding a term as executive director
of the guild. That same year, the Professional
Numismatists Guild gave him its Art Kagin
Ambassador Award for his service to the
hobby and the PNG membership.
Airports have figured prominently in

Whitnahs life. Not only was his teenage
August 2016
coin business based in an airport, but he has

spent his entire adult life working for and
with airlines.
While in college, where he earned a bachelors degree in business administration, he
secured a part-time job as campus representative for American Airlines, selling
youth-fare cards to fellow students. After
graduation, he accepted a full-time job with
the airline and worked his way up to the post
of general manager of the companys operations at the Shreveport Regional Airport in
Shreveport, Louisiana.
He later was promoted to a senior position
with American in Chicago. Then, in 1988,
he left to form a travel agency in Arlington,

by Marcy Gibbel
he topic of removing President Andrew Jackson from the front of the

$20 bill and replacing him with almost anyone else comes up every few years. It came up
again recently, but this time was different.
This time, the campaign brought about real
change: Harriet Tubman, abolitionist and
humanitarian, will replace Jackson. The new
$20s will enter circulation in 2020.
What began as an ordinary third-grade history project in the spring of 2014 ended in
an extraordinary experience. Sofia (last name
withheld) was studying historical people when
she noticed a bit of a gender gap.
Sofia told COINage, I noticed that a lot of
the people who were studying men were able
to put a lot of pictures of dollars [paper money]
and coins on their posters, but I noticed that
the people who were doing women werent able
to put those kind of things on their posters. I
thought it was unfair.
So she went home and wrote a letterto the
President of the United States, Barack Obama.
Sofia said, I kind of thought that if I wrote a
letter to the president, I could get the most help
raise the most awareness.
Her letter read, in part, I am writing to know
why there arent more women on dollars/coins
for the United States. I think there should be
more women on the dollars/coins of the United
States because if there were no women, there
wouldnt be men.
She suggested several names of historically significant women, including first lady
Eleanor Roosevelt, civil rights activist Rosa
Parks, poet Emily Dickinson and abolitionist
Harriet Tubman.
A few months later, Sofias family heard that
Obama had mentioned a letter from a Massachusetts girl in a July 2014 speech about the
62

Eleven-year-old Sofia wrote to President

Obama about the need for a womans portrain on U.S. banknotes and coins.
economy and wondered if it was her. It turned

out that it was.
In February 2015, a letter arrived in Cambridge from the White House from the president, thanking Sofia for writing to him with
such a good idea. The list of women she
proposed was an impressive group. The letter
went on to state, and I must say youre pretty
impressive too.
But the movement to completely redesign the
$20 was underway even before Sofia became
involved. Barbara Ortiz Howard founded
Women on 20s as a non-profit, grassroots
organization which aims to compel historic
change by convincing President Obama that
now is the time to dedicate the $20 bill exclusively to women.
Along with executive director and campaign
strategist Susan Ades Stone, Howard created
an online election to let the public choose a
nominee for the new $20. Ten weeks and more

than 600,000 votes later, Tubman emerged as
the winner to be the new face on the $20 bill.
When Sofia and her mom learned about
Women on 20s in March 2015, they reached
out and told them Sofia was excited about
their campaign. Sofias mom, Kim, said, We
wanted to know if she could sort of lend them a
hand, and that was when she became the junior
ambassador.
On May 12, 2015, Women on 20s (www.
womenon20s.org) presented a petition to President Obama and the Treasury Department.
It informed them of the results of the election
and their many endorsements and encouraged
them to make this change before the 100th anniversary of womens suffrage in 2020.
It wasnt until April of this year that Treasury
Secretary Jacob Lew officially announced the
ousting of Jackson for Tubman.
Sofia said shes thrilled that Tubman is replacing Andrew Jackson because Jackson owned
slaves. She was a slave and helped other slaves
escape, and I think thats really cool. I think its
cool, too, that while most slaves who escaped
themselves and helped their families, she went
back and helped strangers she didnt know. And
old people and little kids and babies and all
kinds of people who she knew needed her help.
So why was the change finally made?
Kim believes that its partly because so many
people decided to weigh in.
She said, Not just Sofia and Barbara and
Susan, but hundreds of thousands of other
people. And kids. It was really inspirational to
see honors classes and other kids around the
country really grabbing on to this and not just
voting on the Website, but really turning it into
a learning opportunity in their classroom.
Sofia took that opportunity and acted on it.

COUNTERFEIT COINS
[TEMECULA, CALIFORNIA] The Professional Numismatists

Guild (www.PNGDealers.org) recently warned buyers and sellers
of the proliferation of counterfeit coins in todays marketplace.
We conducted an informal inquiry of PNG members and PNG
Accredited Precious Metals Dealers (APMD) about what theyre
encountering now in the marketplace. They have seen everything
from counterfeits of vintage rare coins to modern precious metal
items. These include fakes of popular century-old U.S. Morgan
and Peace design silver dollars [and] current gold and silver
American Eagles, gold U.S. Buffalo coins, silver and gold Chinese
Pandas, and Canadian silver and gold Maple Leaf coins. Were
also seeing spurious gold and silver ingots, said PNG President
Dana Samuelson.
Many of the fakes apparently are originating in China and then
offered online by various sellers. It is imperative that collectors,
investors and the general public deal only with reputable, knowledgeable experts who offer a guarantee of authenticity, emphasized
Samuelson.

TREASURE TROVE
[SEVILLE SPAIN] Workers laying pipe in a southern Spanish park discovered a

1,300-pound (600-kilogram) hoard of Roman coins. The construction workers
came across 19 amphoras containing thousands of bronze and silver-coated coins
dating from the end of the fourth century.
Seville Archaeological Museum Director Ana Navarro said the discovery is
unique for Spain and of incalculable value. She told reporters the museum had
contacted counterparts in Britain, France and Italy and that the find appeared to
be one of the most important from the period.
The cultural department said the museum had no similar coins in its collection.
Once the find has been fully investigated, the pieces will be displayed in the museum.
The Romans began to conquer Spain in 218 B.C. and ruled until the fifth century.

NOTICE TO COIN BUYERS
In looking at advertisements in COINage Magazine, the

reader should be aware that there is no precise or exacting
science for grading coins. Opinions of two viewers of
the identical coin can, and do, differ, even when they are
those of experts, because perceptions as to the state of
preservation are not always identical.
For grades that are circulated, there tend to be several
well-defined and uniform criteria that are utilized, but
the grades themselves may be different, because they
represent an impression or indication as to the amount of
wear on a coin.
Uncirculated coins have no visible signs of wear, though
they may have blemishes, bag marks, rim nicks, tarnish,
or may even be weakly struck (which often resembles
wear). In uncirculated condition, there are many different
grading opinions, some of which are described adjectively,
others with numbers. Not all numbers have the identical
meaning. This depends on the grading standard utilized.
The value of the item to the buyer should be determined
by the price, not the grade. Your examination of and
satisfaction with the coin should be the criterion, not the
grade represented by the seller, or a determination made
by another.
Your best protection is your own knowledge and the trust
that has developed between you and the dealer over a
series of mutually satisfactory transactions.
All advertisers in COINage Magazine agree to a seven-day
unconditional money-back guarantee for all items with
the exception of bullion and bullion-like coinage, whose
dominant price element consists of the value of its precious metal.
If you are displeased with the purchase from an
advertiser in COINage Magazine and do not receive proper
satisfaction, please contact our advertising service department immediately.
Standards for grading by advertisers must specify which
guideline or system is utilized. The notification may be
within the context of the advertisement (if it varies from
item to item), or by means of the following symbols:
A American Numismatic Assoc. Grading Guide; N NCI;
NGC Numismatic Guaranty Corp. of America; P Photograde;
PCGS Professional Coin Grading Service; PCI; ANACS;
ACG
Some of these names are registered trademarks, or are
used under license. All uses in COINage Magazine shall be
strictly in accordance with such authorized use.
Any other grading standard or system utilized must be
specified. A combination of any of the above standards
may also be used if specified. If there is no symbol,
or other explanation, the reader must assume that the
advertisers grading standards are based upon his own
personal experience.
Uncirculated coins in mint state (MS) may be described
with numbers or adjectives. Unless the advertisement
indicates otherwise, the following standards are used:
MS-67: Superb Brilliant Uncirculated or Superb Gem
Uncirculated;
MS-65: Gem Brilliant Uncirculated or Gem Uncirculated;
MS-63: Choice Brilliant Uncirculated or Choice
Uncirculated;
MS-60: Brilliant Uncirculated or Uncirculated.
COINage Magazine reserves the right, to which the advertisers consent, to monitor all merchandise offered in its
pages and to make occasional test orders under assumed
names to verify that coins are as advertised. Advertisers
must agree to adhere to the minimum standards set above
and understand and consent that violations may lead to
suspension of advertising privileges.
Inadvertent typographical errors occur. Advertisements
appearing in COINage Magazine should be considered
requests to inquire rather than unconditional offers of
sale. All prices are subject to change at any time without
notice.
