A resurgence in gold and sil-ver bullion demand, paired with robust sales of numismatic collector coins, have put the

Royal Canadian Mint on track to exceed revenue targets set out in its 2014-2018 corporate plan.

In publishing its 2015 third quarter financial report, the Mint announced consolidated revenues of $928.5 million for the 13 weeks ended Sept. 26,

2015, representing an 85.5 per cent increase over the same pe-riod in 2014.

“By reorganizing and refo-cusing the Mint, we have taken proactive steps to ensure that the Mint is ideally positioned to attract new customers to our industry-leading coin products and technologies,” said Sandra L. Hanington, president and

Robust collector coin sales continue to drive Mint revenues

Gi a n t “ c o i n s ” h a v e sprouted up all over

Canada over the past five decades, quite fitting in a country so vast that a hand-ful of European nations could fit end-to-end in many of its provinces and territo-ries.

Canada’s first giant coin – a replica of a 1951 commem-orative five-cent piece – was erected in 1964 at Sudbury’s Canadian Centennial Nu-mismatic Park. By 1968, five other coin monuments had been erected there. Since

then, mammoth coins have been constructed in Echo Bay, Virginiatown and Campbellford, Ont.

GIANT LOONIE AT ECHO BAY

The folks in Echo Bay, just east of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., don’t think the Canadian dollar is shrinking. In fact, they happen to know that a Canadian dollar in their town is worth a lot more than the 75 cents US that it’s currently pegged at on the

These ‘coins’ are worth a ton

The cold, snowy, weather may not have been ideal, but the Nickel Belt Coin Club (NBCC) show held on Nov. 22 in Sudbury, provided attendees with a warm, memorable expe-rience inside at Dynamic Earth.

It was the Nickel City club’s first coin show/sale in decades (other than the ONA conventions they hosted in 2005 and 2008) but the affable members, spectacular surroundings, great displays and local, enthusiastic dealers, made it feel as if the club had done this many times before.

The show’s venue was cer-tainly unique. Dynamic Earth – home to the iconic Big Nickel monument – served as a fitting backdrop for the event and it

was greatly appreciated by the attendees and rather awe in-spiring to me, I must admit. In fact, I can’t think of a more stunning and appropriate venue for a coin show.

As I made my way up the walkway and saw the Big Nickel towering above me (30 feet above me, in fact), I was re-minded of my early days as a collector, stumbling upon some Sudbury “coins” including one aluminum replica of the famous big nickel and a Copper Cliff medal that really “lit” the col-lecting fire under me.

I always enjoy getting back to Sudbury. I spent a wonderful 13

years there and so really, it’s my second home.

While there in 1985 and again from 1988 until 2000, I formed some great friendships and learned to find beauty in the landscape around me.

Whenever I had a chance to visit the Big Nickel and Science North while I lived in Sudbury, I did. And whenever I had a chance to participate in organized numismatics, I did that as well.

I also forged a bond with the Nickel Belt Coin Club that exists to this day. So, when Keith Godin, vice-president of the North Bay Coin Club asked me to be the keynote speaker at their coin show on Nov. 22, at Dynamic Earth no less, I jumped at the chance. I spoke about one of my favourite subjects – Sudbury nu-mismatics – at the beautiful Atlas Costco

Theatre at Dynamic Earth – home of the iconic giant coin, the Big Nickel.

Would you believe that my personal collection of Sudbury numismatic items numbers over 350 pieces? It seems al-most too hard to believe, even for my-self! I can still recall the day, back in 1973, when a school chum of mine showed me a large Copper Cliff medal while we were having our recess break at St. Alexander’s Elementary School in North Bay.

I was hooked! It was so cool. And so big!

My Sudbury collection began quite modestly – with a big nickel aluminum replica here and a Sudbury smokestack medal there. I began picking up Sudbury medals and tokens in earnest from then on at flea markets, antique shops and later, from other collectors, coin dealers and auctions.

On that day in 1973, I would have never guessed that one large Copper Cliff medal would someday lead to a love of these interesting items and a collection that still begs to be com-pleted. In the mid 1990s, I published a catalogue of Sudbury numismatics that was my first attempt at listing the “coins”, tokens, medals, currency and other numismatic items issued in or for what is now, the City of Greater Sudbury.

When I first started the list – using my original IBM PC running at 4.77 megahertz (WOW!), I had no idea that the number of pieces I would eventu-ally be including would be so large. But when I had finally completed my catalogue, it numbered about 200 pieces. Since then, I have continued to track Sudbury numismatic items and the list is getting very near to 400. I guess it’s time for another book!

If you want an interesting collecting challenge, why not start collecting nu-mismatic items from your area? Once you have a pretty good basis, you might even decide to compile a list and eventually publish a book. Anything’s possible. I intend to explore the fasci-nating and enjoyable field of collecting local numismatics in a future column.

By the way, I did eventually add that 1973 Copper Cliff piece to my collec-tion!

Happy collecting! �

GuestCOMMENTARY

EUGENIA MEDAL AVAILABLE

Dear editor,I very much enjoyed the article

about the Eugenia Generating Station medal in the Dec. 1 – 14, 2015 issue. It is quite an attractive medal that I would like to add to my collection.

The article stated that the medals are available at gift shops in the Eugenia area, but doesn’t give a specific source from which to order. I have tried to find this medal for sale on the internet without success.

Could you possibly advise me of a source for the purchase of one of these?

Craig Nash,Victoria, B.C.

Thank you for your feedback Craig. We checked with the author, Jeff Fournier, and he says a limited number of the medal is available at $25 prepaid in any finish except

the low mintage bright copper. Collectors can email Jeff at: [email protected] to order or mail him at: Jeff Fournier 1205 Fisher St. North Bay, ON P1B 9P5.

For the savvy investor under the age of 18 years, regular invest-ments can be made into an account established on their behalf by a par-ent or legal guardian.

AMERICAN EAGLE GOLD SALES SURGE, SILVER HOT

The U.S. Mint’s sales of American Eagle coins surged in November, with gold nearly tripling month-over-month and silver already reaching a new an-nual record as bullion prices fell to multi-year lows.

As reported by the Reuters news agency, the mint sold 97,000 ounces of American Eagle gold coins in Novem-ber, up 185 per cent from October and

62 per cent higher from a year ago, af-ter selling out of most of the 2015-dated coins as falling bullion prices attracted buyers.

Strong demand came as spot gold prices fell around seven per cent to the lowest in nearly six years. This was the gold market’s biggest monthly drop in 21/2 years as traders and investors widely anticipated that the U.S. Fed-eral Reserve will raise interest rates at its next meeting in mid-December.

Reuters also reported demand for American Eagle silver coins has also been strong, with year-to-date sales al-ready reaching an annual record at 44.67 million ounces, breaking the full-year record of 44 million ounces in 2014. This surge in buying came after spot silver prices fell for five of the past six months to the lowest levels in more than six years in November. Low prices spurred strong silver coin demand, forcing the U.S. Mint and others around the world to put them on weekly allocations.

ANCIENT COIN LINKS INDUS CIVILIZATION TO SANGAM AGEThe Swastika extensively found in

the Indus Valley Civilization and con-sidered as auspicious in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, has also been found in a coin of famous Tamil king Adhiyaman, one of the seven chieftains known for charity.

According to an article in the new Indian Express, the coin, which was found by R. Krishnamurthy, a well-known numismatist and Dinamalar Editor, also shows warriors with Greek style of headgear and writings in Brahmi and Tamil-Brahmi. The coin could show the Tamils’ link with the early Indus Valley and later Greek civi-lizations.

The newspaper article stated that ac-cording to some historians, Adhiya-man is said to be from the Mazhava tribe, which ruled a territory in the In-dus Valley between Jhelum, Chenab and Ravi rivers. The finding could show a link between the Indus Valley civilization and Tamils of Sangam age.

Explaining the coin, Krishnamurthy told the newspaper said: “The front side shows an elephant near a flag mast, while Swastika symbol is found

on the top left. The name Adhiyaman is seen on the top of the elephant. On the back side, a river and two fishes are found. A horse and a soldier wielding a shield and sword-like weapon are seen. The soldier is wear-ing a headgear with Greek style hair decorations.”

HOARD OF ROMAN-ERA COINS FOUND IN CHERRY ORCHARDA Swiss farmer trying to remove a

molehill from a cherry orchard has un-covered a Roman-era hoard of more than 4,000 coins, described by a coin expert as being in excellent condition.

Found in Ueken, in northern Swit-zerland, the earliest of the coins date back to A.D. 274 during the rule of Emperor Aurelian and through the period of Emperor Maximan from 294. The hoard of 4,166 coins are said to consist primarily of bronze with a high silver content of about five per cent. According to the Archaeological Service of the Canton of Aargua, the discovery is considered one of the largest numismatic treasures found in Switzerland.

More details are expected to be re-leased in the coming months.

BULGARIAN NATIONAL BANK ISSUES NEW BGN 2 COIN

The Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) has issued a new BGN 2 coin, which entered into circulation on Dec. 7.

The two-component coin is made of metal, with an inner circle of goldish alloy and outer ring of silvery alloy. The coin has a weight of nine grams and a diameter of 26.5mm, with its edge having alternating serrated and flat sectors. The obverse of the coin de-picts the nominal value (2), the inscrip-tion LEVA written in Bulgarian and the year of issue (2015). The reverse of the coin features the stylised image of Pai-sius of Hilendar, who is also portrayed on the BGN 2 banknote, the years of his life (1722-1773), and the inscriptions PAISIUS OF HILENDAR and BUL-GARIA written in Bulgarian.

Paisius of Hilendar is considered a key figure in the Bulgarian Revival period in the 18th-19th centuries for writing the first work of Bulgarian historiography, the Slavonic-Bulgarian History.

ALMOST UNCIRCULATEDAn almost uncirculated collection of news, views and more…

DID YOU KNOW?When “Spocking” surged ear-

lier this year following Leonard Nimoy’s death, the Bank of Canada reminded people that, while the practice is not illegal and the notes remain legal ten-der and “a symbol of our coun-try and a source of national pride”, defacing the bill could damage its security features and lead retailers to refuse them. At one recent coin show, at least two “Spock” bills were spotted for sale.


I recently had my DNA tested to determine my ethnic

background. The results were surprising, given what I thought I knew. Let’s just say that I will never look at St. Pat-rick’s Day quite so casually in the future. That brings me to the topic for this column, the medieval coinage of Ireland.

Ireland is a place where real prehistory and Celtic myths blend, often becoming insepa-rable from each other. To such a time belongs the legend of the hero Cu Chulainn (pro-nounced “Cuhullan” in Eng-lish), who may or may not have been a real person. An-other legendary hero was the warrior Fionn Mac Cumhaill (“Finn MacCool”) who led a band of fighters known as the Fianna.

The Lebor Gabala, or Book of Invasions, which dates from the 12th century – it may even have been written before that time, though there is no known earlier surviving copy – tells us that Ireland was settled by six peoples in succession. Of these six the last three are perhaps the ones most encountered in legend: the Fir Bolg, the Tuatha de Danaan, and the Milesians (the latter people are said to have come from Iberia).

Archeologists, on the other hand, state that the earliest hu-man occupation of Ireland dates from the Mesolithic Mid-dle Stone Age circa 6,000 BC. It is thought that the main inhab-itants during the Bronze Age were Picts.

The Celts began to enter Ire-land by the mid-sixth century BC and continued to arrive and displace the earlier inhabitants until the first century BC. Saint Patrick arrived in Ireland in AD 432 and began converting the inhabitants to Christianity. Dur-ing the Early Middle Ages – re-ferred to by some as the Dark Ages, when the light of knowl-edge was supposedly extin-guished throughout Britain and on the continent – it was the Irish monks who kept the flame of learning alight in Europe. Be-ginning in AD 795 the Vikings arrived, raiding and plunder-ing. By the 840s they began to establish settlements in several places, most notably Dublin. From there they ruled as kings. During the reign of the High King of Ireland Aed Findliath (AD 862-879), the Norse were forced to relinquish all lands they had conquered in the northern parts of Ireland. A century later the land saw the rise to power of the great king

of Munster, Brian Boru, who became the king of Ireland in the year 1002. He was mur-dered in 1014.

Up to this point in its history, no coins are known to have been made and/or issued in Ireland. The first Irish coins were silver pennies struck in Ireland by the Norse king of Dublin, Sihtric III, around 995. The coins were copied from contemporary silver pennies of King Aethelred II of England (978-1016). This marked the start of the Hiberno-Norse coin-age: coins minted by the Norse kings of Dublin. The obverses carry the legend SIHTRIC REX DYFLIN (Sihtric King of dub-lin). As the Anglo-Saxon coin-age designs changed, the Hi-berno-Norse coins of of this period also changed.

It did not take long for the quality of subsequent Hiberno-Norse penny issues to degener-ate into very crude pieces. Within a few decades the leg-ends had declined to the point where they made no sense whatsoever. Eventually, only bracteates and semi-bracteates were being struck. A bracteate is a coin made from very thin metal; so thin that it is struck only on the obverse. The im-pression goes through to the reverse where it appears back-wards and incuse. Semi-bracte-ates are equally thin coins on which an attempt has at least been made to strike a reverse. Most of the Irish bracteates and semi-bracteates are believed to have been struck in Dublin. The production of coinage in Ire-land had probably petered out by the time the Norman con-querors of England took an in-terest in the island.

King Henry II of England (1154-89), son of the empress Matilda who had fought dog-gedly and vainly against Ste-phen for the English throne, began the invasion of Ireland in 1169. He quickly conquered much territory in Leinster and Munster. Much of this conquest was carried out by the Earl of Pembroke, Richard FitzGilbert de Clare, familiarly known to history as “Strongbow.”

In 1177 Henry II conferred the title Lord of Ireland on his young son Prince John, who visited Ireland in 1185. From then until 1199, John struck sil-ver halfpennies and fourthings (farthings). Many halfpennies bear the legend IOHANNES DOMINUS HIBERNIAE or a shortened form of it on their obverses. The farthings have a legend on their reverses only, composed simply of four letters of the name of the moneyer who made the coin.

John de Courcy began the conquest of Ulster in 1177 and carried it out with speed and efficiency. He began using the title of “Lord of Ulster” and by the end of the century he was

striking his own silver half-pennies and farthings from mints in Carrickfergus and Downpatrick. These coins were made in different variet-ies and with different types, but the legends often include either the name PATRICIUS (in reference to St. Patrick) or a form of de Courcy’s name. De Courcy was captured by the English and expelled from Ire-land in 1204.

Upon the death in 1199 of his older brother King Richard I, the Lionheart, Prince John be-came king of England. Perhaps the most historically important event to occur during his reign was his being forced by his bar-ons to sign the Magna Carta in 1215. King John died the fol-lowing year.

Early in his reign, John de-cided to provide a new coinage for Ireland, consisting of silver pennies, halfpennies and far-things. The designs are similar for all three denominations: A triangle is seen on both sides with its point facing up, while the king’s facing bust appears in the obverse triangle and the

Canadian Coin News Trends is an estimate of retail values of the items listed, based on dealer sales, wholesale prices, auction results and precious metal prices. It assumes that coins are free of damage, problem-free and correctly graded, and that the buyer and seller have equal knowledge and motivation. The estimates contained on these pages are meant as a guide only, since exact values are set by buyers and sellers in fair negotiation.

TRENDS

As we close the door on 2015 it seems an appropriate time to begin an overview of the Newfoundland and Maritime coin series, with the focus in this issue on the market de-mand and availability of Newfoundland large cents.

A reminder to potential collectors or dealers of Maritime coins – yes it is the smaller market when compared to Canadian coins but the supply weak profile for premium, problem-free examples of most grades (nice VG and higher) can offer a long-term chal-lenge to the buyer and a growth market for the seller who is willing to find and promote the product and educate the public.

The entire Maritime market – buyer and seller – benefit from accurate grading skills because no one has regrets about a purchase or a sale later on. When trying to develop a new market clients and dealers should take the time and make the effort to have all their Maritime products in a specialized display format – i.e. one area in a case or in one binder. Offer an easy to find selection – not a here or there game of hide and seek. Make it avail-able, make it fun, and make it a new learning experience. Continued on page 29

One of the most challeng-ing exercises for a collec-

tor is assessing whether a to-ken or coin is genuine or counterfeit.

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, prior to the is-suance of tokens by mer-chants, individuals and banks, a shortage of coinage in the Canadian colonies resulted in an influx of foreign coins. A wide range of these coins cir-culated to fill this void, in-cluding Spanish, French, Por-tuguese, American, Irish and English pieces. These invari-ably included imitations and counterfeits. While the con-spicuous appearance of some

leave little doubt as to their at-tribution as fakes, others re-quire more detective work to identify.

Following are several exam-ples of tokens and coins that I had fun assessing, along with a description of the tools I used in the process.

EXAMPLE NO. 1This copper piece has an

obverse depicting a bust of George III facing right, with the words GLORIOVS III VIS around the rim. The reverse portrays a seated female fig-ure, possibly Britannia, facing left and holding a sprig in her right hand. The word BRIT-

ISH can be seen clearly along the left side of the rim. The let-ters ARS can be seen along the right side of the rim. This piece has many features that are present on English 18th- and 19th-century coinage, in particular the bust and female figure that may lead some to assume that this is an authen-tic coin.

A search found this coin listed as No. 271 by James At-kins in his 1892 book, The Tradesmen’s Tokens of the Eigh-teenth Century. During the last half of the 18th century, Eng-land was overrun by a signifi-cant number of counterfeit coins whose minters intended them to be exact copies of re-gal coinage. Laws were en-acted to combat this nuisance, but they applied only to exact copies. To sidestep this law, resourceful individuals struck “evasion tokens” – beginning in the mid-1770s to about 1800 – which had similarities to regal coinage but were not exact copies. In this case, we have a bust of or resembling George III and a seated fe-male figure representing Bri-

tannia. The legends on eva-sion tokens were often the source of the difference from the genuine coins, and often read as absurd or nonsensi-cal, such as BONNY GIRL and BRITAN RULES. In the case of our token I have de-scribed, BRITISH TARS, a term used to celebrate the su-premacy of British seamen, became BRITISH ARS.

The shortage of coinage, fa-miliar designs, and many Brit-ons’ low literacy during this period led to evasions’ fre-quent acceptance. Many of these pieces found their way to the Canadian colonies for the same reasons.

While the inscription as-sisted in identifying this piece as an evasion token, many Blacksmith counterfeit tokens show the bust facing in the wrong direction, while in other cases the composition gives away their counterfeit nature. However, on some fakes, such obvious differ-ences are lacking. For the fol-lowing examples, I have em-ployed a digital scale and digital slide gauge or calipers to help determine whether these coins are genuine or counterfeit.

EXAMPLE NO. 2This is a well-worn and

rusted copper piece where most of the inscription is not present or legible. The obverse illustrates a bust facing right

while the reverse portrays a crowned harp with nine strings. Only the number 81 is visible in the date, situated be-low the harp. Taken together, these characteristics would point to this being a 1781 Irish halfpenny.

A 1781 regal Irish halfpenny has a weight of 9.09 grams and a diameter of 27 .8 millimetres, but my coin weighs five grams and has a diameter of 27.07mm. Al-though the diameter is mar-ginally smaller than the regal halfpenny, the significant weight difference leads me to conclude that my coin is coun-terfeit. In the game for profit, counterfeiters typically pro-duced lightweight coins to maximize their profit.

EXAMPLE NO. 3This copper piece has an ob-

verse depicting a bust facing right. The word GEORGIVS is around the left side of the rim while the legend III R X is around the right side. Evi-dently, the letter E to make the word REX is worn away or was never present. The reverse once again illustrates a seated female figure facing left with a trident in her left arm. Only the letter B is visible from the inscription around the rim, likely part of the word BRI-TANNIA. The date of 1775, barely discernible, is below the female figure. These details suggest the coin is a George III halfpenny. The diameter of the coin is 28.5 mm and the weight is nine grams, while a regal

The nonsensical inscription on this token, BRITISH ARS, gives this piece away as an evasion token, meant to ape a George III piece that would have read BRITISH TARS, a reference to British seamen.

This well-worn copper piece was intended to imitate a 1781 regal Irish halfpenny, but weighs little more than half as much as the real thing.

While details on this George III halfpenny have been worn away, the coin’s weight and size suggest it is the real deal.

All my collecting life, I have been fascinated by

coins with laminations. They have a certain appeal to me, leaving me to wonder what the blank looked like before being struck and what impact the pressure of the dies had on the defective planchet, even when there is no visible evidence of grease, rags, dirt or other foreign objects.

It is only very recently I looked up the word “lamina-tion” in various dictionaries. Here is the typical entry: “Lamination is the technique of manufacturing a material in multiple layers, so that the composite material achieves improved strength, stability, sound insulation, appearance or other properties from the use of differing materials.”

The dictionaries also ex-plain that “a laminate is a permanently assembled ob-ject by heat, pressure, weld-ing, or adhesives. This clad-

ding is achieved by pressing or rolling sheets together un-der high pressure.”

This is how strips of multi-ple metals used to strike coins in Canada and the U.S. are created. Multiple layers allow a cheaper metal to be used as a filler.

The same dictionaries state that “delamination is a fail-ure for composite materials and steel. In laminated mate-rials, repeated cyclic stresses, impact, and so on can cause layers to separate.”

Delamination is also used in describing the flaking of part of a single alloy metal due to impurities or other material embedded into the metal during its molten state when the strips are being formed.

But contrary to the theme of this column, a lamination is a coin struck on a blank whose metal bonded prop-erly and did not flake, thus a “normal” coin.

What I was actually collect-ing were coins with “delami-nations.”

Does that mean I should destroy my writer’s licence and be banned from ever publishing another word on errors and varieties in Cana-dian Coin News? Am I the only one that stated exactly the opposite of what I meant

when I called a lamination an error?

I searched eBay.com for both lamination and delami-nation error coins. I must have found nearly a hundred list-ings for laminations, but only seven for delaminations, whether from Canada, the U.S. or elsewhere.

Another eBay search under “delamination coins from Canada” resulted in zero hits. Likewise, webstore.com has 22 listings for laminations, but not a single delamination.

That’s a lot of other people that also got it wrong.

During my recent research for this column, I discovered slabs from two of the top three American third-party authen-tication/grading services that described the errors as “lami-nation.” These are shown in Figure 1.

There is no ambiguity in the erroneous use of “lamination” in the top label by Numis-matic Guarantee Corporation in the illustration.

The middle labe l , by ANACS, states “detached lamination.” This might be technically correct. If lamina-tion is the bonding of metal and there is peeling, it might be described as detached lam-ination, although it is an awk-ward way of describing de-lamination.

As well, “detached lamina-tion” sounds like an absolute contradiction, or oxymoron. The “lamination” on the label means bonded or joined. The word “detached” is exactly the opposite.

ANACS avoids the use of both lamination and delami-nation in the bottom label, by simply calling it “split after strike,” although that could imply there was no split or crack in the planchet before it was struck.

NGC and ANACS seem to have mistook lamination for delamination, as most other people do.

DELAMINATIONS AND CLEANING

Although a lot of collectors do not share my opinion that coins should never – OK, hardly ever – be cleaned, an extremely strong case can be made that at least one group of errors should never be cleaned. This group consists of delaminations and split planchets that exhibit traces of impurities that were re-sponsible for the defect.

Although some material, such as water, can evaporate when struck under high pres-sure, solid impurities such as dirt of all types or residue of dried grease will remain as evidence of the delamina-tion.

Figure 2 shows two coins formerly in my collection that should never be cleaned, since the foreign material is part and parcel of the error. The impurities might detract from the appearance of the coin, but actually enhance it in the minds of error collectors. The “dirt” (grease soot) gives it that “wow” appearance, since you can readily see what caused the delamination.

A few U.S. sellers on eBay also had the good sense of not cleaning coins containing de-laminations. Three of these are shown in Figure 3.

EBAY LISTING IDENTIFIES A DELAMINATION

CORRECTLYAn eBay listing by “scardi-

nal” describes the 1945-P U.S. nickel shown in Figure 4 as “delamination,” one of just a small handful that identifies this type of planchet error cor-rectly.

The buy-it-now price is $39.20 US, or more than $52 Cdn. This seemingly high

price might be due to the fact that the delamination covers about 80 per cent of the re-verse of the coin and it’s from 1945.

Note the area of the delami-nation is covered with what appears to be dried grease, which turns dark under pres-sure and the resulting heat. It would have been a shame if the seller attempted to clean the coin prior to listing it on eBay.

THIS DELAMINATION IS ACTUALLY LAMINATION

In an ironic turnabout, the coin in Figure 5 listed on eBay by “fantasticcoinsandmore” as a “1940 Jefferson Error

legend IOHANNES REX is placed along the three sides of the triangle. The reverse bears the name of the moneyer and the location of the mint along the sides of the triangle.

John’s son became King Henry III upon his father ’s death in 1216. However no fur-ther Irish coins were struck un-til 1251, when a new coinage of pennies was begun at Dublin. These coins continued the fac-ing bust in a triangle on the ob-verse, but with Henry’s name and royal title in the legend. The reverses show a cross, the name of the moneyer and mint in the legend, and a circle en-closing three pellets in each an-gle of the cross. The Dublin mint was closed again in 1254 after having produced a large number of coins.

Henry III was succeeded in 1272 by his son Edward I, who reigned until 1307. A small number of coins was struck by a moneyer in Dublin in the name of the late Henry III. When Edward decided to issue Irish silver pennies, halfpennies

and farthings in his own name he made a number of changes. One of the most notable is that the obverse triangle is inverted, with the point facing down-ward. On the reverses the cross design and the name of the mint were continued, but the moneyer’s name was left off.

The monarchs of England continued to produce coins in their own names for use in Ire-land in the ensuing centuries. Among the more unusual and interesting (though not medi-eval) are the issues of “gun money” produced by the ex-pelled English King James II to pay his troops in Ireland be-tween 1689 and 1691. Made of copper, brass or pewter, they are referred to as “gun money” because they were made from melted down cannons, though other base-metal objects were also employed. Carrying the name of the month in which they were issued, the pieces were intended to be redeemed for silver coins when James would be victorious. Of course, James never did suc-ceed in regaining the English throne. �

halfpenny has a diameter of 28.5 to 30 mm and weighs in at slightly more, 9.8 grams. Acknowledging that there are often minimal differences in weight and diameter figures, my coin is certainly within an acceptable range of the regal numbers, and therefore I will classify it as genuine.

EXAMPLE NO. 4This final example is

unique, as it is counter-marked with the initials I & S W appearing on the re-verse. The obverse of this

copper coin features a male bust facing left, with the let-ters IVS located along the upper left rim, likely part of the word GEORGIVS. The numeral II and the letter R are located along the upper right rim with the R likely the only letter visible in the word REX. Taken together, these characteristics point to this being a reference to King George II of the House of Hanover who ruled 1727-60.

The well-worn reverse il-lustrates a crowned harp with only an outline of the harp being visible. The date, not present, is probably worn away or was never present.

At first glance, this ap-pears to be an Irish regal halfpenny from the era of King George II. It is not known what the counter-mark represents or if it was applied to the host coin in Ireland or in Canada.

My coin weighs eight grams and has a diameter of 27.42 mm compared with an Irish King George II half-penny weighing 8.61 to 9.37 grams and having a diame-ter of 28.15 to 28.2 mm. The small differences in both weight an diameter make this coin more complex to attribute, but I would specu-late that this coin has a greater probability of being genuine due to its closeness in weight to the genuine or regal pieces. �

The countermark on this coin adds a peculiar detail, but its physical specifi cations suggest it is a genuine George II Irish regal halfpenny.

Nickel Major Delamination Coin” is actually a lamina-tion.

There is no peeling of metal. Rather, it appears to have ex-tra material on top of Monti-cello and some of the legend. So rather than being a delami-nation – which would exhibit

peeling or missing metal – it is a lamination, where extra metal bonded to the coin.

In reviewing the descrip-tions of the Internet listings, I am sure that the word lamina-tion is not being used in the sense that there is an error in the lamination – which would

indeed make it a “lamination error” – but rather as a de-scription for the error, for which the word delamination should be used.

DESCRIPTION COVERS MULTIPLE POSSIBILITIES

Another eBay listing, from “cbenhob” of White Dog Gal-lery, shown in Figure 6, is de-scribed as a “2000-D Lincoln cent penny error coin cut cud lamination press exonumia collecter (sic).” He repeats the same description in the body of the listing.

Under “item condition,” it shows “#inGodwetrust.” I have never heard of that con-dition.

I assume he is expressing his opinion on grading and does not credit that statement to the practice of grading coins by the Sheldon System.

I think that if I wasn’t sure what the error was, I would use words like cut, cud, lami-nation and press to cover all bases, letting the potential bidder figure it out the error for themselves.

And if I could not grade or did not want to describe how bad the coin is, I would de-flect it by some irrelevant or nonsensical statement.

The buy-it-now price is $59.60 US, quite a high price for this “cut cud lamination press exonumia” novelty item that is neither a cud nor a lamination. I mean, how long would it have taken someone to cut out a few notches in their basement? �

John can be reached at [email protected].

Figure 5. This coin, described as delamination, is actually lamination in that it contains additional material that is bonded to the coin.

Figure 6. This basement job, described as an ‘error coin cut cud lamination,’ can be had for $60 US.

“A positive choice in Canadian Numismatics”SPECIALIZING IN HIGH END AND RARE COLLECTOR COINS

Proof PositiveCoins Ltd.

Sandy Campbell,NumismatistLife Member: CNA 228

• ANA 3496 • APNA • FUN • CSNS

CEO of the RCM. “With still more room to grow our nu-mismatic and bullion busi-nesses and emerging opportu-nities on the international coin market, the Mint is facing the future from a position of strength.”

Numismatics and collectibles revenues continued to increase in the third quarter of 2015, with sales of $51.5 million rep-resenting an increase of 13.9 per cent over Q3 2014. In a release, the Mint states revenues have been generated by a strong core of existing customers as well as new ones acquired through tar-geted campaigns and sales strategies.

Prominent numismatic coins issued in Q3 2015 included a series of gold and silver coins celebrating the historic reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II; a fine silver coloured coin commemorating the loss of the Franklin Expedition in Cana-dian waters; the RCM’s first coins, in gold and silver, hon-ouring Diwali, the Festival of Lights; and a new achromatic

hologram coin featuring the story of the northern lights and the legend of the raven, which was unveiled in Whitehorse, Yukon on Aug. 24.

As well, the Mint launched 12.5 million 25-cent commemo-rative circulation coins celebrat-ing the 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag on June 9, 2015, which were the first Canadian coins to feature the Mint’s ad-

vanced pad-printing colouring technology.

A highlight of the fi-nancial quarter was the North American launch of the Mint’s Bullion DNA Anti-Counterfeiting Technology at the American Numismatic As-sociation’s 2015 World’s Fair of Money in Chicago, Ill., on Aug. 22. As part of its commitment to innovate for the benefit of its customers, the Mint developed a counter-top device which now allows genuine Gold and Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins to be identified and certified in-store. This advanced security technology will soon be rolled out to the international bullion market.

Year-to-date production of Canadian circulation coins is up compared to the same 2014 period, to 246 million compared to 79 million, as the Mint grad-ually replenishes inventories affected by a drop in financial institution deposits and a lower opening inventory for the year.

The number of recycled coins available for circulation also increased slightly to 428 million year-to-date, compared to 410 million after the first three quarters of 2014.

In undertaking a strategic review to ensure continued success under changing mar-ket conditions, the Mint ad-justed and redeployed part of its workforce, reorganized its business lines, and re-assessed operating costs. After con-cluding the valuation of the Mint’s circulation business as-sets was impaired due to the recent elimination of antici-pated profit for Canadian cir-culation coin production and lower international revenue project ions, a $65.5 mil-lion non-cash impairment charge was recorded in Q3 2015.

Pre-impairment consoli-dated profit before taxes in-creased 146.3 per cent to $20.2 million from $8.2 million in the same period in 2014. The in-crease was driven by strong bullion and numismatic re-sults. The $65.5 million impair-ment loss drove the consoli-

dated profit before taxes to a loss of $45.3 mil-lion in the third quarter,

compared to a profit of $8.2 million in the same

period in 2014.The Circulation Products

and Solutions Business Line, incorporating foreign circula-tion sales and the Alloy Recov-ery Program, is on track to break even for 2015. The Mint shipped 336.6 million coins and blanks to 12 countries in the third quarter of 2015, com-pared to 402.0 million coins and blanks shipped to nine countries during the same pe-riod last year. While foreign circulation sales declined by 9.2 per cent to $11.9 mil-lion from $13.1 million in Q3 2014, the Mint has secured large volume coin and blank contracts for two countries in the current quarter.

Revenue from the Alloy Re-covery Program, through which the metal content of alloy coins collected through the recycling program is recovered and sold, increased 32 per cent to $6.6 million from $5 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Bullion Products and Ser-vices revenues of $840.4 mil-lion more than doubled in Q3 2015 over the $409.8 million re-corded in the third quarter of 2014, with demand for both gold and silver bullion prod-ucts exceeding expectations, up 135.5 per cent and 75.9 per cent respectively in terms of ounces. Nearly 10 million ounces of silver bullion, mostly as Silver Maple Leaf coins, were sold in 2015.

Put a nickel in and take your food out. As a child, the Horn

and Hardart automat in down-town New York City was a spe-cial treat. You put your nickel in a slot, lift the small glass window and reach in for what you have just bought. After lunch you could go back to the wall of 50 or so mailbox-like cubby holes – re-filled from behind they emptied – and select your dessert. It was fun to make my way past the ta-bles to the wall, where I could look from box to box until I set-tled on lemon meringue pie. The illustration in Figure 1 puts you there. As can be seen, each glass window dispenser has a slot for one or more nickels, usually ob-tained from the cashier. The nick-els were rotated by a knob into the internal cashbox that allowed the glass window to be raised and locked in a horizontal posi-tion for easy removal of the plate or bowl of food. On the other side of the vending wall, out of

sight, the staff refilled each dis-penser. In a few seconds, the compartment next to the slot re-volved into place to present the desired food to the customer through the small glass window that opened and closed. The chambers were rarely seen va-cant. Recounting the procedure reawakens a visceral memory of the heat or cold when taking food from the dispensers.

Horn and Hardart was a phe-nomenon that any visitor to New York City had to experience. The first automat in the city opened in Times Square, July 2, 1912, during the same week another opened at Broadway and East 14th Street near Union Square, the location of the one I visited. By the time of Joseph Horn’s death in 1941, the business had 157 retail shops in restaurants in the Philadelphia and New York areas, and 500,000 patrons a day according to the August 2001 is-sue of the Smithsonian magazine.

By the mid-1970s, automats began to close with the rise of fast food restaurants, until the last Horn and Hardart automat closed in 1991. Ingrained in pop-ular culture, Horn and Hardart played parts in films, songs and Broadway plays from the 1960s to 2013.

More expensive Horn and Hardart items required tokens valued up to 75 cents, which were available from the cashier. Examples of the Horn and Hard-art automat brass token may be seen in Figure 2.

These tokens are some of many numismatic items that can help us relive memories past.

Can you recall the thrill and excitement of going to the circus for the first time? Do you recall who took you there? For me it was a special treat.

My grandfather took me there and it was the big time, a three-ring big top. Take a look at Fig-ure 3. Isn’t it nice when a medal can bring back good times in our life? Here we see the name of what was truly heralded as “the Greatest Show on Earth,” the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus. Take a look at the other side of the medal, seen in Figure 4. Linger there a while. Figures begin to emerge from what at first merely looks like decoration. At the bottom, an el-ephant head with its trunk

curved up can be seen next to a clown’s smiling face. At the top are two less easily identifiable figures. On the left is what looks like a head overlooking a fence with two hands fixed on the rail. On the right is a figure that be-gins to look like a Rorschach blot that invites our personal projec-tion. But our memories don’t have to be so vague, as a look back at Figure 3 reveals that our medal marks the 100th anniver-sary of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus.

So what can we move on to, after the greatest show on Earth? Perhaps Wonderland and the wonder dollar seen in Figure 5 will do the trick. It brings us right to Canada where in tiny letters we are told that the “won-der dollar” is the “coin of the realm worth one dollar at Cana-da’s Wonderland any day Mon-day to Friday.” The other side, Figure 6, is what I find most in-teresting. I love advertising items. At the top centre we see the brand logo and the name Lo-blaws above it.

The Wonderland dollar is to be used at the 330-acre theme park located in Vaughan, Ont., just north of Toronto. It opened in 1981 through the participation of Taft Broadcasting Company and the Great West Life Insur-ance Company as the first major theme park in Canada and re-

mains Canada’s largest. Cana-da’s Wonderland is one of the most visited seasonal amuse-ment parks in North America, with approximately 3.5 million visitors in 2014.

Where do we go next?From Canada, let’s go to the

moon. The medal in Figure 7 joins us with Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins, seen in Apollo 11. On the back (Figure 8), we are reminded of the July 20, 1969 moon landing. The surrounding legend informs us “first men on the moon” in English and French. This is something that all of us must have indelibly imprinted in our mind.

I’d like to close with a tax to-ken (Figure 9). Though the letter-ing is indistinct, it depicts a heart, dedicated to the people of Paris and their profound caring for each other in the face of the di-saster that recently shook the free world. �

Residents of Echo Bay wanted to find a way to pay homage to local artist Robert Carmichael, the designer of the loonie, the $1 coin in cir-culation since 1987.

Horst Weller, a local man with some mighty big ideas, suggested that perhaps they should construct and erect a giant dollar coin at the en-trance to the township. The idea quickly caught on and the rest, as they say, is his-tory.

On July 18, 1992, a three-metre-high loon dollar replica monument was dedicated on Highway 17 in Echo Bay. The monument itself was fash-ioned out of fiberglass and is an exact scale model of the real thing.

And who better to design the monument than Carmi-chael himself! The artist was approached with the idea, and quickly agreed to be a part of the project. Money was raised via the sale of Nevada tickets and base stones – even-tually used for the base of the monument – which were “sold” to local citizens for a $5 contribution toward the project. Several private indi-viduals and corporations made donations to the project as well.

Carmichael contacted the Royal Canadian Mint to get the exact dimensions of the dollar coin and went to work, assisted in the project by his artist-wife, Gwen Keatley. It took months of planning and

some good old-fashioned el-bow grease to recreate the coin.

A giant, arborite platform was divided into nine 30-cen-timetre squares. Carmichael then recreated the loon side (reverse) and the Queen side (obverse) using modelling clay. Shaping the denticles – the small beads encircling the main design – posed a special challenge; that is until Keatley suggested using an ice cream scoop to mould the clay.

Nick Chornyi, another local resident, became involved in the project when he suggested it be built out of fiberglass in-stead of wood due to the ma-terial’s durability and work-ability.

Once the clay designs for the reverse and obverse sides were complete, Chornyi took over. He moulded and joined the two sides together, then painted the completed ‘coin.’

The monument was placed upon a concrete base, donated and buil t by Esko Kas-tikainen.

Sears and Canadian Tire catalogues from 1992, editions of the Sault Star and North Shore Sentinel, a Bell Canada telephone directory and other items were sealed inside three tubes that were sunk within the stone base, forming a unique time capsule to be opened in the year 2042.

In the summer of 1993, Weller designed and created a park around the monument, including a walkway of inter-locking stones, fashioned in the shape of a “loonie,” com-pleting what was merely an idea and a dream just a short time before.

VIRGINIATOWN’S GIANT GOLD PIECE

A 3.7-metre-high replica of the first Canadian-minted gold coin – the 1908 sovereign

– stands in the tiny Ontario community of Virginiatown, situated about 45 kilometres east of Kirkland Lake, Ont. The area has abundant min-eral deposits, at one time boasting some of the richest gold-producing mines in the world. Many of the gold coins of Canada’s past were minted from the refined deposits found here.

The monument was offi-cially unveiled on July 21, 1989. Weighing in at about 2.25 tonnes, the impressive structure was sculpted by stu-dents enrolled in Julio Visk-

ovich’s 1988-89 welder-fitters class at Northern College’s Kirkland Lake campus.

Challenged by the project, the youthful “artists” learned to innovate in order to com-plete it. One student learned to use a tracing lathe to create the nearly 200 denticles on the face of the coin. Enough weld-ing rods were used in the project to reach a distance of 2.5 kilometres.

The huge steel structure is faithful to the design of the original coin, which features the Benedetto Pistrucci rendi-tion of St. George and the

Dragon on the reverse side and Edward VII on the ob-verse.

One of the area’s deposits – Larder Lake Mines, on the northeast arm of its namesake lake – produced much of the gold that went into the pro-duction of the original gold sovereign pieces, minted be-tween 1908 and 1919.

To mark the official unveil-ing of the monument, the Township of McGarry issued a commemorative medal fea-turing Pistrucci’s St. George and the Dragon on one side and the Larder-McGarry tour-ist information centre on the other.

The medal was struck by Pressed Metal Products of Vancouver on 38-millimetre blanks. Two types were is-s u e d : t h e f i r s t i s 4 . 8 millimetres thick, minted in copper, then sandblasted and hand-finished in an antiqued gold. A second medal, much lighter and thinner, was struck in gold-plated copper. Mint-ages were 500 for the antiqued piece and 2,000 for the bright gold medal. �

NUMISMATIC EDUCATION

The unveiling of the Virginiatown monument was marked with a medal struck by Pressed Metal Products.

A giant replica of the 1908 sovereign in Virginiatown marks the area where gold was mined to mint Canada’s fi rst gold coin.


When Pierre Breton was writing his classic cata-

logue of Canadian coins and tokens in the early 1890s, he of-ten relied on information that several collectors sent him about tokens they had discov-ered. Some of these contribu-tors were, and are, well known in the numismatic community, such as Joe Hooper of Port Hope, Ont., Gerald Hart of Montreal, and C.J. Casault of Ottawa, but another is virtually unknown apart from Breton’s mention: Rev. J.M. Goodwillie.

John Milton Goodwillie was born in Thorold, Ont., near St. Catharines in the Niagara pen-insula on May 6, 1844. His fa-ther, Joseph Goodwillie (1795-1876), was a carpenter as a young man but a farmer in Thorold for most of his life, and is variously reported in censuses and other documents as having been born either in New Brunswick or Vermont. Most likely, he was born either in Barnet or in Brunswick, both small settlements in northeast-ern Vermont, and emigrated to Upper Canada in 1825 or 1826, when one of his sons was born in Welland County. J.M.’s mother was Elizabeth Helms or Hellems (1803-73), origi-nally from Pennsylvania.

The tenth of 12 children, J.M. Goodwillie grew up on the

farm in Welland County and, in the 1860s, studied at University of Toronto’s University College, receiving his B.A. in 1865 and his master’s degree in 1869. His interests included archeology, geology, and paleontology, but he settled on a career in the clergy, becoming ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1872. His first ministry was in Doon and Hespeler, Ont., in 1873. His brother Hiram (1830-1903), meanwhile, became well known all over Ontario as a producer of bottled fruit.

On Dec. 27, 1876, only a cou-ple of months after the death of his father, J.M. married Mary Almira Dobbie (1857-1924), daughter of Thorold ironmonger Archibald Dobbie.

Early in their marriage, Rev. Goodwillie was assigned as minister at Knox Presbyterian Church in Camlachie, a small village east of Sarnia, Ont., where his first son, John Mil-ton Jr. (1879-83), was born in 1879. They were in Camlachie until at least 1882, but daugh-ter Ethel Mary Maude was born in Thorold, indicating ei-ther that they moved back by early 1883 or, more likely, that Mary was living with her par-ents in Thorold during the last months of her pregnancy. The couple had rather poor luck with children. John Jr. died of

croup in November 1883, at the age of four, just three months after Ethel died of cholera at the age of six months. The Goodwillies were not to have any further chil-dren until 1891.

Some time during 1883, Goodwillie was appointed minister of St. Andrew’s Pres-byterian Church in Newmar-ket, Ont., a post he held until 1884. It was there, in Newmar-ket, that both his young chil-dren died. It is not clear where J.M. and Mary were for the next few years, but in October 1888, J.M. became minister of the fairly new Presbyterian church in North Bay, Ont.

In May of 1891, according to the federal census, the Good-willies were still in North Bay, J.M. still listed as clergyman, but they must have moved to the Ottawa area shortly after. In September that year, they had another son, Charles Al-len, in Springhill, then a small village south of Ottawa, but now just a crossroads, and J.M. was minister at Knox Presbyte-rian Church in Vernon just a couple of kilometres to the south. This was a fairly new church to replace a clapboard one in Springhill, where only the cemetery remains. In 1892, Goodwillie was elected to the Pan-Presbyterian Council’s Committee for State, and in 1896 he attended the conven-tion of the Christian Endeav-our Union in Ottawa.

Goodwillie appears to have been a fairly serious naturalist in the 1880s and early 90s. He is listed in E. Cassino’s Inter-national Scientist’s Directory for 1882, and is credited for having, that same year, do-nated a “series of rare fossils from the Niagara and Hamil-ton formations” to the Geologi-cal Survey of Canada, accord-ing to the annual report of the Ministry of the Interior. In 1883, he donated a further 16 fossils from the Hudson River

formation, from Weston, Ont., to the Geological and Natural History Survey and Museum of Canada.

Goodwillie’s numismatic ac-tivities may also have peaked in the late 1880s and early 1890s. Breton mentions him as having either discovered or bought up the remainder of several cheques and trade to-kens around 1886-87, includ-ing the billiards tokens of A. Bain (Breton No. 748), H. Elmslie (Breton No. 752), and A.D. Faucher (Breton No. 753), the Niklaus Hotel token (Breton No. 758), the H. Paulus bakery token (Breton No. 760), and the Robinson House sa-loon tokens (Breton Nos. 761 and 762). Some of these came from businesses in communi-ties with which he was very familiar (he had lived near St. Catharines and in Camlachie), but his discoveries of pieces from farther afield, such as the F a u c h e r t o k e n f r o m Peterborough, Ont., suggests that he made a point of explor-ing Ontario towns in search of previously undocumented nu-mismatic treasures. That he was the source of Breton’s in-formation on these pieces also shows that he was in active correspondence with Breton, most likely as a customer.

Rev. Goodwillie and another J.M. Goodwillie (rather oddly, as his son had died almost a decade earlier) are both listed with Newmarket addresses in list No. 12 of known numisma-tists, published in the Numis-matist in January 1892. How-ever, Goodwillie never joined the American Numismatic As-sociation or, apparently, any other numismatic organiza-tion.

One wonders if the ANA’s 1892 informant (probably Jo-seph Hooper) was in error in attributing Goodwillie to New-market, which he had left in 1888, as we find him back in the Ottawa area, living on lot 2,

Concession 7 in Metcalfe, Ont., only two kilometres from Springhill, in the Farmers and Business Directory 1904, for the counties of Carleton, Dundas, Glengarry, Grenville, Lanark, Leeds, Prescott, Grenville, Rus-sell and Stormont. Somewhat surprisingly, Bradstreet’s Com-mercial Ratings describe Good-willie as a grocer in Metcalfe in 1908, as does the federal census in 1911, where he is listed as liv-ing in Russell, a short distance east of Metcalfe. Reminiscences by one Frances Iveson indicate that Goodwillie had opened the small store, mostly a candy store, after being forced into re-tirement from the church. There is no explanation for this retire-ment, which would have to have been somewhat early (he was 64 in 1908), but it might have been connected with de-clining health. The store was first located next to Rolston Brothers’ store on Victoria Street in Metcalfe, then moved to Albert Quaile’s house, just north of Sandy McPherson’s blacksmith shop. However, Goodwillie’s death record still describes him as a Presbyterian minister.

Goodwillie died of paralysis in Metcalfe on Nov. 2, 1917 at the age of 73. He was buried in Newmarket. His son, Charles, who had been a school teacher in the Junior Public School in Metcalfe, died on Oct. 1, 1918, two days after fighting in the Battle of the Canal du Nord, near Blécourt, Pas-de-Calais, France, while serving with the Governor-General ’s Foot Guards in the 13th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He won the Military Medal for his gallantry and was buried in the British cem-etery at Sancourt. Mary died in 1924 and was also buried in Newmarket. The fate of the Goodwillie coin collection is unknown but, if you happen to own an Uncirculated exam-ple of Breton No. 748, 752, 758, 760, 761, or 762, odds are that it was once in Goodwillie’s hands. �

The World ofMONEY

The Robinson House saloon tokens are some of several pieces J.M. Goodwillie discovered and shared with Pierre Breton for publication in his colonial tokens catalogue.

In the early 1890s, Rev. J.M. Goodwillie was minister at Knox Presbyterian Church in Vernon, in the Ottawa area.


its 50th anniversary last year. Throughout 2014, the NBCC club was front and centre at Dynamic Earth, to ensure that the Big Nickel’s birthday was appropriately commemorated. Club members evidently for-aged a unique and mutually beneficial partnership with the tourist attraction, owned and operated by Sudbury’s Science North (http://sciencenorth.ca/dynamic-earth/index.aspx).

Bob Denton, president of the NBCC, had nothing but praise for the venue and for the staff at Dynamic Earth.

“Julie (Moskalyk – senior manager at Dynamic Earth) and Jen Beaudry are fantastic. We’ll be keeping this venue for 2016 and promise a bigger, much improved show, with many more activities, for next year,” added Denton.

A show date has already been set for 2016 and it is sure to be memorable. After all, the NBCC will be celebrating 60 years as a club next year, so that will undoubtedly add a special twist to the event. “We’ve al-ready confirmed the date with Dynamic Earth” says Denton. “The show will be held here on Nov. 6, 2016.”

The earlier date will defi-nitely be a welcomed one, since once mid to late November rolls around in northern On-tario; the snow may start to fly!

BRIEF NBCC HISTORYThe NBCC was formed in

1956 and had some very well-known members and guest speakers in its early years, in-cluding the late Bob Wiley and James E. Charlton. Local coin dealers, including Chuck Mar-tin in the early years and John Brown, more recently, have

helped promote the numismatic hobby and spread collector coins around Sudbury and be-yond.

The club is still going strong and often sees attendance at its meetings in the 30 range. Its members are enthusiastic and its meetings usually feature guest speakers and a monthly auction; but like all clubs, they are mostly “seasoned” collec-tors. Youth and newer collec-tors are sparse and are defi-nitely needed to keep the club strong and viable going for-ward. One bright spot is a ju-nior member section of the club, but that part of the club is still in its infancy.

While the show was small, the dealers still had plenty to offer, including the usual fare, such as Royal Canadian Mint material, currency and, of course, a host of Sudbury med-als and tokens.

Yours truly was invited to be the keynote speaker at the event. I gave my well-seasoned presentation, “Sudbury Numis-matics”, to an appreciative group. I had presented on this same topic (admittedly, it was a little less refined) last year dur-ing the Big Nickel 50th anniver-sary celebration and I was as impressed this time as I was last with the Atlas Copco The-atre where I addressed the au-

dience. It’s a full-fledged, multi-media, large-screened theatre, not unlike theatres in other lo-cations that sport the latest in Hollywood flicks projected on to giant screens. It was great to see my presentation on such a big screen.

I gave an overview of the more than 350 Sudbury numis-matic items that have been is-sued over the years, including the many Big Nickel medals, masonic pennies, local currency and more. I threw in a few fun facts and personal anecdotes to lighten the mood and hopefully to inspire others to collect this really interesting series.

EXHIBIT IMPRESSIVEOne room of the show was

dedicated to a non-competitive exhibit of RCM mint sets and an impressive collection of Manitoulin Island municipal currency and wooden tokens. I was immediately drawn to a silver, 1968 Manitoulin medal – one of the few pieces I am miss-ing to complete my own collec-tion of this fascinating series.

Dynamic Earth had their per-manent displays of Canadian five-cent pieces, nickel coinage and the minting process on view for all to see. Sudbury is, after all, the nickel capital of the world and quite literally sits atop one of the richest nickel deposits in the entire planet.

Sudbury’s contribution to numismatics has been huge. Much of the nickel that has been used in Canadian coinage throughout the years was mined in this city. Moreover, Inco (now Vale), at one time owned and operated a rolling mill in the west end of the city that produced the blanks used by the RCM for the Canadian 25-cent piece.

Two of the special guests at the show were Jim Pomerleau and Stan Waltenbury from the Sudbury Shrine Club. Both

were invited by fellow Rotar-ian, Keith Godin, who is a member of the NBCC as well as its current vice-president. Both men belong to the Penny Far-thing Unit of the Sudbury Shrine Club. They entertain the local Sudbury folks at special events throughout the year by riding their “penny farthing” bicycles.

According to my late, great, numismatic friend, Jerry Re-mick (author of ‘Money Talk’), the penny farthing had radi-cally different wheel sizes. Not coincidentally, pennies and far-

things were two coins with rad-ically different sizes as well. The bike got its name because it looked like two different sized coins “chasing” each other down the street. The big wheel is named after the big coin called the penny and the small wheel is named after the small coin called the farthing.

“Jim is one of the only guys who can get on his bike cor-rectly,” says Stan. “It’s not easy, since his bike’s front wheel is about 60 inches tall!”

Now, that’s one big bike! Not unlike the Big Nickel monu-ment. Wow, those Sudburians sure know a thing or two about doing things in a really big way! �

New ISSUESCompiled by Mike Walsh

PAIRING TWO ICONIC FIGURESThe Royal Mint has announced a

new addition to its face value coin range – the United Kingdom’s first ‘£50 for £50’ fine silver commemora-tive coin. In a celebration of Britain’s

story, the unmistakeable ‘fifth portrait’ obverse of Her Majesty The Queen by

Jody Clark has been paired with his con-temporary figure of Britannia – a new denomination face value coin, featuring two iconic British figures, both by the same designer.

The Queen’s portrait has been a reassuring presence on the Mint’s coins for more than six decades, and this image, the fifth effigy, first appeared on U.K. coin-age earlier this year. The figure of Britan-nia is a popular representation of Brit-ain that has been reimagined through the centuries, and often reflects the United Kingdom at a moment in time. Today’s Britannia, depicted by Jody Clark, is strong and elegant, standing with the British lion at her side.

$1 GOLDEN EGGThe Republic of Palau recently released a $1 coin based on the shape of a Fabergé Easter

egg from around 1900.Thanks to micro minting technology, the

convex, oval coin presents the coat of arms of the issuing nation, the Republic of Palau, in unusual detail on its obverse. The design of the reverse is based on an original Fabergé Easter egg.

The second edition of the cupped, oval Golden Egg coin is a rendition of a min-

iature Easter egg from the House of Far-bergé around 1900. The original, made by

artist Michail Jewlampijewitsch Perchin, is now exhibited at the Liechtenstein National

Museum. The museum holds probably the most comprehensive Easter egg collection in the world, among

them the works of artist Carl Peter Fabergé. In his atelier in St. Petersburg he created the famous Fab-ergé eggs, which are today among the most coveted objects of art, for the Russian imperial family be-tween 1885 and 1917.

The egg, whose shape is adopted by Coin Invest Trust’s creation, evidently has a longstanding tradi-tion. While the egg already played a role as a symbol of fertility at the pagan celebrations of the spring equinox, it became a symbol of resurrection in Christianity. The old Egyptians believed that their god of sun had hatched from an egg, and in Indian mythology the egg is home to the entire cosmos.

The coloured reverse design of Golden Egg No. 2, just like its predecessor, is modelled on a Fabergé original. The coin is minted from a half gram of gold and, thanks to micro minting, achieves an unprec-edented wealth of detail in the obverse design.

The Proof-Like 99.99 per cent gold coin measures 9.7 by 13.92 mm and has a worldwide mintage of 5,000. The coin was designed by Coin Invest Trust and minted by B. H. Mayer’s Kunstprägeanstalt, in Munich.

TWO COINS FOR MAJOR ANNIVERSARIESPobjoy Mint recently announced the release of two new coins on behalf of Ascension Island. One

coin commemorates the 275th anniversary of the Composition of Rule Britannia, while the other celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Signing of the Magna Carta.

The patriotic British song ‘Rule, Britannia!’ originated from a poem written by James Thomson of the same name and was set to music in 1740 by Thomas Arne. The song has always been strongly associated with the Royal Navy, but was also used by the British Army. This British tune was first performed at Cliveden, the country home of Frederick Prince of Wales on Aug. 1, 1740.

Britannia, the female personification of the British Isles who is known as a symbol of British unity, liberty and strength, is depicted on the coin. Britannia is shown holding a shield displaying the Union Jack standing beside a regal looking lion. The obverse of the coin features an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS.

The Magna Carta is one of the most well-known documents in English History. It was not meant to be a lasting declaration of legal principle but was a practical solution to a political cri-

sis which served the interests of the Barons of the time by reassert-

ing the power of custom to limit the tyrannical behaviour of King

John. The document was written on parchment, the normal writing material at the time. It was authenticated with the Great Seal of King John. Three of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta have lost their wax seals over the centuries. It was sealed on June 1215 under oath by King John at Runnymede on the bank of the River Thames ,

near Windsor. The design on the coin is based on the domed memorial at

Runnymede in England which contains a pillar of English granite upon which is inscribed ‘To commemorate the Magna Carta, symbol of

Freedom under Law. The domed roof showing the stars can be seen with the central pillar leading down. King John’s original seal with shown within the roof with a ribbon curling down the pillar. Available in cupro-nickel and Proof sterling silver, the coin has been produced as a partially dished coin to replicate the domed roof of the memorial.

The obverse of the coin features an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley with each precious metal version struck four times.

All four coin are available in cupro-nickel and Proof sterling silver. The coins weigh 28.28 grams each and 38.6 mm in diameter. The Proof sterling silver has a worldwide mintage of only 10,000 while the cupro-nickel has an unlimited mintage.

The U.S. Mint has unveiled designs for commemorative coins honoring celebrated author Mark Twain and the 180th anniver-sary of his birth.

The coins’ designs are emblematic of Twain’s life and legacy. The gold coin’s obverse design features a portrait of Mark Twain with the inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2016.” The obverse was designed by Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) artist Benjamin Sowards and sculpted by United States Mint sculptor-engraver Don Everhart.

The gold coin’s reverse design depicts a steamboat on the Mississippi River. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “$5,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The reverse was designed by AIP artist Ronald D. Sanders and sculpted by United States Mint sculptor-engraver Joseph Menna.

The silver coin’s obverse design features a portrait of Mark Twain holding a pipe with the smoke forming a silhouette of Huck Finn and Jim on a raft in the background. Inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “N GOD WE TRUST,” and “2016.” The obverse was designed by AIP artist Chris Costello and sculpted by United States Mint sculptor-engraver Michael Gaudioso.

The silver coin’s reverse design features an assortment of characters leaping to life from Mark Twain’s works: The knight and horse from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, the frog from The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, and Jim and Huck from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “$1,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The reverse was designed by AIP artist Patricia Lucas-Morris and sculpted by United States Mint sculptor-engraver Renata Gordon.

NEWFOUNDLAND LARGE CENTS

Readily available in moderate grades (Good Fine), if the buyer takes the time to ask and/or look for them. But, they’re not usually found in a display format, rather in boxes and binder books. Many will be grubby and in need of care – with rewards to those who have the expertise and time to free them CORRECTLY from dirt and other contaminants. Most of the contaminant issues for the Victoria cents occur because dirt gets caught in the intricate Re-verse design of these coins.

Key dates in these lower grades need only a modest discount and a reasonable appearance to please the buyer; but sales are sporadic at best. Middle grades VF AU are no longer a snap to find, espe-cially for the Keys, Semi-keys and Sleeper dates

To help set the focus for these three short series it may be useful to sort the dates into three catego-ries – Common, Semi-key and Key with the easiest, in each cate-gory, listed first to last.

VICTORIA1872H, 1896, 1865, 1890, 1880

R0ED (Round 0 Even Date) – all common dates. Should not pose a serious challenge until one seeks a CH VF with minimal or no problems.

1873, 1876, 1894 – all Semi-keys. Reasonably available in Good VF; but more than a serious chal-lenge in CH VF and above.

1880 Oval, 1888, 1880 R0L0 (Round 0 Low 0), 1885 – the Keys. It likely comes as a surprise that I have listed the 1880 R0L0 as tougher than the 1885; but I ex-pect that the perceived value and rarity of this key will increase in the not distant future and lead to higher prices. Many 1880s dis-played as R0L0 in the marketplace are actually misattributed as such. All the Key and Semi-key dates are under-supplied in CH VF and above except the 1885.

Finding any dates from 1865 1896, except 1872H, in nice MS62 RB and higher is very tough and collectors need patience if they are seeking these higher qualities. Especially with copper, coins hav-ing the same grade may have un-equal eye appeal so the difficulty may be further increased if eye appeal is an additional require-ment.

EDWARDA mini-series with each date

taking a place, 1909 – common, 1907 – Semi key and 1904H – Key.

Grades below Fine 15, for all three dates, show weak demand. VF and above is usually the mini-mum requirement for most buy-ers. The 1904H is under-supplied in VF and up. The 1907 is under-supplied in

VF30 and above and under-rated in MS63 and higher. The 1909 also under-supplied between EF and MS62; but some of the long-ago hoard still turn up here and there, in 64 Red and above; although spot-free examples of these high grades are no longer abundant. Much of the demand for the remaining high grade 1909 cents is from Type collectors. This tiny series can be as easy or tough as one wishes dependent upon the grade level.

GEORGE VAll dates are available in VF

and lower, many without the problems and contaminants that are rife in the Vicky cents arena. Healthy discounts are the norm for most of the following dates ex-cept in the grades shown.

1913 – a little under-supplied in EF MS62; but examples of the long ago hoard are still turning up on occasion in MS64 Red and higher. Most of the MS66’s are long gone.

1917 – same as 1913 in EF MS63 – moderately under-sup-plied. Above 63 they are few and far between and patience will likely be needed to find an eye ap-peal example in these higher grades.

In Gem Red they may require years to locate.

1919 – Semi-key. Definitely un-der-supplied in CH VF and better, with grades in MS and above be-ing under-appreciated and in weak supply. Red examples in 64 or higher may require years to ac-quire.

1920 – the Key. Definitely un-der-supplied in all grades VF and above with high grades being truly RARE.

1929 and 1936 – I have lumped together because they have a simi-lar scarcity and demand pattern. Almost zero market interest un-less the coin is AU or better. Be-tween AU and MS63, most are go-ing to Date sets with MS64 Red and above going to Type and Date sets.

Pick a target grade-range rather than one grade only. This will of-fer more opportunities to find eye appeal examples and it may ac-celerate the speed at which you complete the series. Buy the Keys first if finances allow, especially if they’re attractive – commons will always be available. Only 21 dif-ferent dates and varieties and within the range of all collectors – modest or advanced. �

Canada Silver Wildlife 1 oz. SilverPrices seem to have stabilized on gold and silver. Silver is only about 1/3 of the high it had a few years ago and gold is only about 65% of its high. The interest has slowed down and it is always best to buy when prices are low. The national debts are not shrinking but increasing annually. Civil unrest worldwide is growing, not shrinking. War and threats of war are always increasing so all the fundamentals are all stronger than ever for tangibles and with precious metals be very portable and convertible in any currency any time anywhere. We feel you will be protected from any currency collapse or failure or infl ation.
