What Was Ivy Baker Priest's Line

Ivy Baker Priest was born in Kimberly, Utah in 1905. A staunch Republican, Priest began her political career as a delegate to the 1932 Republican State Convention. In 1934, her bid for the Utah legislature came up short but was elected as co-chair of the Young Republicans for the western states. While serving for the Republican National Committee, she helped organize Republican women’s study clubs throughout Utah.

In 1950 Priest ran for congress against incumbent Reva Beck Bosone (D). The race attracted national attention for being the first time two women were running for the same seat. Bosone won that election with 53-percent of the vote.

Priest continued to be active and worked to gain support for eventual Republican nominee Dwight D. Eisenhower during the 1952 convention. She became co-chair of the Eisenhower’s national campaign committee and worked to get women out to vote. Eisenhower rewarded Priest by appointing her as the 30th Treasurer of the United States.

Ivy Baker Priest was the mystery guest on the television game show “What’s My Line” that aired on August 29, 1954. Watch as she stumps the panel:

Appearing on WML after Priest on the same show was Debbie Reynolds.

Ivy Baker Priest is the mother of Pat Priest, better know for playing Marilyn Munster on the 1960’s hit sitcom, “The Munsters.”

Ivy Baker Priest died from the complications of caner in 1975.

Shepherd Doen't Know Either

On Dave Harper’s blog at Numismatic News, American Numismatic Association Executive Director Larry Shepherd called regarding being put on administrative leave.

According to Harper, Shepherd said, “I’m disappointed I was not told what the reasons for this was and I was not given an opportunity to defend myself to the board before they took this action.”

If Shepherd does not know why he was put on administrative leave, who does?

While it is important for the ANA to respect Shepherd’s privacy during an employment manner, I think the ANA should be responsible for telling Shepherd why they are taking this action. Then, unless there is a confidentiality agreement that would require Shepherd to remain silent, it should be up to him to chose whether to divulge the nature the problem.

The last time the ANA Board put an executive director on administrative leave, not only was it public, but the vote was also made public. While there was a lot animosity between the newly elected Board and then Executive Director Christopher Cipoletti with publicly made allegations of wrong doing, nobody seems to be aware of anything that Shepherd might have or have not done.

Let’s hope the ANA does the right thing and ends this soon.

Here We Go Again

On Tuesday, the American Numismatic Association announced that Executive Director Larry Shepherd was place on administrative leave. The entire statement released by the ANA is as follows:

American Numismatic Association Executive Director Larry Shepherd has been placed on administrative leave during an organizational review process, President Tom Hallenbeck has announced.

Newly elected Governor Greg Lyon wrote on the PCGS message board, “This decision was not taken lightly and was clearly in the best interest of the ANA. / At this point, an investigation will be conducted by a third-party group and any further decisions will be made by the board subsequent to that investigation.”

CoinWeek is reporting that the third-party group investigating the situation is Employer’s Resources of Colorado, a human resources service firm based in Colorado Springs.

“The Board felt that there was significant reason to take this action but details cannot be shared,” wrote Lyon in another post.

Ironically, this came after it was announced last Friday during an open meeting at the World’s Fair of Money that Cipoletti had resigned his member, ending the ANA’s association with the former Executive Director four-years after his removal.

The ANA’s recent history with Executive Directors is far from stellar. After the debacle that became the reign of Christopher Cipoletti as Executive Director, here is another situation where “something” causes the ANA Board of Governors to have to take action. Although the ANA has not disclosed the reason for this action citing privacy issues, it does not look good for the organization.

Making of the 2 Euro Coin

One of the reason I collect coins and write this blog is that I find coins interesting, regardless of whether they are modern or otherwise. I do not have to collect a particular coin type to be fascinated by them. Although I do not collect Euro coins, I am fascinated by the bi-metallic 1 and 2 Euro coins.

As with all Euro coins, the common reverse side shows its value and depicts a map of Europe representing the entire Eurozone. The obverse has what is called the “national side,” the side each member nation customizes to represent their unique place in the world. Some countries, like Belgium, uses the same design on all of their coins while others use different designs.

While all Euro coins are made of base metals, the 1 and 2 Euro coins are bi-metallic. For the 1 Euro coin, the inner part is made of copper-nickel with a silvery color while the outer part is made of a nickel brass and has a golden-like color. The composition is reversed for the 2 Euro coin.

The edge of the 1 Euro coin consist of alternating segments, three smooth, three finely ribbed.

The edge of the 2 Euro coin is finely milled with lettering that varies by nation, the same as the obverse.

What I find fascinating is that both metals are made separately but when they are struck, the design overlaps both metals and the striking process fuses the metals together. It was fascinating since I never thought about how the one and two Euro coins were until I came across a video show how the 2 Euro coins are made.

This video is from the National Geographic Channel. I am not sure what show it is from, but it shows how the 2 Euro coin is made:

American Silver Eagle 25th Anniversary Set Coming

The U.S. Mint announced that they will issue a limited-edition five coin silver set to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the American Eagle program.

The United States Mint American Eagle 25th Anniversary Silver Coin Set will include five one-ounce American Eagle Silver Coins:

1. one proof coin from the United States Mint at West Point
2. one uncirculated coin from the United States Mint at West Point
3. one uncirculated coin from the United States Mint at San Francisco
4. one reverse proof coin from the United States Mint at Philadelphia
5. one bullion coin

All five coins will be mounted in one custom-designed, highly polished, lacquered hardwood presentation case accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

The U.S. Mint plans to produce 100,000 of these set with a limit of 5 sets per household. They anticipates accepting orders in late October. Price has not been set.

The reverse proof American Silver Eagle appeared in the 20th anniversary set in 2006. It is am impressive looking coin of the Adolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty design. I will definitely be working the phones and online to order sets of these coins.

CCAC Looking For Two New Members

On Thursday, the U.S. Mint posted an announcement looking for applicants for two people to be appointed to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC). The CCAC is one of the advisory committees that reviews designs for coins and medals produced by the U.S. Mint (the other is the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts).

One of the open positions is for someone who is qualified in numismatic curation. This person would be someone who has been trained for or is working in an environment where they select, organize, and maintain a collection or exhibit. Most curators work for a library in their special collections department or a museum. There are some curators who work with private collections and foundations.

The other open position will represent the interest of the general public. In recent history, the person filling this position has been a coin collector but the person who is appointed to this position does not have to be a collector. An interest in coin design would be a great asset.

CCAC members serve four year terms and are considered Special Government Employees. CCAC members are not paid but can have travel expenses reimbursed at standard schedule rates. As a government employee, CCAC members are subject to conflict of interest laws and ethics regulations.

Individuals wanting to be considered for appointment as the CCAC member who is specifically qualified in numismatic curation or as a member representing the interests of the general public, should submit a letter, along with a resume or curriculum vitae, detailing specific educational credentials, skills, talents and experience. Applicants must specify the position for which they would like to be considered. Applications should be submitted by fax to 202-756-6830, or by mail to the United States Mint, 801 9th St., N.W., Washington, DC 20001, Attn: Andrew Fishburn. Submissions must be postmarked no later than September 15, 2011.

Good luck to any applicant!

Be Patriotic: Eliminate the Paper Dollar

When congress comes back to Washington to (hopefully) represent their constituency to carry out the nation’s legislative interests, a twelve-member bipartisan commission (a “super congress” as the press is calling them) must find a way to deal with the government’s debt and deficit by Thanksgiving or the law requires an additional $1.5 trillion in cuts, mostly to defense.

Followers of the debate have found that there are fundamental differences between both sides of the aisle as to how to manage the affairs of government. Rather than look for common ground and try to negotiate about the differences, their actions are reminiscent of a smoker who quits their habit but uses food to make up for the cigarettes trading one condition (cancer risk) for another (obesity). In an attempt to get them started, I have a proposal:

End production of the one-dollar Federal Reserve Note!

According to the most recent report from the Government Accountability Office, the independent, nonpartisan legislative branch agency that investigates how the federal government spends taxpayer dollar, the government could realize a savings of $5.5 billion dollars over 30 years by eliminating the paper dollar for coins.

By eliminating the one-dollar Federal Reserve Note, congress can begin show that they are willing make “difficult decisions” to help the economy while not stepping on either side’s political hot buttons. Also, if congress votes to eliminate the paper dollar, the approximately $1.1 billion of dollar coins sitting the Federal Reserve’s coin vaults will start to circulate in the economy. This is $1.1 billion dollars of money not doing anything but sitting. It would be a $1.1 billion stimulus to the economy that will not add any money to the deficit because the coins are already paid for.

If you add the $1.1 billion of existing money to a $5.5 billion in long term savings, that is a total of $6.6 billion of economic immediate economic stimulus that does not cost the government anything. Further, once the $1.1 billion is circulated in the economy, the money spent will generate additional revenues from the taxes collected by the economic activity, something both parties said they want to encourage.

But this is such a small amount compared to the total debt, why do it?

Using the correct form of the Lao-tzu quote: “The journey of a thousand miles begins beneath one’s feet.” Lao-tzu believed action naturally arises from stillness. This country has been still on its money production policies, it is a natural move to eliminate the one-dollar note. Or to use the more colloquial version: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Borrowing an anonymous response to a previous post:

You people need to get over yourselves - put it to a vote and the public does not want or need dollar coins! / Just because coin collectors want coins doesn't mean the rest of us need to suffer. / If it's dollar coins versus dollar bills... bye bye dollar coins.

It looks like saying that countries like Australia, Canada, France, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, and the United Kingdom eliminated their unit currency in favor of coins is not a good argument for some. Or that the European Union started this century with producing only a coin for the 1-Euro denomination will not work either. How about this:

Supporting the elimination of the paper dollar is the patriotic thing to do!

Is it patriotic to continue to waste money? Or is it our patriotic duty to do what is in the best interest of the country even it means making a few minor sacrifices for the common good? True patriots will make the adjustments and do what is right by the country!

Sacrificing for your country is the patriotic thing to do!

Congress Fires a Fastball

Every week I check the progress of coin bills in winding its way through congress. As there are new bills or updates, I make sure the Coin Bills in the 112th Congress page is updated. Having not done so since congress went on their summer vacation, I decided to see if there was anyto change prior to their leaving Washington.

As opposed to previous congresses, the 112th congress has been pretty dull when it comes to coin legislation. Not only have fewer bills been introduced, but the bills that have been introduced have been sitting in committee going nowhere. That is until now.

According to the record, the National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Act (H.R. 2527) was voted out of the House Financial Services Committee by voice vote on July 20 and ordered to be reported to the House Floor for consideration. Although the bill was also referred to the House Budget Committee, House rules allow Speaker of the House John Boehner to schedule it for debate and vote on the House floor without consent of the Budget Committee.

Of all the coin-related bills introduced in the 112th congress, this is the only one that has had any action following introduction.

Other than directing the U.S. Mint to strike $5 gold coins, silver dollars, and clad half-dollars in recognition of the National Baseball Hall of Fame during 2015, H.R. 2527 requires the coin to be concave/convex to depict a baseball on the reverse and have a competition for the obverse. Read my prior post, “A Commem to Take Out to the Ball Game” for more on this bill.

Given the toxic nature of how both sides of the aisle has done business, it is good to see at least one committee can come together for at least one bill!

A Manageable Lincoln Cent Collection [UPDATED]

After writing Collecting a Herd of Buffaloes, a reader and I have been discussing creating another type collection that would best represent the Lincoln Cent. The thought was that since the Lincoln Cent is over 100 years old with so many key (1909-S VDB, 1914-D, and 1931-S) and semi-key dates (1910-1915 S mint coins, 1924-D, and 1926-S) with some very interesting errors and varieties (1955 DDO, 1922 No/Weak D, and various small and large dates), that collecting the series may be too challenging for someone just starting collecting.

How does someone represent a series that spans over 100 years? First, looking at the basic type-set there are a lot of holes in the series. For example, after collecting the Type 1 Lincoln Cent (VDB on the reverse), the wheat-back design continues until 1958 with the only “change” being the zinc-coated steel cents struck in 1943. Aside from being uninteresting, it did not represent the history that the Lincoln Cent has seen through its first 50 years.

If we look at 20th century history, there seems to be a pattern of history being recorded every decade, or so. It is not a perfect cycle, but close enough to look at putting together a series by decade accounting for history, type changes, another of other factors to make the collection interesting. The first coin of this set is the 1909 VDB. With more than 27 million coins struck in Philadelphia, it is possible to get a fair price on a nice uncirculated red example. Since the Lincoln Cent was first struck in Philadelphia, it is appropriate to start a collection with the first coin produced for the series.

There was a lot of history in the 1910s. For collectors, much of the coins of the first half of the decade are expansive to find in higher grades. The only year that is affordable in higher grades is 1919. In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles officially ended the “War to End All Wars” (World War I) and the economy in the United States was still producing goods not only to rebuild the military but to sell to war-torn Europe. The high demand for cents made 1919 the year with the highest production making it more likely to find good examples in high grades.

The Roaring Twenties was known for its sustained economic stability, industrial growth, new inventions, art deco, women’s suffrage, and the wide acceptance of jazz music. It was also the decade that saw the growth of the organized crime controlling the illegal flow of alcohol and speakeasies. The demand for coins were great, especially in the second half of the decade. Almost any Lincoln Cent from 1926 through 1929 can be affordably purchased in uncirculated grades so we decided on 1927 to be a good representation of the era.

All went well until October 29, 1929, Black Tuesday. Subsequent years marked a great panic that included bank runs and high unemployment. Things became worse when Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon insisted on draconian measures that would close what he considered weak banks and transfer assets to larger banks at pennies on the dollar that wiped out many people’s savings. Rather than trying to infuse cash into circulation to try to spur the economy, Mellon advocated deep federal spending cuts to balance the federal budget and opposed economic stimulus measures. His plan did not help the economy and plunged the country deeper into the Great Depression. Mellon was accused purposely sabotaging the economy and colluding with bankers and industrialists to profit from the crisis. Just before a vote on the whether articles of impeachment would be sent to the full House from the House Judiciary Committee, Mellon was appointed Ambassador to the Court of St. James (United Kingdom) and resigned as Treasury Secretary.

When Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated, he appointed William Woodin as Secretary of the Treasury. Working with his predecessor, Ogden Mills, these men came up with a plan to try bring the country out o the depression. Part of the plan was to have FDR order gold withdrawn from private hands. Since Woodin was a coin collector, he made certain that the order include an exception for “rare and unusual coin types.” To honor Woodin and to have the collection represent the era, this Lincoln Cent collection will include a nice 1933 cent.

It is generally accepted that World War II began on September 1, 1939 when German invaded Poland although Japan invaded China in 1936. With Germany and Italy trying to conquer Europe and Japan attacking China and Russia from the Far East, there was a passivist movement in the United States. The problem was “over there” and had nothing to do with us. That changed on December 7, 1941 when the Japanese Navy attacked the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. A Declaration of War on Japan was passed on December 8 and on Germany and Italy on December 11. Since copper was necessary for the manufacture of ammunition and other armaments, laws were passed that changed the composition of the Lincoln Cent from bronze (copper-zinc) to zinc-coated steel. When the U.S. Mint struck the steel cents in 1943, it marked the only time in the country’s history that a circulating coin was struck without any copper. Finding high grades of steel cents are relatively easy and inexpensive because so many were minted. Thus, our collection will have one steel cent from each branch Mint.

From 1944-1946, spent shells from military training grounds were collected and melted to use for striking coins. Using those shells, the bronze composition returned and copper cents began to circulate driving the unpopular steel cents out of circulation. As a type, these coins are known as “Shotgun Cents” because of the use of the shell casings. Since both V-E Day and V-J Day both happened in 1945, this set will include a 1945 Lincoln Cent.

Following 1946, the composition of the cent changed slightly to a bronze that included copper (.950), zinc and tin (.050). This would remain the composition until 1982. Before then, the reverse design would change to the Memorial Reverse in 1959. First, we need a coin for this new composition. For this we decided on a 1955 cent. Aside from being plentiful and inexpensive in uncirculated red grades, it was the year that the Brooklyn Dodgers finally won the World Series—a fitting tribute for the decade. Then, add a 1959 first-year Memorial Cent to the collection to complement the first issue wheat-back cents.

Finding uncirculated red Memorial Cents are very easy. Many were struck in the billions and many were saved in collections and rolls making them highly available and very affordable. Choosing Memorial Cents is a matter of trying to match the dates with historical significance. For example, after the coin shortages of the early 1960s, the U.S. Mint stopped producing coins with mint marks. By omitting the mint marks, it was felt that collectors, who were initially blamed for the shortage, would not hoard coins. Once it was determined that collectors were not the cause of the shortage, mint marks returned to the Lincoln Cent in 1968. So let’s add a 1968-D cent to the collection to include the first coins struck with a mint mark after their removal in 1965.

The 1970s was an interesting decade that included the resignation of Richard Nixon, the American Revolution Bicentennial Celebration in 1976, and my high school graduation. But for the Lincoln Cent, this collection will have a 1974-S to represent the last S mint marked coin struck for circulation in San Francisco. Although some cents were struck in San Francisco in the 1980s, they were struck without mint marks and cannot be differentiated from coins struck in Philadelphia.

One more change in composition came in 1982 when the Lincoln Cent went from bronze to copper-coated zinc. Also in 1982, there was a change in the dies that caused both large and small dates to appear on both compositions. To mark this transition, the collection will include a set of all seven varieties that includes coins from both Philadelphia and Denver. Rather than buying these coins individually, the collection can include a pre-packaged set that can be bought from any dealer, at a coin show, or online for under $25. It is a perfect way to mark the transition.

For the Lincoln Cent, history there after was bland. But the collection needs a representative from the copper-coated zinc era to end the 20th century. We chose a 1999 Lincoln Cent for no other reason that while thinking about it, the song “1999” by Prince came up in the discussion. Since the song was release in 1982 on the album titled “1999,” it seemed a fitting tie in for the collection.


Next is a 2001 cent to celebrate the start of a new century/millennium (we count years from one, not zero!) and one from 2008 as the last Memorial Cent of the series. Of course the set will include the four types from the Lincoln Bicentennial and Cent Centennial celebration. However, since the bronze (copper-zinc) versions are available from the sets sold by the U.S. Mint, the set will include those instead of the copper-coated zinc coins that were circulated.

Finally, this collection ends (for now) with a 2010 Shield Reverse Cent so that we continue with the pattern with including an example from the first issues.

<UPDATE>
One of the reason I love my readers is that they can pick up on something I miss. One reader reminded me that a type set should include a Lincoln Cent with no designer initials. After the U.S. Mint removed the “V.D.B” on the reverse of the early 1909 cents, Victor D. Brenner’s initials did not reappear on the coin until 1918. So that the set is complete, a first-issue without initials 1909 is an affordable option.
</UPDATE>

When complete, our Lincoln Cent representative collection looks like:

• 1909 VDB, first issues
• 1909, for the first year of no “VDB” initials
• 1919, end of World War I
• 1927, the Roaring Twenties
• 1933, the Great Depression
• 1943 P-D-S Steel Cents
• 1944 Shotgun Shell Cents
• 1955, the 50s
• 1959 first issues of the Memorial Reverse Cents
• 1968-D, return of mint marks
• 1974-S, last year of S-mint circulated coins
• 1982 7-coin copper/zinc cents
• 1999, copper-coated zinc cents
• 2001, the new millennium
• 2009, 4-coin copper set
• 2010, first issues of the Shield Reverse

This collection is 26 27 coins making it more manageable and affordable than collecting the entire set. Dates can be changed or added to represent significant family events, such as the birth of family members. Youngsters can enhance their collection by writing a paragraph or two about each of the coins.

First National Parks Quarter Found in Change

Glacier National Park is located in northwest Montana named for its prominent glacier-carved terrain. The rugged terrain has been a favorite for hikers and photographers. In 1895, Chief Whit Calf of the Blackfeet tribe sold the land to the United States government for $1.5 million with the provision that the Blackfeet could continue to hunt on the land and that the land be made public land. By 1910, President William Howard Taft signed the bill that made the land a national park.

The Glacier National Park Quarter was the second of 2011 and the seventh in the America The Beautiful Quarters Program.

According to the U.S. Mint, 31.2 million Glacier National Park Quarters were struck in Denver and 30.4 million were struck in Philadelphia. Prior to that, 347 million quarters were produced in 2010 and 61.2 million Gettysburg Park Quarters were produced prior to Glacier National Park.

After all this production and over a year-and-a-half into the program, I received my first National Parks Quarter in pocket change. The quarter was given to me in a local grocery store after an early evening venture to fill the pantry. I was pleasantly surprised to see finally find one in change.

I also was able to take two 2010 Native American Dollar Coins from the cashier as part of my change. I will spend them over the weekend hoping they will continue to circulate and not end up back in the Federal Reserve’s coin room.

Markets Are Nervous

With the politics of the economy turning volatile, I tried to keep out of that discussion on this blog to keep the discussion to coin-related issues. But with the price of gold climbing to its highest nominal rates of all time, it is difficult to ignore the market. As I write this, gold is current 1793.20 per troy ounce on the spot market.

Market volatility has been blamed on many fronts. It started with Standard & Poor’s, the rating agency that gave top grades to derivatives that caused the market failures in 2008, downgrading the credit rating of the United States to AA+ from AAA. The word came across the pond that the PIIGS of Europe may not only be too big to fail, but too big to help. The PIIGS are the five Eurozone nations who are either in economic collapse or near one: Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain.

The more volatile the markets are, the more investors run for gold running up the prices.

But if you think the prices are high, consider what happened on January 18, 1980 when gold closed at 850.00 per troy ounce. That run up of gold came during the time that the Hunt Brothers were trying to corner the silver market as a reaction to the down economy and the rise in the solver market. Adjusted for inflation, $850 in 1980 would be equivalent to $2,328.44 in today’s dollars. If this does not dampen you excitement over the price of gold, you could watch the argument between “experts” who think $2,000 per ounce is possible versus others saying that gold could plummet in value. Consult a profession before you make any investment.

Silver has not faired as well as gold. While trying to figure out why, I found a lot of information that while both metals have industrial applications, gold is seen as a financial metal while silver is more plentiful and is considered a more industrial metal. Rather than investors trying to have silver keep pace with gold, the way gold kept pace with silver in 1980, the old 15-to-1 and even 25-to-1 silver to gold ratios are no longer valid measures. At the current 39.29 per troy ounce, the ratio is 44-to-1. Some believe that 35-to-1 and higher may be the new “normal.”

For a little perspective on the price of silver, it is currently training at 39.29 per troy ounce, down from its high of 48.70 on May 28. That did not pass the nominal close of 52.50 reached on January 7, 1980 when the Hunt Brothers tried to corner the silver market. Adjusted for inflation, the Hunt Brothers ran the price to the equivalent of 143.82 in today’s dollars. Even at a 25-to-1 ratio, the price of gold would have to climb to $3,575 per troy ounce before the value of silver breaks 1980’s records.

In 1980, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 832.00 on January 7 and 867.15 on January 18 before dropping in March. It would take the market until November 20 to close at over 1000 for the first time in its history. After dropping back and flirting with 1000 points a few more times, it would take until 1982 before the market climbed and stay over 1000 points.

What have we learned from this look at history? Not much. At first glance it looks like the economy is not as bad as it was in 1980. But that history was caused by market manipulation. Will history repeat itself? Time will only tell.

Minting the American Silver Eagles

Have you ever wondered about the production process for the American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins? American Eagle silver bullion coins are struck at the U.S. Mint facility at West Point located near the U.S. Military Academy. Originally built as a bullion depository, the facility strikes silver, gold, and platinum bullion and proof coins. It is not open to the public.

You can take a video tour of the facility (embedded below) through the U.S. Mint’s Mint TV YouTube channel. Jennifer Butkis, Production Manager at the West Point Facility guides the viewer through the minting process. At the end Tom Dinardi, Deputy Plant Manager, praises the work of the people at the facility.

Enjoy the video:
