Calgary Numismatic Society newsletter editor celebrates 40th anniversary By Jesse Robitaille

This September, the long-time editor of the Calgary Numismatic Society’s (CNS) monthly Bulletin celebrated his 40th consecutive year in that position. Neil Probert, an active collector for more than 55 years, joined the CNS as well as the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association

(RCNA) in 1972. Five years later, he published his first edition of the CNS newsletter. “I have always enjoyed putting out the Bulletin. And the Calgary club has always had a great volunteer base and a good executive to work with,” said Probert, who’s only the second person to ever serve in the editor’s position.

Creative shapes, sophisticated applications of colour and selective gold plating are but a few of the eye-catching features to be found on these new keepsakes. By turning its popular egg-shaped coins upside down, the Mint has created a novel and fitting tribute to Canada’s numerous ballooning festivals on the 2017 $20 Fine silver coin – Hot Air Balloons. Designed by artist Calder Moore, it features a vibrantly coloured scene of a balloon flotilla, including one displaying a red and white maple leaf design, rising over a majestic Canadian landscape on a perfect summer morning.

Opinions expressed in signed columns, stories, and letters are not necessarily those of Canadian Coin News . Auction and sales reports: CCN staff or assigned contributors write pre- and postsale articles. Writers conduct interviews as needed and use information provided by the auction house as source material. As with all news art icles, story selection, which sales to cover, and final placement in the magazine are news decisions made by the editor(s). Statements regarding sales are verified against prices realized. Lots that fail to meet reserve, or are bought by the consignor or their agent, are considered nonsales for the purpose of reporting. From time to time, CCN staff may request a copy of the invoice covering the auction transaction. Due to the public nature of auction transactions, this should not be needed often, but will be required in private treaty sales. Any information other than t he price will be kept in confidence. Attributions and values: Items attributed or values in CCN editorial content are

offered as a service to our readers. In no way should they be construed to be an endorsement or official opinion on a specific item. Readers looking for definitive answers should seek the services of a professional numismatist. While we strive for accuracy, errors or mistakes can occur. As a matter of policy such errors or mistakes, when discovered, will be corrected in the next available edition. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Canadian Coin News welcomes letters to the editor.

Letters must be signed and include the author’s address and phone number for possible verification. CCN reserves the right to edit or reject letters. REPRINT RIGHTS: Canadian Coin News assumes that letters to any department and

all unsolicited material submitted are contributed gratis and are for publication unless otherwise stated. Solicited material will be deemed accepted upon publication.

brary or, in the case of my Numismatic Fringe column, surf and search for new numismatic issues that haven’t been reported on as yet. There are emails to check back on and other collectors to correspond with. When I find a particular new item, it may entail somehow contacting the issuing agent, whether via email enquiry or phone or even face-to-face in some instances, to get the information I require. Once I gather all of the information I need, it’s time to start typing and crafting my words and story so that all of you readers can – not only learn from what I have written – but also enjoy the reading experience itself, or so I hope. After finishing the rough draft, comes the re-reads, spell-checking and word count. At the beginning of each article, I also number and caption all of the photos that I will be using for that particular piece. Then I send the article off to CCN and I wait for its publication. Of course, there’s still a lot of work to do at CCN’s end, but I think I will leave that one for another article. At this point, I’m usually feeling quite relieved for having met my deadline and also quite proud for churning out another Pulitzer Prize winner or two (oh, dream on Jeff!!). The proudest moment, is in seeing that article in print and being told on occasion by a fellow collector or writer that they really enjoyed reading my ramblings – maybe even learned a thing or two from all of it. That makes it all worthwhile! W

FRENCH GOLD COIN

Lot 153 is a 1723-E Louis d’Or gold coin (Gadoury-338) in Extremely Fineplus. On its obverse, the gold coin features a right-facing bust of French King Louis XV, who was succeeded by his grandson, the aforementioned Louis XVI,

This 1921 five-cent coin is expected to realize $5,500 when it crossed the auction block as part of Numismatic and Military Sale No. 124 hosted by Jeffrey Hoare Auctions this September.

Other highlights of the sale, which is being hosted in conju nction with the London Numismatic Society, include Lot 152, a 1670A Five Sols silver coin (Br-502) that was struck for use in the colonies of New France. 6

in 1774. The obverse also includes “LUD XV DG FR ET NAV REX” around the top and the year-date “1723” at the bottom. With some “very light adjustment marks” on the reverse, this example – also formerly of the Frank Haley Collection – has a pre-sale estimate of $2,000. QSA MEDAL

Lot 255 is a rare Boer War medal given to a Canadian war correspondent on July 17, 1903. This 1899-1902 Queen’s South Africa (QSA) medal has no clasps and is impressed: “MR. S. McKEOWN BROWN. MAIL & EMPIRE.” According to auctioneers, Stanley McKeown Brown was attached to the Royal Canadian Regiment during his time in South Africa. He wrote a book, With the Royal Canadians , which was about his war-time experience, including how he was wounded in the action at Zand River. “The bullets coming my way were cracking a little too lively for pleasure.

An almost uncirculated collection of news, views and more… MAN ARRESTED AFTER ANCIENT COINS FOUND

A 52-year-old British ambulance driver is facing upwards of one month in a Turkish jail while he awaits a legal decision after being accused of smuggling ancient coins found by his children during the family’s vacation. Toby Robyns, of Southwick, a small town in West Sussex, was arrested at Turkey’s Milas-Bodrum international airport on Aug. 19. It’s reported airport security found 12 coins – later determined to be “historical artifacts” – in his luggage. Robyns was returning from a family vacation and upon interrogation told Turkish officials the coins were found by his children while they were swimming. “This was an innocent, albeit foolish, mistake and we now need to ensure Mr. Robyns is treated fairly and properly,” said MP Tim Loughton, who added he’s working with the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office “to establish all of the facts.” After an initial court hearing on Aug. 24, Robyns remains in Turkish jail while he awaits a decision. The father of five was initially detained at Milas prison but has since been moved to Mugla prison. The 12 coins were sent by Turkish officials to Milas Museum for authentication. If Robyns is found guilty, he could face a sentence of up to 10 years. According to a story published by BBC late last month, Loughton said he was disappointed the judge did not dismiss the case against Robyns at the initial hearing. “As I have said before, this was an innocent albeit foolish mistake and I hope the judge will dismiss the case as soon as possible,” Robyns told BBC. “There is an added concern that the judge’s final decision, to pardon or sentence, could take up to a month; however, we can be encouraged that we have a good ambassador working in Turkey who is pulling out all the stops to ensure Mr. Robyns is treated fairly and properly.” MAN CHARGED WITH SELLING FAKE COINS

A 32-year-old Rochester, N.Y. man was recently charged with fraudulently selling counterfeit coins, according to a statement issued last month by Acting U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. Timothy Meacham is accused of selling two fake gold coins for $5,000 US to

counterfeits were struck in Belleville, but for use in Lower Canada. These counterfeits were of excellent quality as compared to the “junk” circulating in Lower Canada. The Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens lists ten 1832 halfpenny varieties while Gregory Ingram and Branko Marelic classify eight varieties and a subvariety in their 2008 book, The Provincial Penny and Half-Penny Tokens of Nova Scotia – The Thistle Series. Of these varieties, one of the most mysterious is recorded in the Charlton catalogue (NS3A4, Breton No. 871), as well as by Ingram and Marelic and by R.C. Wille y in his article “Colonial coinages of Canada – The semi-regal coinages of Nova Scotia,” which appeared in the February 1980 Canadian Numismatic Journal. The token illustrated here is one such example. While it’s diameter of 28.28 mm is within the range of the genuine tokens, it’s weight of six grams is below the range of the genuine series, eight to 8.6 grams. Several other characteristics help us to attribute this token. Although on the reverse the number of points on the left thistle is not completely clear, it is evident that the thistle stem points to the number 3 in the date. On the obverse, there are two locks of hair on the forehead with the top lock touching the letter O and F of the word OF. One of the most fascinating and compelling features of this variety is a die clash. “When the obverse clashed with the reverse, impressing the word TOKEN incuse and reversed over the word SCOTIA, the obverse die was discarded,” Willey explains. This clash is present on the token illustrated. This obverse die was also used for the elusive 1382-dated counterfeit. The popularity of this variety is evidenced by Geoffrey Bell Auctions’ July 21, 2016 sale, where one in F+ realized $110 plus buyer’s fee and taxes on an estimate of $150 to $175. W

Beaver Preserve Tokens up for auction eoffrey Bell Auctions once again has an in-

Gteresting pair of tokens consigned for their

September Toronto Coin Expo Sale - lots 1119 and 1120. The beaver, or more specifically, the trade in its valuable pelt, played a central role in the early exploration and settlement of Canada. However, the increasing demand for pelts eventually took its toll on beaver populations. The lands around Hudson and James Bays once teemed with beaver, but by 1930 overhunting and disease had reduced the population to near extinction. It was James Watt, post manager for the Hudson’s Bay Company at Rupert House, who developed the idea of the Beaver Preserve. When Aboriginal trappers located an occupied beaver lodge, Watt would pay them to allow the pair to breed. The First Nations also received a ration of staples to encourage them not to kill the beaver for food. Watt and his

wife Maud eventually persuaded the Quebec government to establish a beaver sanctuary covering 7,200 square miles, under a lease with Mrs. Watt. No beavers could be trapped on the preserve until the population reached an acceptable level. The first quota of 450 beaver was trapped in 1940, and by 1944 there were 13,000 live animals. It is believed that the Beaver Preserve tokens were used to monitor the growth of the beaver population. The Indians received a numbered token for each beaver on their trapping lands and the head of each family was given a badge designating that person as a Beaver Warden. The tokens were first issued during the 1930s and were struck in brass. Only 3 aluminum tokens are known to exist, likely struck during World War II when brass was restricted to use in the war effort. Beaver Preserve tokens are believed to have been in use until the early 1950s.

This represents a portion of the article by Donald M. Stewart entitled “The Beaver Preserve Tokens” published in the Canadian Token , March 1984. 

Toronto Coin Expo Owner acquires Paris Show… Come Grow with the Show! Jared Stapleton

UNPRECEDENTED INTEREST IN MONCTON SALE Three hundred and fifty lots have been received and catalogued already says Brian Bell, owner of Geoffrey Bell Auctions. “We’re already at our September target” only six days into the month. This solidifies the interest in our offerings, even in the lower volume sales. This led to discussions with the new owner of the Paris Coin Show, Jared Stapleton, who is also Brian’s show partner with the Toronto Coin Expo. Brian has previously stated that concerns regularly arose because of the lack of opportunities between the fall and spring auctions. “People wanted options at certain times of the year that we could not previously accommodate. Jared’s acquisition allows us to cross-promote and offer our clientele more flexibility to sell their items when they want, we’re very excited to continue our successes with Jared, we have a great partnership”. Geoffrey Bell Auctions will now add February and August dates to their calendar to round out 2018. “We thought this would be a perfect fit to accommodate further growth.”

Notes & BILLS By Stanley Clute

W

ith the release in June of the new sesquicentennial $10 note, it seems like a good time to review Canada’s $10 bill issues over the past 150 years. Following Confederation on July 1, 1867, the new government was faced with filling many needs for the new nation. One of these needs was to provide uniform official issues of money, both paper and metal. The first paper money the new country adopted was a re-

cent provincial issue. The unification of the first four colonies occurred within a year of the Province of Canada’s launch of its own new notes dated 1866. The new federal government took over responsibility for the stock of unissued provincial notes, making them notes of the dominion instead. Among these notes was a $10 denomination, its face design including a representation of Christopher Columbus and some of his sailors at the left, a

numerical counter and a collage of a lion and other images in the middle above the issuing authority and the words TEN DOLLARS, and two beavers at work at right beneath a counter. The back features lathework, and the name of the issuing authority between a large X at either end. There were also many chartered bank note issues of various denominations still in production and circulation at the time. However, in 1880 the federal government restricted the Following Confederation in 1867, the new federal government banks to issuing only notes of $5 denomination and its muladopted the recently issued Province of Canada 1866-dated notes as its official currency, including the $10, which depicts tiples, including $10, $20, $50, and $100 notes.

The Bank of Montreal, for example, issued a $10 note dated 1882. The main feature of its face are two bank officers on either side with numerical counters above them and the bank’s name above cherubs playing around an ornate letter X. The back of the bill consists of lathework, counters and a vignette of St. George slaying the dragon. The government was content to let the chartered banks fill the need for these denominations for many years with the exception of the $5 issues of 1912 and 1924. With the establishment of the Bank of Canada in 1935, the chartered banks were were forced to cut back their notes in circulation to 25 per cent of their paid-up capital. In 1944, they were forbidden from issuing any notes after Jan. 1, 1945. The Bank of Canada’s first issue, dated 1935, includes an attractive $10 denomination. This note – like the other denominations in the series – was issued in separate English and French language printings. The main colour of this note is purple, with black printing on the face. It features a portrait of Princess Mary at the left, the bank’s name above counters over lathework in the middle, and the bank’s seal at the right. Counters appear in the corners. The back shows a harvest allegory vignette in the middle and large counters amid lathework. By the time of the first and only issue of King George VI, it had been decided that it would be too expensive to continue producing separate


English and French notes. Thus the 1937 notes – and all issues since – are bilingual. All notes of this series, except for the $100 and one $1,000 denominations, feature a portrait of the king in an oval in the middle with the name of the Bank of Canada in English to the left and in French to the right, with bilingual counters below. Counters also appear in the corners. The back depicts the Roman god Mercury with planes, trains and ships, the whole being an allegory of transportation, with large numerical counters on either side with lathework. The colour for the denomination continued to be purple, with black printing on the face. King George VI was succeeded by his daughter, crowned in June 1953 as Queen Elizabeth II. Her first Canadian notes are the series of 1954. A brief mention should be made here of the “Devil’s Face” variety in which a faithful engraving of the portrait photo that was used resulted in the appearance of what looks like a demonic face in the queen’s hair to the right of her ear. Public indignation resulted in the hair being modified to remove this illusion. The “Devil’s Face” occurs only on notes with the Coyne-Towers and Beattie-Coyne signature com binations. The face of the 1954 $10 shows the Queen’s young portrait at the right, with the word CANADA above TEN DOLLARS at left, a large 10 in the centre, and DIX DOLLARS to its right. Below this is a ribbon bearing the words BANK OF CANADA – BANQUE DU CANADA. The back is almost completely occupied by an engraving of Mount Burgess, part of the Rocky Mountains, in British Columbia. The colour continues to be purple. The next $10 note to be issued was that of 1971. The predominant colour continues Continued on page 19

rom John G.: “You stated in a recent column about Ricky Morse and his intentional wooden nickel errors, that Robert Aaron is responsible for designing and naming the CIAC logo. I always thought it was Hans Zoell. Which is correct?”

The name of the first error organization in Canada, formed in the early 1960s, was the Canadian Numismatic Variety Collectors Association (CNVCA). Zoell became the editor and publisher of the Ervar Digest , the name given to its official publication. Both the name of the organization and the publication were the brainchil d of Zoell, who also designed the CNVCA’s logo. However, credit for naming the “Coin Irregularity Association of Canada” (CIAC) indeed goes to Aaron, who also proposed The Kayak as Figure 1. The cover of The Kayak , official publication of Coin Irregularity Association of Canada, was designed by Hans Zoell.

Pittman never pushed the bidding to the retail level even though it was a donation auction, with one exception. I recall Lea Ayoub winding up with a pricier lot because he crossed his legs at the wrong time. Ayoub never attended a function for which there was a charge. He would sit on the sideline or show up after dinner was served to take in the proceedings and the fun without paying for the privilege. I tipped Pittman off about his habit, resulting in him accepting a “bid” from Ayoub. After some prodding from Pittman, Ayoub wound up paying indirectly for his attendance without getting to eat the meal. Zoell bid on some 1964 extra waterline five-cent pieces that he had donated. I don’t recall what else he bid on, which is too bad because having something identified as “ex-Zoell collection” would surely increase its appeal and even its value. Some of the die varieties and errors in the donation auction were similar to the ones in Figure 3. There were so many lots that everybody “bid” on something, although he left me alone. He knew that the show already cost me a chunk of change because our income was limited to the donation auction proceeds, a small bourse table fee and the sale of two wooden nickels. The costs associated with the show Figure 2. John J. Pittman volunteered to conduct the donation auction at the 1966 Canadian Numismatic Variety Collectors Association convention.

covered location, signage, promotions, competitive award trophies, free coffee and draw prizes. Or he just knew how poor I was. Incidentally, of all the hundreds of different wooden tokens issued by Morse, none were “official” issues. The only ones that were authorized by the CNVCA executive are the set of two that issued as fundraisers for that inaugural 1966 show. The profits from their sale helped offset the cost of convention expenses. I arranged to have 500 of each of two varieties of woods manufactured by Texas’ Gelven Leeper (because of Canadian Customs rulings, “MADE IN U.S.A.” appears

on the woods). Shown in Figure 4 are the common obverse and the two varieties of the reverse with a normal V and upside-down V in CNVCA. THE UNIQUE GCS SLAB

Some time ago, I covered the slabbing of errors as well as regular coins in third-party holders. One of the holders I did not include is the one patented by Global Certification Services, Inc. (GCS). Of all the holders being used by both the top-tier graders and all of the “also-rans,” I like the one used by GCS, shown in Figure 5, the best. The company patented a holder in 1987 where space is provided for an enlarged image on the front beside the coin. The back of the slab con-

tains the grade and an informative description that ties into the subject of the coin (the history of the Widow’s Mite in this example). Because they are not accepted by the Professional Numismatic Guild (PNG) and eBay as a top-tier grader, you must consider the benefits of using either a top-tier thirdparty grading company or the GCS holder. The beautiful appearance of the GCS packaging and the amount of information on the slab is more appealing to me than any slight increase in the eventual resale value. I wanted to contact Global for this column to confirm that it would certify Canadian errors and die varieties and the sort of detail the graders would include, but ran into a dead end. A Google and telephone company search did not give me current contact information. If anybody has a current telephone number or email address for GCS, please let me know. GPS CHIPS FIT

ANY SIZE COINS

Figure 5. The Global Certication Services holder includes a colourful photo as well as detailed information.

In the recent column about magician and spy coins, I sarcastically stated the purpose of Canada’s $1-million gold coin was so that a Global Positioning System chip could be built into it so as to keep track of people with sensitive classified information. I mentioned that a two-by-three-inch chip would fit into it. I obtained the size from a press release by Quantum Satellite Technology, which was going to sell a line of sneakers that included a tiny GPS chip. The chip offered peace of mind to people who might have wandering children, elderly parents or Alzheimer’s patients. The sneakers sold for $350 US a pair, of which 1,000 were made. You also had to pay a

monthly fee of $19.95 to be able to activate the GPS device. The technology would also be put into military boo ts, which again mentioned “a 2 by 3 inch chip” in the news release. However, it is no longer necessary to hand out coins the size of the Canadian million-dollar piece to anyone from whom we might obtain information that is beneficial for our national security. Bill Christensen of Technovelgy stated in a press release that its new chip “can be incorporated into paper currency and gift certificates … or spy coins.”

The RFID tag looks like a speck of dust on a human fingertip. The “powder type” tags are barely noticeable next to a human hair, as shown in Figure 6. In his 1998 novel Distraction , Bruce Sterling referred to “bugged money”: “They always played poker with European cash. There was American cash around, flimsy plastic stuff, but most people wouldn’t take American cash anymore. All the bigger bills were bugged.” In the 1996 movie Miss ion Impossible , one of the IMF op eratives places a tracking tag on the shoulder of a computer programmer. In Star Trek VI:

Figure 6. Current RFID chips (black dot on a nger) are much thinner than a strand of hair.

Hitachi introduced the world’s smallest and thinnest Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags around the same time. These RFID chips measure just 0.05 by 0.05 millimetres. RFID refers to small electronic devices that use a tiny antenna to transfer small amounts of data for identification purposes, such as used in the tap and pay cards.

A RARE WWI TRIO TO COMMANDING OFFICER OF CC-1, CANADA’S FIRST SUBMARINE

Lot 261 is a British Great War trio of medals, including 22

In fact, the special RCNA 150 set should actually include 29 medals (at least for those of you who like to collect errors). According to Dan McCormick, president of the Atlantic Provinces Numismatic Association, “The Halifax medal in the RCNA set issued by the Halifax Regional Coin Club features the Halifax Citadel, but another design was used by accident initially, that featured the same obverse as the 1999 APNA This rare Boer War medal, given to a Canadian war correspondent on July 17, 1903, is expected to bring $1,800.

Continued from page 6

About one hundred yards behind the Canadians’ firing line I sat down, at ten o’clock, to rest, and here it was that I was hit in the right thigh by a Mauser bullet. Then I was taken back to camp,” wrote Brown, in his 1900 book, which is available for free on the Chief Military Personnel website at cmp-cpm. forces.gc.ca/dhh-dhp/his/ docs/South_Africa.PDF. He is listed on the QSA medal roll as “Correspondent for the Mail and Empire.” This example has a grade of Polished Very Good and is expected to bring $1,800.

SURPRISE ADDITION

a 1914-15 Star medal and 1914-18 British War and Victory Medals issued to “LIEUT. F.B. HANSON. R.N.” Francis Beversham Hanson was born in 1890 in Hampstead, London. He was the son of Edward Beversham Hanson, a civil engineer by trade, and was eventually commissioned to be the midshipman on May 15, 1907.

Three years later, Hanson was promoted to sub-lieutenant, and three years after that he was made first lieutenant. At that point, in 1913, he was seconded to the Royal Canadian Navy on what would be the beginning of the Great War, during which time he served as a pioneering submariner in the newly formed Canadian Submarine Service. This swing-mounted trio of medals has been assigned a grade of Very-Fine and is expected to realize $1,000. Rounding out the highlights is Lot 70, an 1855 U.S. $3 coin in Very Fine-20. It has a pre-sale estimate of $800. For more information, visit jeffreyhoare.on.ca. W

A number of the clubs participating in the RCNA Canada 150 medal program had some silver medals struck as well. All of these have very low mintages. Most of these sold out at the RCNA convention – at least those that were available to collectors who were in attendance. A small number of clubs had struck silver pieces by pre-order only and were not available to RCNA attendees. The Canadian Centennial Collectors Club’s Canada 150 silver medal, for example, has a mintage of only 10 pieces and was sold out prior to the convention.

Club Timbres & Monnaies Du Saguenay’s Canada 150 medal depicts a hand holding a Canadian ‘loon’ dollar and a stamp on a platter.

heyday of coin collecting in the 1960s. Like many other Canadians, they wanted to do something to commemorate Canada’s centennial year. Quite appropriately, they chose to issue a medal. The medal was cast in bronze – not struck – by Industrial Fine Castings, with only 150 produced. The piece is today highly sought after by collectors of centennial medals. It rarely turns up, even in the price lists of dealers specializing in this type of material, and when it does, it generally commands a healthy sum.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS DELIVERED ON DISNEy COIN

New Zealand Mint’s Disney Season’s Greetings one ounce silver coin features a nostalgic colour illustration of Mickey Mouse from the 1957 Disney Corporate Season’s Greetings card. It shows Mickey Mouse dressed as Santa, delivering presents for his surprised friends. The words Christmas Greetings are engraved below. The packaging for the coin has also been designed to replicate the card. The Certificate of Authenticity is printed onto the packaging and there is a limited mintage of 10,000 coins. This is the Mint’s third Disney Collectible Coin to feature artwork from The Walt Disney Company’s corporate Season’s Greetings cards of years past. The original cards were created exclusively for key figures in the motion picture industry by the talented artists and designers of The Walt Disney Company.

The Royal Mint is celebrating the achievements of Sir Isaac Newton and its unique relationship with the great man, with the release of a range of commemorative 50p coins, 375 years after the year he was born. Sir Isaac Newton was the most significant figure of the ‘scientific revolution’ of the 17th century. His legacy shaped society’s understanding of mathematics and physics and helped define the modern world, but many will be unaware that he was master of The Royal Mint for nearly three decades. When he was appointed Warden of the Mint in 1696, at the age of 53, Newton was already a worldrenowned scientist. His greatest achievements include the invention of calculus, the ‘mathematics of change’ that enables humans to understand the behaviour of objects as tiny as electrons or as large as galaxies. His Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, published in 1687, is the single most influential book on physics ever written. As the leading light of a new generation of scientists Newton focused on the search for general laws and mathematically exact data. He brought his pursuit of precision to his role at The Royal Mint and much of his work had a far-reaching effect on coinage and the British economy. His meticulous report of 1717, commonly known as ‘the valuation of the guinea’, was pivotal in establishing gold coin as the pre-eminent currency of the United Kingdom. It suggested establishing the gold guinea’s value at 21 shillings which paved the way for the introduction of the gold standard a century later. The Sir Isaac Newton 2017 50p commemorative coin range include: • Sir Isaac Newton 2017 UK 50p Brilliant Uncirculated Coin • Sir Isaac Newton 2017 UK 50p Gold Proof Coin • Sir Isaac Newton 2017 UK 50p Silver Proof Piedfort Coin • Sir Isaac Newton 2017 UK 50p Hand-Toned Silver Proof Coin Aaron West is a member of The Royal Mint’s team of graphic designers. He achieved a degree in graphic design, and a PGCE in Higher Education, from The University of South Wales, Newport before working in retail advertising, graphic design and teaching. This is West’s second commemorative UK coin design, following the Great Fire of London 2016 UK £2 coin commemorating the blaze that destroyed the city 350 years ago. His design is based upon elements of Proposition 11, in In book one of Newton’s The Principia: Mathematical Principles Of Natural Philosophy. “I wanted to approach the choice of design differently, rather than simply creating a portrait of Newton. Instead I researched the scientific elements of Newton’s theories, particularly the ones related to Newton’s laws and bodies in space. The biggest challenge was representing the theory within the scope of the coin. Once that was achieved I worked with The Royal Mint coin designers to find the background details that would complement the theory. In order to achieve flat patterns and reflected shapes within the design, watch faces became a big part of the inspiration. Circular lines worked best, which are slightly angled to reflect the light in layers.” For more details, visit http://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/375th-anniversary-ofsir-isaac-newton.

COIN MARKS 20TH ANNIVERSARy OF PRINCESS DIANA’S DEATH

In tribute to Princess Diana whose life tragically came to an end on Aug. 31, 1997, Pobjoy Mint introduced a stunning coin on behalf of the Ascension Island Government to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her death. The centre of the reverse features a beautiful Diana Rose, a rose named after Diana as she was known as England’s Rose. The beautifully coloured pack features an exclusive portrait of the Princess by Pobjoy Mint. The fairy tale romance of Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles raised worldwide interest in Britain’s Royal Family. On July 29, 1981 millions crowded the London streets to catch a glimpse of the couple before they exchanged vows at St Paul’s Cathedral. In the early years of her marriage Diana appeared a shy, private member of the British aristocracy, however, her grace and nobility won the hearts of the nation and she soon blossomed into the people’s princess. Throwing herself into her royal duties exhibiting a warmth and concern for all those causes she supported, Diana became the most photographed member of the Royal Family. Such public devotion led millions of mourners to line the route of her funeral procession from Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey on Aug. 31, 1997. Most wept or watched in silence as the gun carriage passed carrying Diana’s coffin, but some applauded quietly as a sign of appreciation for their much loved princess.

Probert... Continued from page 1

the club’s president in 1961, was the newsletter’s first editor. In September 1977, the editor position became available, and Probert – then the club’s secretary – assumed the role. He published his first edition of the CNS newsletter in October 1977 with a three-page overview of numismatic news from Calgary and beyond. “This year’s convention in Vancouver was very successful and a number of our members attended,” wrote Probert about the 1977 convention of the Canadian Numismatic Association (now the RCNA). “A full report on the convention will be presented at the next meeting.” A preview of the club’s Octo ber and November meetin gs – the latter of which was organized “entirely by junior members” – were also provided alongside a review of the September meeting. FOUR DECADES IN, STILL HANGING ON

“Like a limpet on a boat’s hull, he has hung on ever since,” said CNS Secretary Ron Moore.

For the first four years, Probert typed the newsletter on special paper that was copied using a Gestetner copier, which is named after its inventor David Gestetner. This process was “revolutionized” in 1981 with a Xerox photocopier, and by 1991, digital word processors came onto the scene. “To this day, Neil has not graduated beyond Microsoft Word in his monthly production,” added Moore. Probert, who also served as CNS president in 2005 as well as 1978-79, added the biggest change he’s noticed since publishing the first edition of the newsletter in October 1977 is the way it’s produced. “I bought my first computer in 1986 which made typing better. I still had to copy 60 to 70 copies and then fold, stuff them and mail them out,” he said. “Now we only mail out 12 copies to older members and email about 110 to members, other coin clubs in Western Canada, and prospective members.” Understandably, after four decades in the editor’s chair, Probert believes a well-done newsletter can “make a difference in the success of a club.” “So I try to let members know what is going on in coin collect-

ANA’S BEST CLUB

NEWSLETTER AWARD

After four years on the job, Probert learned about the American Numismatic Association (ANA) Outstanding Club Publication Contest, which hands out a first-, second- and third-place award for outstanding local numismatic publications each year. After his first submission in 1981, Probert was advised by the ANA to change the newsletter’s style to bulletin format – that is from a letter format to a two-col-

umn layout – and the results were spectacular. The CNS Bulletin won first place in the annual ANA Publication Competition in 1983, 1986 and 1990. Second place was awarded to the Bulletin in 1992 and 2004 while third place was won in 1987, 1991, 1993, 1995, 2001 and 2002. “In short, the CNS has 11 top three places in the United States with over 200 coin clubs,” said Moore. “In Canada, with under 30 clubs, Neil garnered best in show but twice, but at least it was back to back trophies in 1998 and 1999.” A UNIQUE ACCOMPLISHMENT

has been editor through 20 different CNS presidents (and 24 different presidential terms as four people, including Probert, served as president on two separate occasions). “My conclusion is that nowhere else in a Canadian coin club has anyone been the editor of a club newsletter for 40 years. I have heard of CN Rail engineers working for 50-plus years, but that is a job for which they are paid. In most volunteer organizations most people burn out in less than 10 years. One would also not be too wrong in saying that no coin club on the planet has had an editor for 40 consecutive years,” said Moore, who added Probert has announced he will continue to produce the CNS bulletin “for the foreseeable future.” “As always, Neil Probert is self-effacing. Neil has been through the whole wringer of the CNS since the early ’70s,” said Moore, who added Probert’s patience and longevity is “something that should be recognized as being the glue that keeps a volunteer organization together.” For more information about the CNS, visit calgarynumismaticsociety.org.

As well, the RCNA host club – The Association numismates et des philatélistes de Boucherville (ANPB) – issued a three medal set commemorating the 350th anniversary of Boucherville. For collectors of Canadian medals and tokens, and especially collectors of Canadian club medals, the RCNA presented a fabulous opportunity to acquire a number of newissue pieces for their collections.

Trends... Continued from page 28

Some George VI issues, in choice and gem grades have been reduced. Again, this was determined by reduced results in auctions and by population data. One date in particular, namely 1945, has seen the num ber of coins in MS-63 through MS-65 increase to levels that nearly match the number of other dates, from 1941 through 1944. Taking into account PCGS data and that there are a couple of date varieties which could increase demand for gem coins, the price remains somewhat higher than the aforementioned dates. Increased population numbers also led to a reduction of prices for the dates 1939 and 1946, as well as 1950. I have also reduced most prices for nickel half dollars, in MS-64 and MS-65, as they seem much more available than in the past. Population data analysis led to one interesting conclusion regarding the 1947 dated coins. The Curved 7 variety has always been regarded as scarcer than the Straight 7 variety. However, if you study popula-

tion numbers, they are virtually identical to each in the number of Mint-State coins graded. This similarity in numbers ends at the Gem grade, where the Straight 7 has far fewer coins in Gem than the Curved 7 variety. Therefore, I have reduced the Curved 7 to the same price as the Straight 7, from EF through MS-64, and lowered the MS-65 price. I have included a price of $3,500 for the Straight 7, in MS-65, as no price was previously shown. Please remember one thing in reflecting on these price changes. The prices we see at auctions have great variations for coins in similarly graded holders. However, the coin in the holders may be at the lower end or higher end of that grade range, depending on strike, lustre, toning and overall eye appeal. The prices reflected in these pages are for coins that meet the average standard for coins in the respective grades. Therefore, coins with exceptional strike and/or eye appeal can bring prices meeting or exceeding prices published here. Population data gives us gross numbers of coins in various grades but they do not tell us what the coins looks like. W This article touches the tip of the iceberg with regards to this specialized field of numismatics, as there are thousands of medals, tokens, coins and banknotes that have been issued worldwide with a hydro theme.

It can take up to 15 kilowatt hours of electrical energy to produce one kilogram of the metal. This souvenir medal features the Aluminum Company of Canada’s hydroelectric station southeast of Kitimat, B.C
