U.S. Philippine Proof Sets (1903-1906 and 1908)
Although regular U.S. coins and paper money were used in Puerto
Rico and other US territories, a new and distinct coinage was
struck for use in the United States Territory of the Philippines.
The designs express a dual concept – the sovereignty of the
United States, and that the coins were for circulation in the
Philippine Islands.
All seven denominations of US Philippine coins were struck in
Proof from 1903 through 1906, and again in 1908.
This exhibit features a 1903 US Philippine Proof Presentation
set as well as a complete 35 coin set of certified proof coins.

Postage & Fractional Currency Design Type Set
Coins disappeared from circulation shortly after the Civil War
began due to hoarding, and something needed to be done.
New paper money introduced in August of 1862, initially called
Postage Currency, filled the need for the missing coins.
Later, these notes were called Fractional Currency.
Counterfeiters took advantage of the situation, and soon
counterfeits of the new notes were being passed.
The Government responded by making changes to the notes.
This exhibit showcases the 24 major note designs used for
Postage and Fractional Currency issued, between 1862 and the end
of the series in 1876, by the Federal government along with the
single Confederate fractional note that was issued.

Tokens of the Goodman Lumber Company of Goodman, Wisconsin
The storied history of the small town of Goodman, Wisconsin is
entwined with the growth of the Goodman Lumber Company founded
in 1907.
What was a tract of heavily wooded land became a booming lumber
company town in just a few years – attracting numerous
workers and their families.
For several decades in the early to mid-1900s, the company
issued their own tokens to pay its workers who, in turn, would
spend the tokens at the company store or at other company
amenities across town.
This exhibit focuses on the history of the Goodman Lumber
Company, the town of Goodman, and the people who lived there
while also analyzing the different varieties and designs of the
company tokens they used.

A Selection of Ancient Minting Errors
Minting errors have occurred since the first coin was struck in
the sixth century BC.
Because coins were individually struck, errors happened with
more frequency than today’s automated and more
sophisticated process.
However, the great majority of ancient errors were destroyed or
melted down.
In this exhibit, the viewer will observe some truly rare and
spectacular errors that escaped the mint and were either placed
into circulation or apparently set aside by a collector in
ancient times.
Represented by coins from the first century BC through the
sixth century AD, a wide selection errors, including brockages
(obverse and reverse), double strikes, drastic off-center
strikes, blank (obverse or reverse), flip-over double strikes,
and even a few with multiple errors, will make you wonder how
they could possibly have been released.

Twilight of the Gods: The Anonymous Pagan Coinage of Roman Emperor Maximinus II
The gods of great antiquity, once so prominent on coins, were
eclipsed as Christianity ascended in influence.
This exhibit presents a group of five coins, some very rare,
dedicated to pagan gods.
The deities depicted on both sides of these coins were revered
at the three cities in the eastern Roman Empire where the coins
were issued.
Unusually, the coins do not carry a portrait, or any reference
at all, to the emperor.
Minted at a time when Christianity was gaining adherents in
Roman society, these coins honor gods who would soon be
displaced forever.

Select German States Wildman Thalers
This collection was inspired by an article suggesting collectors
should think outside of the box in order to keep the hobby
interesting.
This worked for me and can work for anyone looking for something
“different” to collect.
Despite the common theme of the collection there are many
interesting and unusual varieties.
No variety is common although Wildman coins in general are not
scarce.
Unless stated otherwise there is no duplication of variety in the
display.
Wildman coins are a “fun” area to collect and can
lead to a broader collection of German States and other European
coins.
These were minted in denominations as small as Pfennigs and as
large as multiple Thalers, silver coins that can have a diameter
of 50mm or larger.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Bracteates* (*but were afraid to ask)
The coin known to us as the “bracteate” was created
to deal with a 12th Century monetary crisis.
Its success in resolving that crisis led to the bracteate
serving as a primary European coin type for over 200 years.
The bracteate’s distinctive beauty continues to draw great
interest.
This Exhibit tells the story of the bracteate, from its origins
in small German monasteries to its adoption throughout Central
and Eastern Europe (and to lands a bit beyond).

Israel & Currency: Her Innovative Approach to the Question of Idolatrous Money
Since ancient times, Jews have been concerned that portraits of
people and animals on coins could be considered graven images in
violation of the Second Commandment.
After a ruling by Israel’s Chief Rabbi that some types of
portraits were permissible, the Bank of Israel has designed
coins with sunken profile portraits, photographic-like flat
images, line drawings, negative space, and stylized profiles to
avoid creating a graven image or giving the appearance of
supporting idolatry.

Lands Across the Sea: Connections to the African Continent on Coins of the Later Roman World
This exhibit presents coins as tangible evidence of the rich
history and cultural exchange between Rome and its provinces in
North Africa.
Our journey begins in AD 193 with the rise of Septimius Severus,
the first African emperor.
It concludes as the empire ceded control of the province of
Africa in the fifth century AD.
Together, they bear witness to the reigns of emperors, the
economic history of Egyptian coinage, and the syncretism of
Greco-Egyptian deities and Roman religion.
Some coins depict exotic African animals captured for Roman
entertainment.
Our numismatic record also reflects the enduring legacy of
Carthage and its assimilation into a post-Roman Vandal kingdom.

Heavenly Gold
In 1300, Giotto revolutionized Western art by painting a blue
sky.
Before Giotto, artists only painted golden skies: they believed
that heaven was somewhere “up there,” in the sky,
and that the divine realm itself must be golden, despite what
our eyes tell us.
The blue in the sky is really a function of the way molecules
in the atmosphere scatter light, and lovely though a blue sky
may be, it still seems appropriate to use gold to represent the
heavens.
This exhibit presents a golden gallery of numismatic portraits
of those who dwell in heaven, wherever heaven may be.

A Library of the Works of David R. Sear
For over 60 years, collectors of ancient coins have looked to
British Numismatist David R. Sear for education and guidance in
building their collections.
Sear’s books on Roman, Greek, and Byzantine coins have
made what was once a “hobby of kings” accessible to
commoners.
A key feature in his work is the way in which he enriches the
basic numismatic information he provides by placing each coin in
its historical and cultural context.
This exhibit is intended as a tribute to Sear and his work, and
displays a copy of each of the books he has written or
co-authored.

It’s Elementary!
Metal coins were (probably) first used as money in the 7th
Century BCE in two widely separated areas: in the West, coinage
began in what is now Turkiye with round coins struck in
electrum, an alloy of the metallic elements Gold and Silver,
while in the East, coinage began in China with knife-shaped and
spade-shaped coins cast in bronze, an alloy of the metallic
elements Copper and Tin.
Over the past 27 centuries, 20 additional metallic elements have
been used to mint legal tender metal coins.
Together, the coins in this exhibit demonstrate the use of all
24 of these metallic elements.

produced by one mint in a single year?
Today we have four coins regularly in circulation: the cent,
nickel, dime, and quarter.
In 1857 we had 15 coins, all produced at the Philadelphia Mint!
This fun little single case exhibit showcases a collection of
coins, all from the Philadelphia mint and all from a single year.
We had a lot of “half coins” back then: the
half-cent, the half-dime, the half-dollar, the two and a
half-dollar and the half-eagle, but all of these coins are whole!
You will find Copper, Silver, and Gold, oh my.
Enjoy!
