Book Description
"During the past 150 years, the American Numismatic Society has been a leader in the publication of art medals in the United States. Generally employing the finest medalists available, the Society has set an example few can match. In addition, with the exception of the United States Mint, no U.S. entity can boast so long and distinguished a contribution in this area. Founded in 1858, the American Numismatic and Archaeological Society, as it was known from 1864-1907, believed the issuance of medals to be a part of its mission from the earliest years of its existence. Author Scott H. Miller includes 60 medals issued by the ANS between 1865 and 2014 along with two COAC medals and the 1910 Actors' Fund Medal, all accompanied by color photographs. Many entries are supplemented by artist's sketches and archival photographs as well as the stories behind each issue. Four Appendixes include recipients of some of these medals as well as the list of dies, hubs, galvanos, and casts of ANS medals in the ANS's own collection."

Book Description
Excerpt from The Lincoln Centennial We thus see that the medal may be regarded from a two-fold point of view, - as a work of art and as a bistori cal document. It is in this latter aspect, mainly, that we must View the present collection. The medals of Lincoln will not appeal to the art-lover as such, for the reason that medallic art in this country during and after the Civil War was at a low grade. Nor need we feel any humiliation therein. It was the Storm and Stress period of our national existence. The very maintenance of the Union was at stake, and men's thoughts were turned to more serious considerations than ideals ofbeauty expressed in terms of form. Even had there been great artists among us, their genius would not have been called into activity. This was true, also, of the period of reconstruction that followed. The artistic sense of a nation is slow to find expression, and it is only in recent years that artistic ideals have begun to assert themselves strongly in America. This Lincoln Cen tennial, besides being a spontaneous manifestation of the nation's reverence for its Hero and Martyr, has done great service to the cause ofmedallic art in this country, in inspiring two medals [n 05. 1 and 6] Of Abraham Lincoln, the work of the sculptor Jules Edouard Roine of Paris; which for mastery of technique and perfection of portraiture and design command the highest admit ation. In these at last we find artist and die-cutter reunited; and the noble features of Lincoln, so long distorted by the incompetent hands of secondary artisans, are here placed before us in all their realism, yet with such a masterly conception of the living man, that the greatness of mind of this Master of Men, the benevolence of the lover Of his kind, the delicate humor of his nature, speak forth from the cold metal. They should serve as models for the medallist of the future. If art is absent in most of the specimens here shown, there is historical value in every piece. And the tragic end of Lincoln adds a pathetic interest to many. It should be noted that a considerable number of them are not medals at all, but campaign tokens, tradesmen'scards, metallic badges and the like. Yet even the most insignificant of these is not lacking in interest to the patriot and the student of history. It is very remark able, too, that not less than seven hundred pieces are known which either bear Lincoln's head or refer directly or indirectly to him; and of these the present collection contains the large majority, including all the more interesting types, 'many of which are shown in several metals. As far as the present writer is aware, no one man in public life except Napoleon has such a medallic record to his credit.

So-Called Dollars

Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
When So-Called Dollars was published it was the first, and it is still the only book to deal comprehensively with its subject matter. The book begins with the legendary Erie Canal Completion issues of 1826 and proceeds to catalog 135 years of the Golden Age of American history, all the way up to 1961. Although there have been many propositions for reviving the book over the years, none were more than theoretical musings until two collectors, Tom Hoffman of Crystal Lake, IL and Jonathan Brecher of Cambridge, MA set the process in motion. They have been joined by two others, Dave Hayes and John Dean, to produce a remarkable new edition, of the sort that can only be the product of dedicated hobbyists who love their subject and see it as their obligation to share with others the knowledge gained from years of collecting. While the second edition holds true to the original in basic style and in substance, prices have skyrocketed and it offers much that is new. There are many more illustrations than in the first edition. In fact, virtually every type is now represented by a photograph. More historical information for the issues is presented in the text, which has been further expanded with additional listings of both previously unknown metal varieties and totally new items. The size of each item is now given in mm rather than in 16ths of an inch as in the 1963 edition. Each issue has been assigned a rarity rating of from R-1, indicating more than 5,000 known, to R-10, meaning unique. In addition, a loose-leaf price guide included in each book at no additional charge. The index has been expanded to include references to more subjects and places. Finally, there is a section of color plates. The Hibler & Kappen book remains the standard reference work on the subject with its HK numbers an instantly recognizable means of cataloging and identification.
