Not The Other Coin 2: West Point Mint Got my 2019 W penny, ordered a 2019 W quarter from e-bay, have the 2015 W dime from the March of Dimes set, and a 2014 W half from the Kennedy set as well as an 2007 eagle minted, but not marked with a W. I should have the 2015 W Sacagawea $1 soon as well. They will be My Favorite coins this year. The Mint better be planning to make a W nickle soon to complete the set. I’m starting a campaign to have a W nickle. US Mint can be contacted: Telephone (202) 756-6468, Weekdays 9:00am to 4:30pm EST, except holidays. Fax (202) 756-6200 Email: inquiries@usmint.treas.gov We need a W Nickel! The West Point Mint Facility was built in 1937 near the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York as a bullion depository. It produced pennies from 1973 to 1986 without mint mark to help out the other mints. It became an official branch of the US Mint on March 31, 1988. From 1977 to 1979 West Point minted quarters for the bicentennial and after again without mint mark. September 1983 saw the first appearance of the W mint mark (from this still unofficial U.S. Mint) on a $10 gold coin commemorating the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. This was the first legal tender U.S. gold coin since 1933. In 1986, American Gold Eagle bullion coins were solely produced at this facility, again with no mint mark. Starting in 1999 American Silver Eagle bullion coins were also produced at West Point without W mint mark except for 1995 in proof and then in proof with the W mint mark from 2001 on. In 2002, the US Military Academy at West Point had its 200th anniversary, and a bicentennial commemorative silver dollar was issued, featuring a cadet color guard on the obverse and the helmet of Pallas Athena on the reverse. In 1996 a commemorative Roosevelt dime was produced for the 50th anniversary of the design. Over 1.457 million were produced as an insert to the mint set. Thus this W mint marked dime is not particularly scarce. In 2015 another W mint marked dime was issued along with a 2015-W dollar, these as part of a three coin set to commemorate the March of Dimes. Only 75,000 sets were produced. In 2014, a reverse proof silver Kennedy Half Dollar which was part of a commemorative set, along with the 24K gold proof Kennedy Half Dollar were produced there to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy half dollar with the W mint mark at base of neck and under olive branch in gold. In 2015, the West Point Mint struck Sacagawea dollars for the first time. Released as part of a special “Native American Coin and Currency Set”, only 90,000 were produced. The first cents to display the W mint mark were produced for collectors in 2019. These W Lincoln cents are added to traditional mint sets in three different finishes. An uncirculated 2019 W cent is included with uncirculated set, a proof 2019 W cent is included with the proof set, and a reverse proof 2019 W cent is included with silver proof set. There are no limits for these sets. On April 2, 2019 the United States Mint announced that 10 million quarters will be introduced into circulation containing the W mint mark in order to promote the hobby of coin collecting. Although quarters have been produced at the West Point Mint, none of them included the W mint mark. These quarters will also be a part of the "America the Beautiful" quarters program with 2 million of each of the 5 national parks to be released in 2019 carrying the W mint mark. American eagle bullion coins in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are produced at West Point, along with all gold commemorative and a few silver commemorative coins. Gold eagles and some uncirculated and all proof silver Eagles, as well as all commemoratives from West Point are struck with the W mint mark. Beginning in 2006, the West Point Mint also made all American buffalo gold bullion coins. Visit their website at: www.usmint. gov/about/mint-tours-facilities/west-point And, as noted, in last month’s issue, there is a tour by a local Fox affiliate at www.fox5ny.com/news/west-point-mint-gold-inside-look Numismatically yours, David Elliott Numismatic Potpourri The American Legion coins are selling well, especially the set with the American Legion silver dollar and American Service silver medal. Stack’s Bowers will be offering a large group of Indian Peace medals at the August ANA World’s Fair of Money auctions. The American Numismatic Society (ANS) is pleased to announce the launch of a new online resource, Hellenistic Royal Coinages (HRC). HRC is a web- based resource for users to learn about, research, and conduct different types of statistical analyses on the coinages produced by the different dynasties and rulers of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East during the Hellenistic period (ca. 323–31 BC). These include the coins struck by (and in the name of) Alexander the Great and those struck by his successors, such as the Seleucids in the Near East and the Ptolemies in Egypt. See http://numismatics.org/ hrc/ Canada is celebrating 75th Anniversary of D-Day with a series of coins commemorating the landing on Juno Beach. . David Lisot’s Video Library will be housed at the Newman Numismatic Portal with weekly excerpts found at CoinTelevision on the YouTube. Since 1985 David has been taping programs and interviews at coin shows across the nation. The other ANA in NY is already making the medals available they got from NW Territorial Mint. A great on-line book Medals of the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at New York University by David Alexander is available giving the images and details of some 94 medals by great sculptures hired by Medallic Arts and produced from 1962 to the min-1970s. https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/565080 A haul of Viking coins worth $750,000 was found during a police raid could "change British history." The coins are from the reign of Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, and his less well-known contemporary Ceolwulf II of Mercia. King Alfred inflicted a major defeat on the Vikings in AD 878 and experts from the British Museum believe the coins were found in the location of the Viking army at that time. Until now, accounts have suggested Ceolwulf of Mercia was a puppet of the Vikings and a minor nobleman rather than a proper king. However, the coins tell a different story and show two rulers standing side by side as allies. The American Medallic Sculpture Association (AMSA) is pleased to announce that the winner of the 2019 American Medal of the Year (AMY) award is "Breakout" by Michael Meszaros, commemorating the breakout of Australian soldiers in WWI. And, a cool 1936 buffalo nickel error. The shrinking English penny and 2 penny will continue in circulation even through reduced in size. The Perth mint has Kirk and and a coin with an abacus celebrating the Silk Road. Q. David Bowers has released the third edition to A Guide Book of Lincoln Cents to rave reviews. Harriet Tubman will not be replacing Andrew Jackson on the $20. So says Steven Mnuchin. A coin that shouldn’t exist, a 1959-D Lincoln cent with the wheat reverse that was retired in 1958 rather than the Lincoln Memorial reverse introduced in 1959 was sold at Ira and Larry Goldberg’s June 2 Pre-Long Beach Auction in California for $48,300. An Australian man has unearthed a 1.4kg (49oz) gold nugget with a metal detector while wandering Western Australia's gold fields. A shop in Kalgoorlie shared pictures of the rock online, estimated to be worth $69,000. Don Kagin offers his new 2 cent piece to those asking for one after visiting his 2 cent suggestions and viewing over 80 initiatives adopted from 1,000 suggested. Website: www.Kagin4ANApresident.com |
