Coins were minted as early as the 1505 Spanish cob, the 17th century British Sommer Islands (Bermuda) pence and shilling coins, and coins for Jamaica in the 19th century. France held some 23 Caribbean islands, producing coinage for several of them including Haiti, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, and Saint Kitts. The Dutch Caribbean comprises the islands of Aruba, Curaçao, Saint Marten, Bonaire, Saint Eustatius, and Saba. Sweden made coins for St. Bartholomew. Just as the US swiped Puerto Rico from Spain, the various European nations nabbed Caribbean islands and territories from Spain or each other. Thanks to Columbus, Spain claimed the entire Caribbean and had some 12 mints in the Americas including Hispaniola. The Spanish cobs, reals, and escudos are often marketed as treasure or pirate coins and were the primary coinage of colonial Americas as well as the Caribbean. There are some 7,000 islands with 13 sovereign nations (14 if you count Bermuda , 12 dependent territories, and many uninhabited islands. Major islands are: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, Netherlands Antilles, Puerto Rico, Saint Barthelmey, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Martin, Saint Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, United States Virgin Islands, and outlying Bermuda. Early coinage was often counter stamped Spanish coins or the coins of the previous colonial owner. Below, cut Spanish coin with a SV stamp when Britain took St. Vincent, and next to it a cob marked for Curacao of the Netherlands Antilles. By the late 20th centuries Netherlands, France, and Britain made coins for their colonial possessions. Coins of Bermuda and Jamaica with George III and Victoria. 1794 gulden of Curacao and 2 florin coin with Queen Beatrix of Netherlands. French coins of 1789 Cayenne Island best known as Devil Island and a Haitian coin of 1839 with Liberty, Republique Francaise, and Liberte Equalite, and Fraternite. Independent islands coinage nations often have sea life, ships, and fanciful shapes Independent islands' coinage often have sea life, ships, and fanciful shapes. On the right coins of Cayman Islands, left Barbados, below left Eastern Caribbean. Numismatically yours, David Elliott Numismatic Potpourri The big news is that the designs for the Innovation dollars are out and we will get the dollars over the next four months. The Delaware coins has the profile of Annie Jump Cannon who developed a system of star classification at Harvard Observatory on the late 19th century that is still used today. The Pennsylvania dollar celebrates the polio vaccine depicting a period micro scope and the virus. The New Jersey dollar depicts the Edison light bulb, and the Georgia dollar has plants representing the 1730s experimental garden known as the Trustees’ Garden. The designs are clever and attractive. The designs for the last six quarters are also out: A Samoan fruit bat, A painter at Weir Farm for Connecticut, a mangrove tree for US Virgin Islands, Vermont has a child planting a tree, Kansas has a butter-fly over the prairie, and Alabama has the Tuskegee airmen of WWII. Robert Rodriguez brought the first 2 1793 cents with a chain or olive wreath reverse. There is quite a story to America’s first cents in 1793. The US mint could only make copper large cents and half cents because the officials had balked at the idea of a required $10,000 bond, which they had to post before making gold and silver. The first 1793 had a chain reverse that for many implied bondage, perhaps bondage to a federal government as onerous as the British. Henry Voight was given the task of changing the reverse, replacing the chain with a wreath. There are some varieties in the 63,353 mintage of the 1793 wreath reverse. The initial examples came with a vines and bars edge while the later ones have a lettered edge which says, “ONE HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR.” The obverse would show a normal sprig above the date but on four known examples it is a spray of trefoil leaves and small blossoms called the “Strawberry Leaf” variety. No one precisely knows how this happened, but it is very rare with just four well-circulated being known. For most, however, any example of the 1793 will do. It had a low mintage in part because it was discontinued very quickly this time in favor of a new obverse. The new Liberty cap 1793 would have a low mintage of just 11,056 and it is very tough to find. The new Texas quarter is based on an old Spanish cob with mission bells instead of a castle, added wheat and waves of the San Antonio River. . From the New York COMEX closes on Dec. 28, 2018, to Sept. 3, 2019, the price of gold jumped 20.2%. How have the prices of common-date pre-1934 US gold coins fared over them time period? Here are how the retail selling prices have changed for the 8-piece $2.50-$20.00 Liberty and Indian type sets: Extremely Fine condition: +17.1%, Mint State-62 condition: +14.1%, Mint State-63 condition: +10.3%, Mint State-64 condition: +2.6%, Mint State-65 condition: -1.2%, None of these 8-coin sets appreciated to the same degree as the rise in gold’s price. Evidently there is a 6 month lag between rise and gold and rise of gold coin prices with the less fine coins appreciating first. There are still about 145 million of the older coins round pound coins still outstanding after being demonetized. Britain’s round £1 coin has been replaced by a 12-sided coin meant to deter counterfeiters. According to the British Royal Mint, a staggering one in 30 of the round version of the denomination were counterfeits when the newer 12-sided (dodecagonal) version was introduced on March 28, 2017. This statistic sounds even worse when you consider there were about 1.7 billion round variety pounds in circulation at that time. That calculates to about 57.8 million fakes. At the exchange rate current at the time this article was being written this equals more than $69 million US in fake £1 coins. Banks still allow you to deposit round pound coins. Edward VIII, who declined the British throne to marry the American divorce Mrs. Wallis Simpson, had a few coins and patterns made and are of the highest rarity. Few are available to collectors. There are no more than two of any denomination is in private hands, but for half the denominations there is just one. This Edward VIII penny was sold by Mark Rasmussen privately in 2003 for a reported £35,000. It is offered by Spink on September 24th as part of the Waterbird Collection and is expected to realize more than $50,000. It is the year of the mouse in 2020, and the Perth mint may have already won cutest mouse coin with a Minion mouse. Other Perth offerings include a dragon and phoenix, a book loving Simpson coin, Captain Marvel ,Captain America’s shield, and Bugs Bunny (on line). 6 winners on the PCGS W quarter, splitting $2000 for Texas quarter. 5 from Utah and 1 from Texas. San Francisco proof Eagles are selling well. You can buy 5 oz of gold dust from the SS Central America in PCGS holders now.
