So, why is that? Once upon a time perhaps, it was because of their intrinsic value and the promise they held for future gain. Who doesn’t remember pulling silver coins out of circulation in the 1960s as the country moved away from the gold standard? Things are different today. There is no longer any silver in circulation so why continue to collect? For me, it is because coins represent a tangible connection to the past, to art, to history, our politics, our culture. They often relate to otherwise forgotten events of the past. This talk will briefly explore all of these aspects of collecting, including some of the history leading to the coins of the present day. We will also discuss what makes some of them worth so much money and why two coins of the same denomination, with the same date and mintmark can be so different in value from each other. It is essential to understand how coins are graded and how grade determines value. Most importantly, there will be plenty of time for questions.Neil Musante has been a collector and numismatic researcher for many years. These days he’s primarily focused on American Numismatics prior to the Civil War, and primarily in the area of tokens and medals. Neil’s taught courses at the American Numismatic Association’s summer seminars in Colorado Springs and given talks at the American Numismatic Society in New York City. He’s published two books on the subject that have become standard references and will soon release a third.Our free event will take place on Sunday, March 22nd at 1:30pm .
