I can honestly say that what once had become a very easy determination after a litte experience regarding American coins is now much more difficult. The fact that very deceptive counterfeits. have passed as genuine at major third-party grading services (TPGS) attests to my claim, Thus, it is not as much “fun” in the grading room as before, but it has become a more rewarding challenge. In my opinion, we are beginning to approach « period in American coin authentication that the knowledge able professionals dealing with ancient coins have been cursed with in previ ous decades. The increasing numbers of “No Decision” specimens 1 hear about where opinions are divided, We have not reached that alarming period in time yet with U.S. coins, although the Trade dollar series has become the first victim of many of those "No Decision’ results. Those ancient collec- tors around in the 1980s know exactly what I'm writing about. What happens When the battle lines are drawn and two ‘groups of experienced, knowledgeable professionals line up against each other with 100 percent opposite opinions about a group of coins? One group claims itis a 100 percent genuine hoard while the other swears it is a group of newly made deceptive counterfeits, 14 Mumismatie News May 30,2023, Fa When Experts Disagree FOES «im on Authenticity Genuine edges appear at op ofeach phot, Similar cases occur inside a TPGS = even when outside “experts” have been consulted. From personal expe fence, any wise authenticator knows they must evaluate the “worth” of any consultants’ opinion as well as that of their in-house co-workers. Recently, there are some very decep- tive $20 Sain-Gaudens on the market ‘They are deceptive enougit to fool most dealers because they have reached the offices of the major coin wholesalers who know gold coins inside and out! They are the professionals who know what the rim, color and texture of the surface looks like on the genuine Saints from each date and mint. Morgan dol lar experts can do the same thing. 1 finally got to see one of these fakes dated 1927. It looks perfectly genuine to me and even under magn [ ANNOUNCEMINTS } Quarter for Eleanor Roosevelt Bags and rolls of the American Women quarter honoring Eleanor Roosevelt will become available for purchase on June 5. Its the eighth coin released in the program. Eleanor Roosevelt was a first lady, author, civil liberties advocate and chairperson of the United Nations Human Rights Commission. She was instrumental in the passage Of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Roosevelt was born on Oct. 11, 1884, in New York City to a politically prominent family. In 1905, she martied her distant cousin Franklin Delano Roosevelt After her husband was stricken with polio in 1921, Eleanor Roosevelt became increasingly active in politi. She promoted women’s political engagement, playing a leadership role in several organizations, including the League of Women Voters and the Women’s Trade Union League. Her activities were extensively covered in the media in the 1920s, making her publicly recognizable. Roosevelt grew to more importance after her husband became president of the United States. She became the most politically active and influential first lady in history, Using the position to advance many of her progressive and egalitarian goals. She traveled the nation extensively, visiting reliet projects, surveying working and living conditions, and reporting to the president on her observations. After President Roosevelt’s death in 1945, Eleanor Roosevelt continued in her public life. President Truman appointed her to the United Nations. She served as chair of the Human Rights Commission. She worked tirelessly to draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the U.N. General Assembly on Dee. 10, 1948, Eleanor Roosevelt died on Nov. 7, 1962, and is buried along- side her husband on their estate at Hyde Park ‘The American Women quarter honoring Eleanor Roosevelt features her depiction and the scales of justice against a back- drop representing the globe, symbolic of her impactful work With the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It will be available in 100-coin bags (in *P* and "D” mintmark options) for $45 per bag, a (worroll "P” and “D” set for $40 per set, and a three-roll “P.” “D" and "S" set for $60 per set Orders can be placed at catalog.usmint.gov when the products become available, nothing stood out that should alarm me about the coin ~ at first. Apparently, the wholesale dealer “kicked” the coin out of a larger batch because of its color and surface texture, That’s due to his experience examining hundreds of thousands Saints over the years with his unaided eye! As I looked at its third side, I saw what I needed to find to confirm his opinion. Remember, @ coin has three sides, It is an obvious observation that I wish I had thought {o express in the past, but its original author remains a mystery to me. I show a comparison of the edge letter style found on a genuine 1927 Saint and this counterfeit. Notice how crude the fake’s edge is. Unfortunately, you must have a comparison coin or know the style of the edge collar die for each mint and the dates it was used. At this point in time, the basic design elements of the obverse and reverse of deceptive counterfeits are ‘good while the date numerals and edge details are “ofl” much of the time and even erude when compared side-to-side with a genuine piece. The weight of this counterfeit is correct, and it appears to be made of the correct gold alloy by its color, but I did not put a “gun” on it 1 believe that starting sometime in the 1980s, the counterfeiters made their profit from a coin's numismatic value rather than cheating on its alloy. ‘The other circumstance 1 mentioned in my opening sentence occurs when genuine coins are judged to be counter. feit. Most of these cases happen when some “expert” dealer becomes involved, Last week a major gold dealer asked if | ‘wanted {0 see three counterfeit Liberty $5 gold coins, and I eagerly jumped fal the chance, He knew they were authentic and I could see from a foot away through the plastic flips they were in that they were “naked eye genuine coins.” He was playing a trick on me. Nevertheless, 1 examined them and concurred with his opinion. It seems another dealer had returned these three coins out of a large batch of gold coins because they “failed” the Sigma test AIL T can say for those dealers who need one of these tools is to make sure they are in good working order and you know how to use them! # ‘won. numismatinewsnet May 30,2022 18 Saint-Gaudens Statue at ANA Convention ‘York City landmark statue, created by acclaimed sculptor 1ugustus Saint-Gaudens, will be publicly displayed at the American Numismatic Association's 2023 Pitisburgh World's Fair of Money. f\ rare example of a reduced-size early 20th-century New Entitled Victory, the statue is reminiscent of the great artist's renowned 1907-1933 U.S. double eagle gold coin design. The same female model posed for Saint-Gaulens for both of those projects, Previously in a private collection for decades, the statue was pur- chased for $1,168,400 at « Sotheby's auction by Kevin Lipton of Kevin Lipton Rare Coins in Beverly Hills, Calif, this past April He now will exhibit it for the public to see at the ANA Pittsburgh ‘convention Aug, 8-12, “The three-and-c-half‘foot tall gilded bronze figure on a four inch marble base is a reduction of Saint-Gaudens’ famous ten-andhalf foot tall Victory statue at the General William ‘Tecumseh Sherman Monument in Grand Army Plaza at the Southeast corner of New York's Central Park,” said Lipton. “It was dedicated in 1903, and only three reduction examples are privately owned, including this one.” After Saint-Gaudens died in 1907, his widow Augusta Fisher Homer Saint-Gaudens authorized the ereation of eight redue- tions. In addition to the three privately held, five today are in the collections of museums or institutions, such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, or at national historic sites, including Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Sotheby's described the Victory statue as “designed to emulate the allegorical female figure of the Greek goddess Nike.” “It took Saint-Gaudens 11 years from 1892 to 1903 to pains- takingly create the Sherman Monument and Victory statue, which art critics have described as an American masterpiece,” explained Lipton, “Owning one of these specially made, century-old Saint- Gaudens statues has been on my bucket list since | was a teenager and saw one for sale at an antiques show in New York ‘Alter his death 1907, the widow of att Rugustus Saint Gaudens authorized the creation af several reductions of hi famous Victory statue tthe General ‘Sherman Monument in New York City omer core Po Meat Pace) 16.

Over the years, I've owned some of the ‘most historic Sain-Gaudens coins, including a 1907 Ultra High Relief double eagle, but this statue eluded me until recently. ‘Now, iti time to share this masterpiece with the public.” ‘The model for Vietory was Harriete Eugenia Anderson, who later ‘was the artist's model for what are known today as America's most ‘beautiful coins, the Sain Gaudens $20
