The Sasanian Empire, officially known as the Empire of Iranians, was the last kingdom of the Persian Empire before the rise of Islam. Named after the House of Sasan, it ruled from 224 to 651 AD. The Sasanian Empire succeeded the Parthian Empire and was recognized as one of the leading world powers alongside its neighboring arch-rival, the Roman-Byzantine Empire for a period of more than 400 years.

In 1815 the St. Helena economy was bolstered by the arrival of the exiled Napoleon. The Emperor's entourage and the guarding force of British troops suddenly doubled the island's population bringing great prosperity. In order to sustain this growth the Company sent out £50,000 in dollars in 1819. St. Helena was at the peak of its prosperity.
Two years later, in 1821, wheels were set in motion for the supply of two copper coinages specifically struck for use on the island. The first issue was of an unofficial nature and originated from a local firm of merchants called Solomon, Dickson and Taylor. Instructions were sent to England for the manufacture of 70,560 halfpenny tokens. Responsibility for the second issue belonged to the Court of Directors of the Honourable East India Company based in England. They requested the Mint of Matthew Robinson Boulton, at Soho near Birmingham, to strike a copper coinage to the total value of £1,000. For this sum the Company received 702,704 halfpenny pieces.
Before either of the new copper coinages arrived in St. Helena, Napoleon died on 5th May 1821. Soon after, most of the troops, high military officers, civil servants and their families had left the island. Consequently the demand for the halfpenny pieces never reached the level originally conceived. In 1830 a large surplus stock of the East India Company copper coins in an unissued state was returned to England for melting. It would be easy to conclude from this event that the coinage was a failure. Far from it, the halfpennies remained in circulation on the island and proved an acceptable payment to all parties. These characteristics must have appeared very attractive to a Company which was still encountering difficulties in maintaining a regular supply of silver coin on St. Helena.

This image is a good example of the value of adding a diffuser between the light source and the subject. I use a Lee 216. Of course, where you place it between the two makes a big difference too. Hope you like the image. Have a great day!
Ireland's Easter Rising, also known as the Easter Rebellion, was an armed insurrection during Easter Week, April 1916. The Rising was launched to end British rule in Ireland and establish an independent Irish Republic. At the time, the United Kingdom was heavily engaged in World War I. This coin was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising.
The coin contains 0.486 troy ounces of silver, so it can never be worth less than its base value, or BV. To compute BV, multiply the current price of silver by 0.486.

The reverse, shown here, is a roman soldier advancing left, spearing a fallen horseman who is reaching out to the soldier. The legend reads FEL TEMP REPARATIO which translates as "The restoration of happy times" or "Happy days are here again". This is symbolizing Constantius as the person who restored those happy times by defeating the barbarians, most likely the Persians.

“Gold for Iron” was the call during the 1st War; an exchange of gold for iron. Wedding rings, brooches, rings and jewelry (some of the symbolism of the Iron Cross were Echoing) issued to the citizens willing to donate.
Even though the action was voluntary, a considerable social pressure was been generated to participate.
The Social Control of involvement was simple: Those who wore the iron jewelry had proved to be a patriot, who showed a continued gold, lost its reputation.
Not only individuals but also institutions were invited to exchange gold for iron. This included the ability of clubs, churches and government agencies.
From 1916 a medal was presented as a reward for the supply of jewelry or an exchange of gold for paper money (which is quickly losing its value) from the Reichsbank to the population.
The medals were issued in numerous versions and very large numbers. They are made of blackened iron, have a weight of 15.4g - 20.4g and have a diameter of 39-41mm.
This medal was designed by Hermann Hosaeus.

The El Cazador, a Spanish brigantine of war, was lost without a trace in the winter of 1784 while on route from Vera Cruz Mexico to the port of New Orleans. The wreck site was accidentally discovered on August 2, 1993 by a fishing vessel working the area. The treasure of the El Cazador, consisting of over 400,000 Spanish 8 reales and an equal amount of smaller denomination Spanish colonial coins from the Mexico City mint, was intended to stabilize the Spanish monetary system in colonial North America. Her loss contributed to Spain's eventual conveyance of Louisiana to France's Napoleon in 1800. The rest is history, as three years later in 1803, Napoleon of France sold Louisiana to the United States, instantly doubling the size of the country.

ICCS Certified 1928 Canadian 10 cent coin, photographed through the double layer plastic package. This kind of packaging is the least photo friendly type of certified coin packaging I’ve come across. It scratches very easily and the curved surfaces catch reflections for every angle. Thant's not saying they can't be photographed, but the double layer of plastic I have to shot through does lessen the image quality. If you're thinking of getting coins ICCS certified and you want them photographed, I recommend you shoot them first. Just sayin...

Upon viewing uncle art's auto salvage yard back in 1958, i was elated. Why had we waited so long to visit my mother's odd brother, the strange-hued sheep of the family. Uncle art had a thirst for canadian club and money. In the winters, when things were slow and cold, uncle art headed for the keys where he wrote mysteries and drank more canadian club. June and july were the top months for visiting uncle art. He didn't say much. He did talk about the various items he had found in the cars pulled into his yard. Yes, there were some victims of foul play, but he found mostly money, silver halves and quarters slipped down behind the seats. When i found out it was okay to pilfer through the old autos, i could be gone almost all day. I found a box of playboys once and learned a lot about the intellectual aspects the magazine; the interviews were most enlightening. On one occasion, i found a navy colt .45. I found about $200 in the summer of 1958. My one big regret was not being able to go with uncle art to the florida keys for a few weeks. Whenever i see old junk cars or junkyards, i am always reminded of uncle art and miss june 1958.

Silver Coin
Heard the rattle from the train
Sounds of a hundred people,
Maybe more
Cut through the ropes before you came
I had a dream that you were gone.
I'm in the days of throwing rocks
When I saw your picture on a silver coin
Stole a kiss through your golden locks
I had a dream that you were gone.
Woke up and you were gone
All the love has gone away
Cos I didn't have the heart or strength to say
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
Heard the rattle from the chains
This goddamn room it gets so small sometimes
I had a dream that you were gone
Woke up and you were gone

During the 1920’s 1930’s there were few names in the numismatic world as well known as Henry and Julius Guttag, prominent New York City numismatists and securities dealers. The brothers were the owners of Guttag Brothers, with offices on Wall Street and Stone Street in lower Manhattan. Their first numismatic ads in 1920 offered to buy 100 Isabella quarters for $45 and announced that, “We are quantity dealers.”
Julius Guttag had become a coin collector at 15 and remained deeply involved in the field right down to his death in 1962. He was Life Member 24 of the American Numismatic Association (ANA). In 1924 he became the chief proponent of Coin Week that soon expanded into a nationwide annual event directed by the ANA that later became known as National Coin Week.
National Coin Week began in 1923 when American Numismatic Association Governor Julius Guttag suggested that a week-long event should be established “to attract the general public to our hobby and consequently increase our membership, and aid in our science.” That December, the first announcement of a “Coin Week” was made in The Numismatist and scheduled for the week of February 9-16, 1924. In 1942 the observance was moved to the third full week of April, where it has remained ever since
