NEW BOOK: MONEY IN ART

Money in Art: From Coinage to Crypto
David Trigg

£19.99

HENI Publishing is delighted to present a new book featuring a curated chronological selection of 90 artworks from Pop art to now, from the witty and the political to the beautiful and the conceptual. From pioneers Andy Warhol, Robert Indiana and Lynn Hershman Leeson to contemporary artists Jeremy Deller, Lubaina Himid, Damien Hirst, Kerry James Marshall, MSCHF, Cornelia Parker, Grayson Perry and many more; a key work by each artist is illustrated and accompanied by a short explanatory text by art historian, David Trigg.

As an inescapable aspect of everyday life, money has appeared in the background of art throughout its history within the context of mythological, biblical and historic scenes – from Danaë and the shower of golden coins, to the 30 pieces of silver for which Judas betrayed Jesus. In the last seventy years however, as consumer culture has spread internationally, many artists have given money the centre stage in their work to reflect on various economic, political, social and symbolic concerns that relate to different currencies and formats. In some of these artworks, physical money — banknotes and coins plus cheques and credit cards — is the actual art material, used by artists to question and subvert notions of value or to examine the aesthetics of these quotidian objects.

DONALD STOEBNER (1947-2024)

Donald Stoebner was born on July 29, 1947, in Eureka, South Dakota, to his parents, Raymond Edison and Norma (Neuharth) Stoebner. At the age of 77, Don died on September 10th, 2024 at Mayo Hospital, Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Don grew up in Forbes, North Dakota; attended Forbes Public School K-12. As a youngster, he belonged to 4-H and Boy Scouts. While in high school, he participated in many school activities: Letterman’s Club, track, baseball, basketball, annual staff, class play member, and was a trombone player in the school band. Don graduated in 1965 as Valedictorian of his class. He believed that you should never let books interfere with your education! However, Don really did value education and funded a perpetual scholarship at North Dakota State University.

Don earned his teaching degree at the University of North Dakota in Ellendale in 1969. He taught Science classes in Oriska, Braddock, Streeter, and Jud, North Dakota, from 1969-1976. One of his most rewarding accomplishments was creating and coaching a girls’ track team in Braddock. With good coaching and great athletes, several individuals qualified for the state track meet! The second was organizing the first girls’ basketball team in Streeter and seeing the junior varsity team go undefeated!

ANA PRESENTS PHILANTHROPY AWARD TO EPNNES

The American Numismatic Association's (ANA) Philanthropy Award publicly honors those who have made significant contributions to the Association that further its strategic mission to expand, enhance, and sustain the hobby of coin collecting. This year, the ANA recognizes the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society (EPNNES) for its many years of hobby support.

Eric P. Newman (1911-2017) established the organization in 1958 as a private foundation. A lifelong collector, Newman was an influential numismatist and researcher. An attorney by trade, Newman worked for Edison Brothers Stores from 1944 to 1987.

His namesake foundation supports the hobby through a variety of efforts, including the publication of Newman's books and manuscripts. In 2014 it launched the Newman Numismatic Portal (NNP), an online repository of numismatic content. Administered by Washington University in St. Louis and underwritten by EPNNES, the site offers free access to the largest online library of American numismatic literature and archival resources. It currently has over 200 partners, representing regional and specialty clubs, as well as individual authors, and is an invaluable resource for hobbyists and researchers. Since 2019, EPNNES has been offering yearly grants to authors engaging in original research in American numismatics.

THE EARLY YEARS OF THE LOUISIANA MINT

Richard Kelly and Nancy Oliver Update New Orleans Treatise

Previously published as Treatise of the early era of the New Orleans Mint, Richard Kelly and Nancy Oliver have released an updated version of their New Orleans Mint history, The Early Years of the Louisiana Mint, 1837-1861. The work is formatted chronologically and serves as a useful companion to the related correspondence from the National Archives. The authors have extracted extensive data on die shipments and coining production, which will allow future researchers to directly reference the correspondence of interest. Contemporary media accounts supplement the work.

Taking the year 1842, for example, the authors have summarized about 40 individual pieces of correspondence, which detail the various comings and goings of Mint personnel, coining dies, and internal politics. Along the way tidbits appear, such as this comment on the 3-cent piece: "November 8th, Patterson reported that Riddell has proposed a 3-cent piece of silver and copper, but Patterson thought it an objectionable coinage." Patterson was ultimately overruled on this point, as the 3-cent silver piece eventually appeared in 1851. Kelly and Oliver’s summary of the correspondence will facilitate working with handwritten material that remains to be transcribed.

ON THE TUTORSHIP OF JOHN J. FORD

This is a very nice article. However, someone might pick a bone or two, or even an ossuary's-worth, about the put-down of John J. Ford, with respect to his stinginess about sharing information.

1. Ford developed and disseminated numismatic information thru his detailed descriptions in New Netherlands auction catalog auctions. It took a while, but in time the likes of Q. David Bowers and Carl Carlson followed his lead. For a few decades now, a fairly scholarly standard of numismatic cataloging has been de rigeur. Ford also had a relationship with Douglas Ball, PhD, who elevated paper money cataloging at NASCA, in the belief that 'rag pickers' would pay more if you treated them like buyers who could read.

2. Ford hired Breen.

3. Ford was on a panel discussion at the ANA, I believe with Bruce Amspacher. He was marvelous, whether discussing Amspacher's unholed '1820' Beaver token or Mint-basement 60-lb bags of prooflike Morgans. Don't underrate the informational valence of a raconteur.

MARY MARGARET RICH'S 1898 PROOF SET

On page 176 of Karl Moulton’s Henry Voight and Others Involved with America’s Early Coinage is a photograph of an empty presentation box for a proof set. The purple plush satin inside the top cover is inscribed with gilt lettering, "Mary Margaret Rich / AUGUST 9TH, 1898." The swirling script led Moulton to read Mary Margaret’s surname as "Reich," he surmised that since the mother of the early nineteenth-century mint engraver, John Reich was Mary Margaret, perhaps this set belonged to Reich’s daughter.

Yet, the golden surname is not Reich, it is Rich, and Mary Margaret Rich has her own story. Her story is unspectacular; some might even say it is not worthy of recounting in a numismatic publication. However, others may wish to reflect upon this somewhat disappointing circumstance, such that we, as advocates of a hobby motivated by preservation, failed to protect Mary Margaret Rich’s proof set.

HOLABIRD ON THE SS CENTRAL AMERICA

All last week I received calls, emails and texts regarding the National Geographic/BBC three part series on the SS Central America and Tommy Thompson. Robin and I don’t watch regular television anymore, preferring to enjoy the outdoors, friends, online movies, or the occasional streamed series. We didn’t know about this series until so many folks mentioned it, and finally one good friend in the Bay area pushed for a commentary, so I relented and we streamed it to the TV last night. Everybody’s got to do some "binge" watching now and then, and this show fit the bill. Granted this project occupied parts of 26 years of my life, and since I lived it, I didn’t necessarily feel the need to see it.

Wow!

ASHMOLEAN EXHIBIT REVIEW: MONEY TALKS

The serpentine flash of a dollar sign, in Andy Warhol’s black and gold canvas, opens this fascinating show. Brusque, abrupt; splashes of paint scattering around it like cartoon speed marks – the motif seems to drive towards the future. That it is priceless today, and now looks so very evidently handmade, probably goes against the spirit in which it was churned out of Warhol’s Factory back in 1981. It represents what it shows, but by now exponentially – the most recognisable symbol of wealth in the world.

Dollar Sign is an ideal start to an exhibition that explores money through art. Depictions of money are legion, and there are plenty on display: Rembrandt’s etching of The Goldweigher with his fatly bagged coins; James Gillray’s caricature of Pitt the Younger with a stomach full of sovereigns, belching paper money from his mouth; a sharp 1933 painting by the overlooked English artist Charles Spencelayh. An old man holds a 10 shilling note up to the light only to discover it has no watermark. It’s the standard Great Depression fraud. His eyes are already dim with dismay.

VOCABULARY TERM: PRIZE MEDAL

Prize Medal. Any form of medallic item used as an award in a contest, race or game where there is competitive action and more than one contestant. (A medal awarded without competitive action to one recipient only is called a recognition.) Bestowing a medal as a prize is as old as the Roman games, and has continued throughout the civilized world for thousands of years taking on other, often more gaudy forms, such as trophies, cups, bowls, sashes, belts and such.

RICHARD MCPHERREN CABEEN (1887-1969)

Something different this week. No one told me I couldn’t write about a stamp collector so I am writing about a stamp collector. He was also a coin columnist.

Richard McPherren Cabeen was born in Seaton, Illinois, on May 11, 1887, the son of Jashua Cabeen (1855-1914), a dry goods merchant, and Hattie Sophia McPherren Cabeen (1857-1940).

Cabeen began collecting stamps in 1898. He joined the Chicago Philatelic Society in 1911 and eventually became their oldest living member.

He graduated from the University of Illinois in 1909 with a B. S. degree in architecture. Then in July he took employment with the architectural firm of Holabird, Root and Burgee where he worked for more than fifty years.

ARNO SAFRAN INTERVIEW, PART TWO

GREG BENNICK: Now I'm curious about how you tied that [your passion for music] into numismatics too because you said that you do the same thing with numismatics. Do you mean that you tried to get numismatics to be something more accessible for say, young numismatists or collectors somehow?

ARNO SAFRAN: It's hard for the young people today, because we live in a total…I mean most of the people that are serious collect a lot of stuff that comes out of a mint, you know all the stuff that's coming out. Because all of the coins that we have are no longer silver or gold. I mean you can get silver and gold from the mint, but that's not coins… and the stuff that's used as far as coins today is probably getting change, getting change out. You know most people use the cards like I do. I don't spend a dime. I take my card out when I go to the supermarket and things of that nature and that's sort of a strange thing.

But, if I see a nice quarter - remember that we now have the new quarters which are terrific - I save them up a little bit, just because I like the design on it and the fact that many women that are on it. But they're not rare. I mean it's my own personal enjoyment to see that kind of thing, that women are getting a real break on the on the reverses of the quarters today.

GREG BENNICK: Sure.

THE GRANDFATHER OF MODERN DANSCO ALBUMS

Ervin J. Felix was a coin and stamp expert who worked as the West Coast distributor for the Coin & Currency Institute (C&CI) in the late 1950s and early ’60s. After almost a decade of distributing albums for C&CI, he had heard a lot of feedback from dealers and collectors on what they liked and disliked about the current coin albums in the market.

In 1963 Felix took his insights and left C&CI to create a competing set of albums, the Continental Line series. Since he was in Southern California and Dansco was already based in Los Angeles, he contracted with Dansco to make his albums. Felix posted several advertisements of his albums in a few issues of Coin World.

STACK'S BOWERS FALL 2024 MAASTRICHT SALE

By the time you read this, you will have had a chance to take a look at the catalog for the upcoming Fall 2024 Maastricht Auction, which will take place on October 2, 2024, and offer nearly 850 lots of paper money from around the world. In this blog, I won’t focus on the rarest and most expensive notes in the sale, but instead will highlight some of my personal favorites. As I was cataloging the sale there are some notes that just stood out. While I am limited to the available space in the catalog, this blog allows me to expand a little more on why I think these notes are so interesting.

Lot 20171 is a 5 Rigsdaler from Denmark dated 1863, Pick-A62a, graded Very Fine 20 by PMG. Prior to the middle of the 19th century the paper money of much of Scandinavia, including Denmark, was rather simplistic, typically black and white notes printed in a uniface format. While this note is still uniface, its design is a radical change from earlier types, with a lovely and highly detailed engraving. It’s also a type that is not very often encountered and, in my opinion, would make a worthwhile addition to any advanced Scandinavian collection.

ERNEST SHACKLETON'S POLAR MEDAL

A mystery millionaire, an international export ban, and an undisclosed sum that potentially runs into the millions has seen a rare medal awarded to legendary polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton coming to New Zealand.

Shackleton’s Polar Medal, hailed as being of great significance in the history of Antarctic exploration, has today been unveiled at Canterbury Museum in Christchurch.

"This cements Canterbury Museum’s international standing as the repository of one of the most significant collections of heroic age Antarctic objects in the world," said museum director Anthony Wright.

The medal, presented to Shackleton after three expeditions to the icy continent, had been the subject of a temporary export bar in Britain where it has been for 100 years.

HIDDEN FIGURES CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDALS

A simple turn of phrase was all it took for U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito of Katherine Johnson’s home state of West Virginia to capture the feeling in Emancipation Hall at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.

"It’s been said that Katherine Johnson counted everything," she said. "But today we’re here to celebrate the one thing even she couldn’t count, and that’s the impact that she and her colleagues have had on the lives of students, teachers, and explorers."

That sense of admiration and awe toward the legacy and impact of NASA’s Hidden Figures was palpable Wednesday during a Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony to honor the women’s work and achievements during the space race.

CLEANING CURRENCY IN GAZA

The prolonged closure of bank branches in Gaza and the halt in the influx of new currency since the war began have left residents using the same worn-out banknotes for nearly a year, complicating the already fragile commercial activity and sparking a rise in counterfeit currency.

A new profession has emerged on the margins of this crisis—"banknote cleaning." For a fee, Gaza residents can have their worn-out currency cleaned: a 100-shekel note costs 4 shekels to clean, a 20-shekel note costs 2 shekels, and a 200-shekel note costs 5 shekels. Some have even developed methods to repair torn notes or refresh them using cleaning products. Markets in Gaza are now seeing old and battered 100- and 20-shekel bills re-enter circulation.

LOOSE CHANGE: SEPTEMBER 22, 2024

Korean Enameled Silver Coins

In 1882, the state introduced a series of silver coins aimed at modernizing its trade. The coins came in three sizes denominated in Chon (or 1/10 ounce): 1 Chon, 2 Chon, and 3 Chon. Like the coins of its neighbors, these were produced to high standards of silver weight and purity. However, because Joseon lacked the sophisticated equipment needed to produce milled coinage, these new coins were cast. One side bears four Hanja characters, giving the coin’s denomination read right to left, and Tae Dong ("Great East," an archaic name for Korea) read top to bottom. The opposite side displays only one character, Ho, as a mintmark. This central character was filled in at the mint by a glossy cloisonné enamel coating in black, blue, or green. It is this unusual trademark that sets this series apart from any other East Asian coinage.

It is uncertain why the mint chose to employ this expensive and labor-intensive technique, which required each coin to be refired in order to melt and set the glass powder. If the objective was to make the coins appear more valuable, it may have worked too well; they quickly fell out of circulation as the upper-class Yangban population hoarded the intrinsically valuable silver coins. Since the coins did not have the desired effect, Joseon authorities quickly discontinued their production in 1883, only months after the coins were first minted. Fourteen years later, the Joseon Era itself came to a close with the proclamation of the Korean Empire.
