Tim Coleman and Ernie Nagy

1:00 P.M.
The Evolution of Bald Eagles on US Coins
By Tim Coleman

If you haven't heard Tim speak, here's your opportunity. Tim does great PowerPoint presentations on a variety of topics, and they are always interesting. Here is his topic description: See how the Bald Eagle changed from the early years of United States coin production to the modern-day strikes. See what years and which denominations of coins included an artist's Bald Eagle interpretation on either the obverse or reverse.

2:00 P.M.
A Collection of Presidential Election Campaign Medals- Andrew Jackson through Abraham Lincoln
By Ernie Nagy

These medals were issued to persuade voters during election cycles. Some promote policies which were debated during the day, some have fascinating stories. In total they document the era when Electoral College representatives were first selected by voters and not state legislatures. Some of the pieces in the collection resemble coins which circulated at the time, some are fine works of numismatic art. The collection includes pieces issued by the winning candidates now familiar to us, and also those who ran unsuccessfully and are all but forgotten. A few of the pieces are rare, but a surprising number of them are easily obtainable. Whether or not you collect these, if you enjoy American history you'll find this talk interesting.

3:00-4:00 p.m.
Robert Campbell from Utah presenting a special presentation on toned Coins

Bob is an internationally known specialist on toned coins, coming to us from Utah! Also, a summer seminar instructor for 30+ years at the nationally known Summer Seminar, Bob will give you a mini-seminar in rainbow-toned coins. Here is the official description of his talk.

Become familiar with the color sequence of rainbow toning on coins, the difference between natural and artificial toning, and the contrast between "liquid transfer directional gas" and "air transfer" toning.

Bob leads an exploration of artificial frosting and surface reproofing. H. Robert Campbell is an ANA past president and owner of All About Coins. Bob is known as the foremost authority on toning in the United States. In an hour and a half, you will learn more about toning on coins than 20 years of trying to figure it out yourself.
