10:11:16 am Permalink Low orders = low mintage on this year's NENA medals   English (US)

Categories: Announcements [A], 64 words

We have received a lower than average number of orders for the 2008 NENA medals. This means that as of right now the 2008 medals will be one of the lowest mintages in recent memory. Don’t miss your chance to get in on what looks to be a rarity for collectors of this series. Here is the order form http://www.nenacoin.org/nena_medal.pdf

06:29:03 pm Permalink Mint to sell Presidential Dollar at face value   English (US)

Categories: Announcements [A], 123 words

The US Mint has started taking order for $250 boxes of Presidential dollars. Each box will contain 10 25 coin rolls which may consist of rolls all from one mint or may have rolls from both mints. Customers will not be allowed to request which mints the rolls are from as the purpose of this program is to get the coins into circulation and as such these $250 boxes are not viewed as collector products. The other notable thing about this program is that the mint will ship the coins free of charge so these coins really are being sold at face value. Each customer is limited to a maximum of 2 boxes or 500 coins. For more info visit the mint’s web site as http://www.mint.gov

05:39:38 pm Permalink PCGS to begin slabbing "problem" coins as "genuine"   English (US)

Categories: Announcements [A], 65 words

PCGS recently announced a new service where they will encapsulate coins which they had previously body bagged. These “problem” coins will be put in regular PCGS slabs but in place of a grade there will just be the word “Genuine". This service will not attempt to place a net grade on the coin similar to the way ANACS and NGC (under their NCC service) do.

02:08:40 pm Permalink Big changes ahead for US currency?   English (US)

Categories: Announcements [A], 106 words

The Treasury Department losts its appeal of a lower court decision ruling that it is discriminating against blind people because there is no tactile way for them to distinguish different denominations of US currency.

The Treasury Department had argued that blind people should use currency reading devices that identify different denominations as the cost to change the vending machines so that they could recognize different sized bills or some other method of distinguishing different denominations would be too expensive. However the US Court of Appeals disagreed. The Treasury Department has not yet announced if it is going to appeal the decision to the US Supreme Court.

Message from the President

On Saturday, October 11 NENA's 2008 Convention and Annual Meeting will again be held in conjunction with the New Hampshire Coin and Currency Expo, but at a new venue - The Radison Hotel/ Center of New Hampshire, 700 Elm Street in Manchester. We will continue our Young Numismatist (YN) program and expect to have a range of speakers and interesting presentations. Also, we will continue the practice of sponsoring a two-day ANA course. Check our web site, www.NENACoin.org, for details.

This year's medal theme is a nice complement to last year's Saint Gaudens $20 Gold centennial. This year we celebrate the centennial of Saint Gaudens $10 Gold Indian Head design. Once again, silver and gilded bronze ex- amples will be offered. Check for an order form elsewhere in this issue. If you haven't yet visited the Saint Gaudens National Historic Site in Cor- nish, New Hampshire, this year would be a great time to do so. His work is of great artistic as well as numismatic importance and a tour of his studio and grounds is both beautiful and informative. And if you do go, how about writing an article on your experience for NENA News? We are always looking for contributions and it is kind of neat seeing your byline in print!

Finally, the great cent debate rages on - to keep it or not? Should we change its composition? What do you think? I think the new designs for the Lincoln Cent Centennial in 2009 would make a fitting conclusion to the series. How- ever, knowing our country's resistance to change (e.g. we still have the one dollar note in addition to the largely non- circulating coin), we'll probably have the cent for the foreseeable future. Good collecting!
