Download or read book Where in the World Did All Those Silver Coins Come From written by David M. Fouts and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-31 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using this reference tool will facilitate the study of World Silver Coins for the beginning collector to the veteran Numismatist, always with a view to making a bit of extra money in the process. This book is not intended to replace the standard reference tools currently on the market. Those mammoth tomes are very thorough, and have their place. The value in this book is having a thorough work vetting World Silver Coins from approximately 1870 to 1970, in a size that can easily be carried by hand or in a briefcase to a club meeting, to a coin show, or to an appraisal, or simply at home with Grandfather's hoard. The reader will often be alerted to the designs, denominations, and dates of the rarest coins to retain for further study (and profit!). Conversely, those coins which do not have numismatic significance still have value in today's market as silver bullion, and this book provides the tools for the method of determining just how much one can expect to receive when remitting the coins to reputable dealers.

Download or read book The Metal in Britain s Coins written by Graham Birch and published by Spink Books. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin of the metals in Britain's coins is seldom discussed by numismatists, but this fascinating book shows what a compelling topic it can be. Graham Birch's starting point is to de-code the provenance marks on coins and understand the motives behind their use and the messages they convey - mostly about power and money. Britain is a proud seafaring nation and its wealth often arrived on board ships; global traders such as the Royal African Company and the South Sea Company brought bullion from all corners of the world. Still more treasure was seized during wartime by brave sea captains, both navy and privateers. The book delves into the history of this wealth, and examines how coins minted from this treasure were used for propaganda or prestige in a pre-social media era. Compared to trading or piracy, mining is a difficult route to riches, but for the last millennium, bold and sometimes foolhardy entrepreneurs risked everything to extract metals for our coins - logos and privy marks allow us to connect with the mines and the characterful people involved. The book spans two millennia, from Celtic staters to 21st Century silver minted from a 4,700m deep shipwreck, and will delight numismatists and anyone with an interest in economic history.

Book excerpt: Softcover book - The latest incarnation of Brother Can You Spare A Dime? - Modern Dime Size Silver Coins of the World with Footnotes to History has been published in a Third Edition. This work, a many year project to study these coins as miniature engravings of Art and History, was first published in 1997. Several years later a CD-rom was produced as the Second Edition. The author won a Numismatic Literary Guild Award for this Edition. The Third Edition, a 600 page book with over a thousand enlarged scans of the coins from the mid 1800's to 1970 show coins from around the world - Afghanistan to Yemen. These coins were the money of the people at the time; one would represent a days work, purchase a meal or a night's entertainment. Kings, Queens and Statesmen are portrayed on dozens, with little biographies of many. More than a numismatic book, this anthology is a fine way to develop a better understanding of money in use during the previous two centuries. A great addition to your numismatic library.

This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coinage appeared at a moment when it fulfilled an essential need in Greek society and brought with it rationalization and social leveling in some respects, while simultaneously producing new illusions, paradoxes, and new elites. In a book that will encourage scholarly discussion for some time, David M. Schaps addresses a range of important coinage topics, among them money, exchange, and economic organization in the Near East and in Greece before the introduction of coinage; the invention of coinage and the reasons for its adoption; and the developing use of money to make more money.

Download or read book The Story of Silver written by William L. Silber and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the story of silver's transformation from soft money during the nineteenth century to hard asset today, and how manipulations of the white metal by American president Franklin D. Roosevelt during the 1930s and by the richest man in the world, Texas oil baron Nelson Bunker Hunt, during the 1970s altered the course of American and world history. FDR pumped up the price of silver to help jump start the U.S. economy during the Great Depression, but this move weakened China, which was then on the silver standard, and facilitated Japan's rise to power before World War II. Bunker Hunt went on a silver-buying spree during the 1970s to protect himself against inflation and triggered a financial crisis that left him bankrupt. Silver has been the preferred shelter against government defaults, political instability, and inflation for most people in the world because it is cheaper than gold. The white metal has been the place to hide when conventional investments sour, but it has also seduced sophisticated investors throughout the ages like a siren. This book explains how powerful figures, up to and including Warren Buffett, have come under silver's thrall, and how its history guides economic and political decisions in the twenty-first century"--Publisher's description
