Educational Seminars Friday November 24th and Saturday November 25th
Mark Benvenuto—Using X-rays to tell just what your coins are made of—Friday November 24th 11am-12pm, Macomb Room Coins today are made with extremely precise metal formu-las, and quality control is rigorous. But throughout history, this has not always been the case. Analyzing ancient and medieval coins by X-ray – with what is called an energy
dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDXRF) – can tell a great deal about what metals are actually in a coin. Interestingly, such an instrument can also tell counterfeits in many cases. This talk will be an easy-to-understand seminar about how XRF can be used to help us learn more about our coins, be they ancient or modern.
John H. Twist—Two Cent Pieces—Encore presen-tation with new and updated information! Friday November 24th 2pm-3pm, Macomb Room The Two Cent Piece, introduced in 1864 and minted for only nine years, is one of the shortest US series. Wildly popular at its introduction, it’s acceptance waned quickly after 1865 at the introduction of the shield nickel. The Two Cent Piece is the first coin to carry the motto “In God We
Trust.” It’s also one of only three US coins that does not bear Liberty, a per-son, or an animal. Come learn about this fascinating, easily collectible set from John Twist of Grand Rapids, Michigan, who had the PCGS “All Time Finest” Two Cent set in 2009. He will regale you with stories of the Two Cent’s birth and introduc-tion, of James B Longacre and Salmon Chase, of the Civil War and govern-
ment ineptitude, as well as grading and a study of the coin itself.
Patrick Heller—The Story Behind the 2018 Michigan
America The Beautiful Quarter Honoring Pictured
Rocks National Lakeshore—Friday November 24th
3pm-4:30pm Macomb Room
Patrick A. Heller is the owner emeritus and communications officer of Liberty Coin Service in Lansing, having been an
owner from 1981 to the end of 2014. He began collecting coins in 1964 but first became a certified public accountant before buying Liberty.
Page 7
Pat used his accounting skills to lead the effort that gained a Michigan sales and use tax exemption on rare coins and precious metals in 1999. He then documented that the Michigan Treasury increased its overall tax collections after the exemption took effect. His research was later used to help win coin and bullion sales and use tax exemptions in Iowa, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Nebraska, and to expand existing exemptions in Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. This year his research was used for legislative pas-sage of exemptions in Virginia and Indiana, which (as of late March) had not yet been signed by the respective governors. Pat has written the monthly newsletter, Liberty’s Outlook, for more than 20 years. He also is a regular contributor to Numismatic News, Coin Week, and to other publications. He writes a bi-monthly column on collectibles for The Greater Lansing Business Monthly. Pat produces two commentaries weekly on 1320 WILS AM in Lansing titled “Things You ‘Know’ That Just Aren’t So, And Important News You Need To Know.” These commentaries have earned Numismatic Literary Guild awards three times. When time per-mits, he also produces a show called “Dollars And Sense” for the internet radio station MichiganBusinessNetwork.com, with a heavy numismatic and precious metals content. He has also given presentations at several numis-matic conventions across the country.
Peter Shireman, MD—How to Build a Top Registry
Set—Saturday November 25 1pm-2pm,
Macomb Room
Peter is a pathologist who practices part-time in Mus-kegon Michigan. He has collected coins since he was about 10 years old. He grew up in Kansas City, MO and his grandmother was a collector who got him interested in
collecting. In his early collecting days, he collected what he could afford, helped out by purchases made by his father, from local coin shops, mail order, and occasional coin shows. His interest grew through the years and he worked at George Fletcher's Coin Shop in Kansas City for many years on Saturdays, until he turned 18 and started college. Collecting went on hold through his years of college and medical school. Once he finished his pathology training at the University of Michigan in Ann
Arbor, he began collecting again. It was around 1993 and certification had
begun. His first purchases were higher-end type coins including an 1892
Barber Half in PCGS MS 64. Within a few years he began a set of certified
Barber halves in grades MS 64-65. His talk will focus on the building of a
top-end registry set which he completed in 2015 and sold at auction in Jan-
uary 2016.
Kathy Freeland—Love Tokens—Saturday
November 25 2pm-3pm, Macomb Room
Love tokens have been a part of collecting history for many
people over the years. Join Kathy as she discusses the his-
tory of love tokens, both abroad and here in the United
States, how they were (and are) engraved, the coins they
used, and what kinds of jewelry were made. A 15 minute
DVD about love tokens will be shown, and a power point
presentation will show examples from Kathy’s collection. She will also be
bringing some real love tokens for all to see. Plan to join us for a look into
the past at some fascinating pieces!
Clifford Mishler—State of the Hobby—Saturday November 25 3pm-4pm, Macomb Room
Former MSNS board member and president and life mem-ber will give his presentation on decades of experiences backed by a wealth of knowledge and first hand involve-ment related to the coin hobby both past and present.
Clifford was introduced to the world of coins in 1950 at age 10. Since then he has been an author, editor, publisher, corporate manager and consult-ant. He has worked closely and hand-in-hand with persons such as Q.David Bowers, Chet Krause and numerous hobby giants. He has been a life mem-ber of ANA for more than 60 years as well as serving on the ANA board and eventually becoming president. He is the recipient of numerous awards and honors both nationally and internationally. He has spoken to the US Con-gress on matters related to numismatics and served on various government related committees. Clifford was a founding member of the Tokens and Medals Society (TAMS). His experiences are of a life time and will capture the minds, memories and imaginations of all those that attend.
