Alaskan Coin Collectors
To Observe Special Week
Many coin collectors in Al
aska will celebrate the week
of April 29 to May 5 as Nation
al Coin Week. According to i
Guy Woodings of Palmer, pres
ident of the Alaska Coin Club,
the hobby has grown consider
ably the past few years, with
people branching into its many
fields. The young or new collec
tor nearly always starts by
purchasing an inexpensive
general reference book and
holders for present coinage
. . . then starts looking through
his change. As a collector ad
vances his hobby he usually
narrows his field and special
izes. He has many choices,
Woodings pointed out. Domes
tic or foreign, ancient or pres
ent, coinage or currency, gold
or silver or copper (even plat
inum, alluminum, tin and oth
ers), merchants’ tokens, official
issues or medals, etc. Tokens of
Alaska are very popular at the
present time and a revised re
ference is forthcoming this
Fall, listing official issues such
as the Bingles of ARF.C, as well
as bar, bus, commemorative, j
tokens and others, he added. |
Alaska’s Senators and Repre- j
sentative have introduced bills
into Congress to authorize a
commemorative 50 cent piece
to be struck in 1967 for the an
niversary of Alaska's purchase.
The bill specifies 100,000 50
cent pieces, of a special appro
priate design, to be legal ten
der to the amount of their face
value. Stipulated also, is that
the coins be issued only upon
request of the office of the gov
ernor of the State of Alaska
upon payment of the par value
of the coins. The coins would
then presumably be sold at a
profit to interested persons and
collectors to defray contennial
expenses. Several collectors
have urged a silver dollar be
authorized and issued through
regular banking channels.
Some would like to have 7,200.
000 struck to remind the Rus
sians of the meager price paid
for this great land, Woodings
said.
The Alaska Coin Club, as a
member of the American Num
ismatic Association, is celebrat
ing National Coin Week with
displays, informative talks,
television appearances and a
coin auction. The auction con
sists of over 500 lots and will
be held at 1 p.m. April 29 at
Sunset Motors in Anchorage.
Coins will be for sale prior to
and after the auction at the
bourse tables.
