Boyle's Column Coin Collecting Develops Into Realm Of Big Industry Br HAL BOYLE NEW YORK. Dec. 13 W) Coin collecting the world's old eat hobby is enjoying such a boom now that a ten-inch strand of Indian wampum costs a hun dred bucks. But the price has zoomed too late to help the unwary redskin who fashioned this e'-icll money centuries before John Smitii be came the most popular name in the phone books. Wampum is just one of 100, 000 specimens of money stocked in stacks by the Stack brothers Joseph B. and Morton since their grandfather became a coin dealer in 1858. If you think coin collecting is Just an Indian-head penny game for the kiddies it may interest you to know that this year the Stack firm sold a $3 gold piece minted in San Francisco for 116,000. Hoax But you have to be careful. The Slacks know a man who paid $5000 for what he thought was a $5 gold piece of 1815. When -he tried to insure it, how ever, it turned out to be an 1813 gold piece worth only $50. A counterfeiter had worked on tie piece. Coin collecting is now in the midst of its biggest boom with an estimated quarter of a mil lion followers in this country, lone. Joseph Stack estimates about 40,000 of these are "ser ious" collectors. "Prices have doubled since tha war," chiefly because of the in creased demand," 'he said. One of the chief stimulants -has been the sending home by American soldiers of souvenir coins from abroad. Coins proved a real wartime hedge against disaster for many Europeans. "I know of at least two dozen refugees who founded successful businesses here through the sale of coins they had brought to this country," said Joseph. Texas produces 91 per cent of the mohair grown in the United States. A mere phone call can get you that policy from Hans Norland. 6060 or 3827. Redmond Air Base Buildings Sold PORTLAND.
