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.
