Fringe benefits to Web sites

Sometimes people want to reuse your coin photos. Sometimes they even
pay you for this. Sometimes they even send you the book in which your
coin appears in. I received in the mail today a copy of Cool Coins:
Creating Fun and Fascinating Collections by Pam Scheunemann. It's
targeted toward kids, a little hardback book 32 pages long, with lots
of color photos of ranging from the world's first coin (mine) to state
quarters. Anybody want to guess which coin is on the cover and the
title page (not mine)?

OK, a crown from the Isle of Man honoring Spongebob Squarepants (don't tell
me they've overlooked this money-maker).

Mr. Jaggers

is this the newest RCC contest?

Not a contest because somebody could always track the book down and
look for themselves. Let's see if it's on Amazon.com yet ... yep. g
Publication date is this month, just out.

The coin on the cover and the title page is a Peace dollar. Not a bad
choice for a coin book targeted toward kids. Attractive, relatively
affordable big silver coin no longer seen in pocket change,
considerably more attractive than Morgan dollars. Not as attractive as
Saints, but kids don't collect Saints, typically. Maybe an even better
choice would have been a Walker -- still a big coin not typically seen
except in coin shops but even more affordable and with many more
dates. The Lincoln cent is the most collected coin of all time, but
the design is stale, and kids see it all the time in change, nothing
that pops up at you. Buffalo nickel would have been a good choice too,
the stark, craggy beauty and the history, with the newer Buffalo gold
and silver bullion coins an interesting update on a classically
American design. But I suppose even the Buffalo dollar is too pricey
for most kids. Another choice would have been to put several types of
quarters on the cover, starting with a state quarter and going
backward.

Going backward ... what coin collecting is all about. g And why it's
not as popular with kids today as it was with kids in the past, with
kids today forward facing with all of their electronic pastimes.

Darn, I was wrong again, but gladly so. I think the Peace Dollar is an
under-appreciated (I don't mean monetarily, either) coin design.

Well, if you look at it in context - it replaced a highly detailed,
sculptural work of art, with something where the whole coin seems to be
in "soft focus". Very few details, relatively. Big chunky elements,
much like the Franklin Half. Both of those coins just leave me flat
(heh) as far as design goes.

That said, it's one of the next series I plan to work on.
