the past," Mr. Neumann
said. "We need a broader
constituency. We need to
have a better understanding
of the issues we're trying to
promote."
Mr. Neumann is working
to position JINSA as a kind
of think tank on security af-
fairs.
"Through research and
scholarship, we hope to legit-
imately influence how peo-
ple think about issues," he
said. "We've created the
JINSA Center for Security
Affairs to do this."

But JINSA is up against
some formidable barriers.
"In a way, it's a race against
time," Mr. Neumann said.
"It will take time to benefit
from all this change. Like
every other Jewish organ-
ization, we're facing a
difficult job raising money in
today's economy."
Mr. Neumann knows all
about economic hardship;
until recently, he was the
chief professional at B'nai
B'rith International, the fi-
nancially hemorrhaging
giant of the Jewish world.

1834 Capped Head $5 NGC Mint State 63: Because of the reduced weight of the 1834 Classic
Head, over 99% of the Capped Head $5 were melted. One wonders after 156 years how such a coin could
have survived and still retail its pristine luster and sparkling freshness. How rare is this coin? NGC Census
Reports lists just 2. PCGS Population lists 1. None higher. With today's market softness beginning to turn
this is the time to buy low.

1804 Quarter Eagle

13 Stars on reverse and PCGS AU-55: Specialists in this series learn early
on that 1804 is a scarce date in and of itself. However, the majority of 1804's are of the 14 Star variety: To
give you an idea of just how rare this coin is, we turn to David Akers' 70 year study of auction records.
Akers calls the 1804 13 Stars "The RAREST Quarter Eagle," and "almost every significant collection of quarter
eagles is lacking this variety." Is it any wonder? In 70 years only 2 coins have appeared in auction and they
may very well have been the same coin — both were graded VF. The PCGS population report shows just
-2 coins in all grades 1 XF40 and this finest known AU55. With the current market softness this coin could
be the investment buy of the decade.

$87,500.

1830 Half Eagle

PCGS graded Mint State 64: Due to the export of American gold coins from 1800
to 1834 Congress passed the Coinage Act of 1834. In this act the gold content of Half Eagles was lowered
to where it was not profitable to export or melt. More than 99% of the pre-1834 mintage (including this
rare 1830) was melted between 1834 and 1843. This coin is not only the finest known 1830 $5, it grades
a full 2 points higher than the next finest known example! With the current market softness this coin is
now priced favorably for the connoisseur.

$104 000.

The battle over President
Bush's proposals to overhaul
the nation's educational
system is beginning to - per-
colate on Capitol Hill.
Recently, one of the few
Jewish groups supporting
the administration's plan to
provide indirect public fun-
ding to parochial schools
came to town to weigh in on
the controversial issue.
Rabbi Morris Sherer, the
longtime leader of Agudath
Israel of America, met with
a top White House aide in
response to rumors that the
White House was backing
away from this part of the
educational reform package.
The Orthodox group came

away reassured.
"We'd heard that the ad-
ministration was consider-
ing deferring parts of the
plan involving school choice
for non-public schools," said
an Aguda spokesman. "We
were pleased that they were
very insistent that this is not
true."
But that fact will produce
little rejoicing in the larger
Jewish community. Most
Jewish organizations are
opposed to public funding of
parochial schools on separa-
tion of religion and state
grounds and are lining up
their troops for a major
battle over the parochial aid
issue.

OU Gears Up For 1992
Democratic Convention

The Union of Orthodox
Jewish Congregations of
America is cranking up its
political machinery for 1992,
when the political spotlight
will briefly move away from
Washington as the two par-
ties nominate their presi-
dential and vice-presidential
candidates.
The offices of the Orthodox
Union are just a few blocks
away from Madison Square
Garden in New York —
where the Democrats will
choose some brave soul to
oppose President Bush. The
Orthodox group is already
working on ways to exploit

that bit of geographic seren-
dipity.
The organization, which
has been increasing its polit-
ical activity by the day,
plans to make its facilities
available to delegates and to
have its activists aggressive-
ly weighing in on the con-
vention floor.
"This is a tremendous op-
portunity," said William
Rapfogel, the OU's director
of public affairs. "We'll be
hosting a number of diff-
erent events, and we'll pro-
vide a number of services to
delegates. We're very ex-
cited about this."
