GOLD
FOR THE
ADVANCED COLLECTOR
OR SERIOUS INVESTOR
PCGS Graded proof 63. One of the true rarities in coin
collecting. Original mintage on this piece was 30 pieces. This coin and two others are the only ones known
to exist. An affordable rarity for the advanced collector or serious investor.

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.
1804 Quarter Eagle
$87,500.
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.
1830 Half Eagle
$104,000.

In a note underneath the
reprint, Tikkun editors say
they "appreciated the
humor" of the spoof, but it
"stimulated a lively office
debate. Some found it funny;
some found it offensively
sexist. Is it obsessively
`politically correct' to ques-
tion this sort of humor? We'd
like to hear your reactions."
And so would we. Please

T
hose earnest folks at
Tikkun, the left-of-
center Jewish journal,
have a way of finding some-
thing sobering in just about
anything.
Amid a 22-page section in
the current Tikkun on "PC,"
or Political Correctness, that
includes eight essays on the
subject, appears a spoof by
Jewish News Editor Gary
Rosenblatt.
The parody presents the
cover of Cosmokun, the
magazine that would result
from the hypothetical — and
unlikely — merger of
Tikkun and Cosmopolitan.
Among the titles of
"articles" featured on the
"cover:"
• "Marla Maples on
Midrash."

How the New York Post treated Judge Thomas and the

Judge Thomas
Meets the Press
Interesting, the way diff-
erent newspapers played up
the Judge Clarence Thomas-
Rev. Louis Farrakhan
brouhaha.
Most notable was tabloid
New York Post for splashing
the news on its cover last
Saturday with a two-word
headline composed of
2 1/2-inch letters:
SUPREME FUROR.
Beneath that was the
quote from the Supreme
Court's nominee's 1983
speech that has gotten him
into such hot water:
The Reverend Farrakhan,
said the judge, was "a man
I've admired for more than a
decade."
The Nation of Muslim
leader, of course, has called
Judaism a "dirty religion"
and described Adolf Hitler
as "wickedly great." His
