Bank Teller Collects Coins for Hobby

Israel Editor Lederle Says Oversight
Will Speak ,IMay Endanger Projects

By DAVID KAPLAN
Bus drivers take their children
for rides, accountants do their
own tax returns, and an Ann Ar-
bor Bank teller collects coins.
The teller is Mary Meyer, from
Joliet, Ill. who works in the State
Street branch. She has been col-
lecting coins for two years, and
l her collection now numbers over
three hundred.
MRS. MEYER'S husband, Rob-
ert, is a teaching fellow in the
chemistry department, and is also
interested in coin collecting.
The interest for numismatol-
ogy was instilled in Mrs. Meyer
by Durwood Warren, a co-work-
er at the Ann Arbor Bank. It
wasn't until she had come to
Ann Arbor in September, 1950
that she first became interested
in coin collecting.
American coins are the Meyers'
specialty. As a teller, she is in
an advantageous position to pur-
sue her hobby. At any off mo-
ment, she will take a roll of coins,
open it, and avidly go through
them, hunting for a coin that
might be one she needs. But she
doesn't get them free.-
Tellers in the bank know that
she is a collector and keep on
the lookout for coins she needs.
Close friends, and even some Uni-
versity students help her in col-
"' letting.
* * *
AT PRESENT, the Meyers col-
lection, kept in the safety deposit
vault of the Ann Arbor Bank, isI
not highly valuable. "It takes 20
or 30 years before a collection is
worth something," says Mr. Meyer.
One of the most interesting
aspects of coin collecting for the
Meyers has been the huge
amount of American history and
coinage history that they have
obtained through their hobby.

One of their most interesting
coins dates from the Civil War
era. At that time people were
hoarding gold coins, so the gov-
ernment minted "Civil War To-C

coins, the shape and size of a
dime. "At least 15,000 varieties of
these coins are known," said Mey-
er, "an dtheir themes ranged from

coln Head variety, minted in Den-
ver in 1952. The die had been off
center, and the coin was pressed
with half coin face, half solid cop-
per.
The greatest difficulty en-
countered in coin collecting,
other than the rarity of coins
due to age, is the fact that many
of them were minted in small
quantities. One Liberty Bead
series of quarters were minted
in the thousands, or perhaps
only up to half a million.
In another case, there are only
six 1913 Liberty Head Nickels in
existence. At one time, three were
thought to have gone down with
the passengers on the Titanic.
More recently, it is believed that
the coins were once owned by Col,
Green, the son of the famous Het-
ty Green. Since his death; they
are believed to have been dis-
persed to collectors, with none in
circulation. These six coins are
each worth $4,250.
The most difficult coin for the
Meyers' to find has been a Lin-
coln Head penny minted in San
Francisco in 1909. It has "VDB,,
on its face, as well as the mint-
ing place. The "VDB" stands for
Victor D. Brennan, the designer of
the coin.
The Meyers keep their coins in
three-leaf folders which hold nick-
els, dimes, quarters, half dollars,
and gold or silver dollars dating as
far back as 1865. Mrs. Meyer ad-
mits with a sigh that all the books
are far from being filled. "But
they will be someday," she hope-
fully adds,

DICK WALE NER, '52, left a
trail of work as he whirled
through a year of telephone
training. Here he recalls
the variety of his training jobs.
(Reading time: 36 seconds)
"And in the Commercial Department,
I helped analyze the communication prob-
lems of one of the largest textile com-
panies-it had widespread offices and
plants. The recommendations made are
now in use.
"The variety in my training has carried

My job is to see that good service is
maintained for private line customers -
pipeline and power companies, theater
