GREETINGS! President’s
Page
We’re having a mild summer here in Seattle - no scorching heat waves, just pleas¬ ant days in the high 70s-low 80s. Lots of swimming, baseball and things in between.
We took a quick trip to Glacier Park shortly after it opened for the season in mid-June. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who’s never been. The scenery is truly spectacular, and on this trip I saw a moose in the wild for the first time! Another weekend trip took us to Oregon where we visited Maryhill Museum - a gem in the middle of nowhere. There’s a replica of the Stonehenge nearby, both built by railroad man Sam Hill about 100 years ago. Our most recent adventure was an overnight trip to Courtney, BC to visit the recent widow of a friend. We traveled to Tsawwassen to catch the ferry & then drove up island several hours, passing an exotic dancer’s nightclub across the highway from a Pentecostal camp. Quite the contrast! We saw many deer and a huge gathering of eagles. Vancouver Island is wild and very beautiful, and our visit was a good one, sharing stories about Harvey over dinner and later a quiet visit to his favorite beach.
We’ve lost several members of our club family in recent months. Odell Morrow, a charter member of the club passed away last winter, and we’ve sent condolences to his wife Billie. Another newer member, Larry Hoeft, has also passed away.
It is now less than a month away from our annual meet¬ ing in Dalton, Georgia! Doug Jennings has put together a short list of things to see 8c do in tJiat fair city. 1 liave arranged for a dinner at a local cafe recommended by Jim Best for Saturday evening directly after our meeting. We’ll try southern cuisine at Oakwood Cafe. Various reviewers on yelp.com describe the restaurant thusly: “If you ever find yourself in Dalton, Georgia, stop here to eat. If this place is a spitting image of the kind of southern cooking one would expect, count me in. The black eyed peas, the sweet potato, the peach cobbler: all delicious.” Another guest writes, “The cafe has a hometown, friendly feel to it. The wait staff were laughing and enjoying their work and seemed to have a personal connection with lots of local cli¬ ents....! could see us eating here again, if we’re ever back in the area. Good food and service for a very reasonable price.” I.a.st, but not least, “The Oakwood Cate is a gem of a place? I his

local family owned and operated restaurant has great southern ch arm and delicious southern cuisine. Fried chicken tenders, pot roast, meatloaf, you name it the Oakwood probably has it.” Kinda makes your mouth water, doesn’t it??
Our ‘Everything’s )ust Peachy’ rounds have arrived and I’ll be sorting orders out for the next week or more. Luckily I have plenty of time to get things ready, which isn’t always the case. They look great and hopefully everyone will be pleased with the end result. Orders should be shipped mid-August, unless you're picking yours up in Dalton. For the record, we minted 140 in plain silver and had another 70 enameled. All of them are serial numbered. If you ordered in time and requested your club number, your plain silver round will come that way. The enameled rounds are consecutively numbered from 0001 to 0070. They have an extra digit to distinguish them from the plain silver variety. Antique bronze rounds were also made, and if you attend the meeting or have contributed to The Silver Bugle over the past year, then you’ll receive one of these as a gilt. Extras are available for sale on our ‘Club Store’ page.
This just in from the BRNA show organizers! We will be meeting in Room B1 for both the seminar at 1pm and our meeting, which will be held at 3pm on Saturday, August 18. The room is located on the lower floor of the convention center. When entering the NW Georgia Trade & Convention Center, the directions will be to turn left and travel toward the staircase, and the room will be to the left. The La Quinta Inn is the host hotel with a discount rate if you mention the coin show. I’ve also been advised that local restaurants in Dalton will be giv¬ ing a discount if you show your hotel key to the hostess. We’ve reprinted the meeting information and list of hotels on another page, in case you’re still searching for a place to stay.
Enjoy the rest of your summer. We’ll have full convention news and photos in the next issue of The Silver Bugle.

V.P. Corner
By Doug lemiings
“Take the last train to Dalton and I'll meet you at the station” on August 17th through the 19th. I hope the 60’s group, Ihe Monkees, doesn’t mind me para-phrasing their lyrics, but look out Dalton, here we (lASAC) come! The BRNA better be ready for us.
Dalton is a city of roughly 30,000 inhabitants. Dalton and Cal¬ houn are closely related because of the carpet industry. 1 spoke with Jamie [ones who works at the Calhoun magazine published in Dalton. I have a copy of the magazine, and it lists a number of things to do, places to go, and areas of interest.
Because of its location in northern Georgia, it has very strong ties to the Civil War. In May, they had the 28th Annual and the 1 48th Anniversary of the Battle of Resaca. The Resaca Battlefield State His¬ toric Park is located northwest of 1-75 Exit 320. A local lady named Mary ). Green (1831-1924) is remembered and appreciated “for her service and dedication in locating and collecting the remains of the Resaca battlefield and interring them in a plot of land that would become the first Confederate Cemetery in Georgia.” Also, the city of Dalton is related to the “Great Locomotive Chase” between the Gener¬ al which was a Confederate train that was being used to try and warn the Confederate officers of the Union army’s movements while be¬ ing chased by the Texas (Federal) train. Also, there is the Tunnel Hill Historic Museum and a few other spots of interest to investigate w hile you’re in Dalton.
Ladies, if you w'ould like to participate in a “Traditional Tea,” there is one offered Mondays through Fridays at Chelsea’s on Ihorn- ton. You need to make reservations ahead of time. The tea is from 1 1:00 am. to 2:00 pm. and the number to phone is 706-277-2872.
If you are planning to attend the BRNA/IASAC meeting, check the Dalton convention and tourism website. I’m sure you can find something to interest you outside the arena of numismatics and exonumia.
Until next time, keep a look out for what you enjoy collecting.

Be Your Own Banker
by Kandy Guberman
As predicted for a long time, silver did hit $50 per ounce about a year ago. Hope you cashed in if you’re in it for the money. Short lived, however, silver again has fallen hack below $30 per ounce.
Gold is no e.xception to the “yo-yo” market.
It’s no surprise that banks are paying much less than 1% interest. Although I make a disclaimer of no promises to a rate return on your sih'er investments, it is still my feeling that silver will again surpass $50 per ounce.
When will that be? Well, I think within the ne.xt 24 months. My reasoning is simply, supply and demand. Silver and gold are so important as trade units that their price fluctuations are reported in the news daily. Like any savings plan, you must stay diversified.
So why not he your own hanker and give yourself a raise? Buy, buy, buy what you can afford.
If you are a collector, you can pick up something nice for your col¬ lection w'hile prices are down. Remember the great deals you can get at coin shows? For most dealers, it’s just bullion. For me, it’s like silver’s on sale!
I’ve enjoyed my one term as Trustee and because of health reasons,
1 will be stepping down. 1 hope some of you have enjoyed my ar¬ ticles. I will continue to share some insight in future articles as my health permits.
For our great club and its members, may your purchases be many and your mistakes be few.

Silver Art Enigma
So far, this year has been quite interesting for silver art collectors, in my opinion. 1 hope it has granted fortunate collectors an opportunity to acquire a few unique items for their collection.
I recently stumbled upon a unique art bar, which appealed to me due to a number of artistic, historic and personal reasons. I am sure each and even,- silver art collector has a similar experience when coming in contact wth some rarit\- bars. In this case, obtaining the ph\ sical item was effortless in comparison to the failed attempts in obtaining information regarding mintage or the manufacturer. Of course, being a newbie I admit the majority of my knowledge is u.suall\- acquired a few days after the opportunit}- for such a rare find.
These particular art bars depict a U.S. military theme acknowledging the Picatinny Arsenal in Dover, New Jersey. I am familiar with two versions minted by the Crabtree Mint in 1976-77. The earlier a U.S. Bicentennial (mintage 1027) and the later an Armament Research and Dei elopment Command theme (mintage 527). I however, am still absolutely clueless as to the origin and mintage history' behind the depicted version.
They were clearly minted to commemorate the centennial of Picatinny Arsenals' founding by the U.S. War Department on 6 September 1880.
Estimating the date of mintage in 1980, the art bar also utilizes the title Armamenf Research and Development Command, which headquarters were based on location from 1977-83, recognized for leadership in development of weapons and munitions.
The historic integrity of the bar is accurate, but no identifi-ing mint marks are engrai ed into the item.
The reverse appears to be pressed using a simplistic die design, making me think it is possible the item is a limited run for a private collector associated with the Arsenal.
I have hope that perhaps another collector may have a similar item and information they are willing to discuss, regarding the history behind the design. Additional information as to other bars or rounds depicting similar events in military history would be appreciated as well.
“Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you; you must acquire it. " - Sudie Back
May each of you be blessed with good health and fortune!

Just Humor Me!
There was a bit of confusion at the store this morning. When 1 was ready to pay for my groceries, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me.”
Making a mental note to complain to my congressman about Homeland Security running amok, 1 did just as she had instructed.
When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subside, I found out that she was referring to my credit card.
I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.
They need to make their instruction to us ‘seniors’ a little clearer!
The Innocence of Children:
1 ) 1 was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As 1 was reeling from the shock, 1 heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, “Mom, that lady isn’t wearing a seat belt!”
2) On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read, “The opinions e.xpressed by this child are not neces¬ sarily those of his parents.’
3) A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. “Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She’s hitting the bottle.”
URGENT message to all my friends who wash their hair in the shower. ...YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS! It is so good to finally get a health warning that is useful!!! I don’t know WHY 1 didn’t figure this out sooner! 1 use shampoo in the shower. When 1 wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body and, printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning, “FOR EXTRA BODY AND VOLUME.” No wonder I have been gaining weight! Weil! 1 have gotten ride of that shampoo and I am going to start showering with Dawn dish soap instead. Its label I reads, “DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.” Problem solved! If 1 don’t answer the phone. I’ll be in the shower.!

Notes From Nancy’s Mailbag...
We receive friendly greetings and questions from members and others. Here is a sampling of that correspondence.
Chris Geiner emailed, “I had an experience today at the local coin show that you may want to mention in the next Bugle. A couple months back I had informed a coin dealer at the local show that 1 was minting my own bars. He was very interested in my Hal¬ loween design and said to bring some to the next coin show when I get them. Well. I took them and when 1 quoted the price to him he seemed shocked, and the guy next to him said ‘Well, all they are basically worth is silver.’ I explained all the costs involved and he understood it more and bought a set, but seemed unhappy about the price. This is a perfect example of silver art bars being treated as silver when they have a real value. At the end of the day, 1 get the last laugh because I will buy from them a little over spot and have bars that are worth way more than the silver content. Engelhard bars, etc. are for just bullion buyers. If dealers took into consid¬ eration that bars have a value then that would help the silver bar hobby tremendously.”
On receiving a Brain Teaser prize from the April puzzle, John Varner emailed to say, “What a cool day and surprise. When 1 got home this evening I found an envelope addressed to me from lA- SAC. Inside were two awesome bronze coins. The US Postal coin and the lASAC 25th Anniversary coin. Awesome! Thank you to lASAC and Randy Guberman on donating the prize! Made my day!”
Michael Turrini sent news of the California State Numismatic Association 13th annual Northern California ‘Coin Collector’s Retreat’ on Saturday, Sept. 29th at the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum in Vallejo. A full day’s worth of presentations and top¬ ics will be offered. For more information, write to P.O. Box 4281, Vallejo CA 94590-0428 or email EMPERORI@juno.com.
Marion Kendrick sent news of the Honolulu Coin Club’s Statehood Day Coin Show on Saturday, August 25 at the Fleet Reserve Assn.
Bldg., 891 Valkenburgh St. in Honolulu.
S _ >
Dave Cutitta emailed, “I’ve been a member of lASAC only a couple years, but have dealt in coins and bullion for almost 40 years and I’ve collecgted art bars since the early 70s. 1 set up at 25 or so coin shows in the Western New York area and I’ve never run across another lASAC member at those shows though I’ve sold thousands of art bars over those years. 1 thought a great idea would be to have any ‘overrun’ of copies of the Bugle sent to me (and other dealers willing to put in the time and elibrt) and I would distribute them at shows TO THOSE WHO SEEM INTERESTED in collecting silver art. 1 think it might be a great opportunity to increase membership without expending significant amounts of money. If you agree get in touch.”
We sent Dave a batch of Bugles, new and old, that were on hand.
If you would like to have a small number of Bugles to take to coin shows, please let us know.

Jim Best attended the summer FUN show and passed out many Bugles to prospective members while he was manning the lASAC table. Photo was taken by fellow lASAC member John Wilson.
