teD rood CANITO Silver shekel of Judea. Price trends chronicled in weekly publication By LEON LINDHEIM Originals exist, but beware: A Since the early 1960s, Coin World, a weekly numismatic publication, has charted the prices of selected dates of various U.S. coin denominations, generally in brillant, uncirculated condition. For nearly 25 years, interesting facts have emerged. Peace dollars have increased in value 305 fold, followed by Morgan dollars, which have risen 253 fold.

The next best results were obtained by investors in gold dollars, which increased 110 times in value. In this same period, Lincoln cents, Jefferson nickels and Roosevelt dimes only rose three to four times in value, while Barber dimes, quarters and halves did only slightly better. If you would enjoy following these trends, you may wish to subscribe to Coin World, P.O. Box 150, Sidney, 0. 45367.

You can get a free sample copy by writing it and mentioning this column. DID YOU KNOW that a shekel was originally a measure of weight? According to my dictionary, a shekel is "an ancient weight unit used by the Hebrews, Babylonians, equal to about half an ounce" or "a half-ounce gold or silver coin of the ancient Hebrews." If we remember that until recently a coin was supposed to have a metallic content equal in value to its worth, then it seems logical that the term was used to designate the first coins struck by the Hebrews. One of my source books said that when Antiochus VII in 141 B.C. appointed Simon Maccabeus governor of Jerusalem and declared it a free city, one of Maccabeus' first acts was to establish coinage for the city and name the unit a shekel. On its face was a chalice, and directly above it were the letters designating the year of freedom.

In other words, 140 B.C. would show "Year Two" and 139 B.C. would show "Year Three." The letters around the border translate to "Shekel of Israel." On the reverse, the triple lilies were pictured with letters that translate into "Jerusalem the Holy City." The shekel is quite thick, which lends credence to the theory that a ball of silver was placed between hardened dies and then struck a powerful blow with a mallet or hammer. 35 40 Originals exist, but beware: A great many forgeries also are offered for sale. Q.

Why does the 1934-S silver dollar sell for about five times that of the 1928 silver dollar? A. This is a good question since the 1928 coin had a mintage of only 360,649 and sells uncirculated for about $250, while the 1934-S had a coinage of 1,011,000 pieces and sells for about $1,300. In 1929, it was announced that the 1928 pieces were not being in circulation, but were being set aside "for cornerstone laying, or other dedicatory purposes." Therefore, the collectors of that day wrote to the Treasury Department in Washington for single pieces, stating that they had a need for them, real or imagined. As a result, many were saved in new condition as compared to the 1934-S silver dollars, which were released into circulation by the San Francisco Mint as The end result is that far fewer 1934-S coins art known today in new condition than 1928 pieces. Q.

Why do certain British colonial coins show Elizabeth II bareheaded and others show her with a crowned head? L.B. A. If the British possession is self.so the queen is bareheaded. But if the possession is considered a colony (referred to as a "Crown the ruler is shown wearing a crown. Q.

Is there anything wrong in repairing a mutilated coin? A. As long as you do not intend to misrepresent the piece, I see nothing wrong. It is unlawful to deface an American coin. But should you repair one already mutilated with a or a solder mark, you can only be accused of trying to improve such a coin, not spoiling it. STAMPS AND COINS COIN WISE, INC.
