A Few Words From Your Pr esident
Thanks to everyone that participated in last month's Exhibit Night, both to those that
displayed their coins and numismatic-related collections and to those that did notdisplay but examined the exhibits and voted for their favorite collection. All of theexhibits were excellent in nature and well-planned. A special thanks is due Joe Bolingfor bringing in display cases and letting members borrow them for their exhibits. The
Club appreciates the time and effort it takes to haul the cases back and forth andtrusting members to take care of them and return them undamaged. Also, thanks toVinton Dove for coming up with the September door prize literally at the last minute.
Please volunteer to sit at the ICC table in December at the ISNA show to promote theClub and hand out related informational materials. A sign-up sheet is available boththis month and in November for all of those wanting to participate. Also, if you would
like to volunteer to help with the youth auction at the ISNA show or donate materialfor the auction, please see Gary Connor for details.
The slate of candidates for the 2019 ICC Board of Directors will be presented at thismonth's meeting. The election of officers will be conducted at our meeting inNovember. I encourage all members to consider running for a position on the board
in the future (nominations are due by our October of 2019 meeting) so that we have amore diverse board moving forward. As you may know, many board members havebeen on the list for quite some time, and new blood on the Board would be a goodthing. The time requirement is not substantial and you will be helping set the coursefor the future of the Club.
The questionnaire promised last month will be moved back to November. Time andother obligations got in the way to have it ready in time for this month's Planchet.
As I do every month, I look forward to seeing you at tonight's meeting. Bring someone
along to the meeting with you that may be interested in coins, paper money, andanything related to numismatics!

JimSukup,President

2019 Apollo 11 50t h An n iver sar y
Com m em or at ive Coin s By Paul Gilkes
Maine artist Gary Cooper was ecstatic when he learned from the U.S. Mint that his
design is the selection for the common obverse in the four-coin Apollo 11 50th
Anniversary Commemorative Coin Program.
All four coins ? a gold $5 coin, standard .900 fine silver dollar, a copper-nickel clad
half dollar, and a 5-ounce .999 fine silver dollar ? will be struck with a concave
obverse and convex reverse using the technology introduced for the National
Baseball Hall of Fame commemorative coins in 2014.
The four 2019 coins celebrate the first manned moon landing on July 20, 1969.
Cooper ?s design was selected from among 18 designs whittled down from 119
originally submitted by artists in a public design competition for the coin program.
The competition submissions were reviewed by a jury comprising three members
each from the Commission of Fine Arts and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.

Cooper ?s winning design, sculptured by U.S. Mint Sculptor-Engraver Joseph F. Menna,
will be paired with the common legislated reverse designed and sculptured by U.S.
Mint Sculptor-Engraver Phebe Hemphill.
4OCTOBER, 2018

Issue# 593

Cooper ?s and Hemphill?s designs were officially unveiled to the public Oct. 11 during
ceremonies held at the Smithsonian Institution?s National Air and Space Museum inWashington, D.C.
Participating in the unveiling were U.S. Mint Director David J. Ryder; Dr. Ellen Stofan,
director of the National Air & Space Museum; Gabe Sherman, deputy chief of staff atNASA; and Apollo 7 astronaut Walt Cunningham.
Cooper ?s winning design features the inscribed names of the space programs thatcombined represent the efforts of the United States space program leading up to thefirst manned Moon landing.
MERCURY, GEMINI and APOLLO separated by phases of the Moon, with a footprint on
the lunar surface dominating the central field. The selected design is a modified
version of Cooper ?s original design submission, with the original depicting inscriptions
in different locations.
Hemphill?s reverse rendering features a design mandated under provisions of Public
Law 114-282. The legislation also requires the reverse design to extend over the edgeof the coin to the obverse.
The reverse design features a representation of a close-up of the famous ?Buzz Aldrin
on the Moon? photograph taken July 20, 1969, that shows just the visor and part of
the helmet of astronaut Aldrin. The reflection in Aldrin?s helmet includes astronaut
Neil Armstrong, the United States flag, and the lunar module.
The 5-ounce silver dollar will be the first 5-ounce silver U.S. coin struck with a Proof
finish, reeded edge and curved format. It will only be issued in Proof.
The gold coin, .900 fine silver dollar and copper-nickel clad half dollar will be struck inboth Proof and Uncirculated versions.
The gold coin has a maximum production of 50,000 coins, the 1.5-inch silver dollar islimited to 400,000 coins and the copper-nickel clad half dollar is restricted to 750,000coins. The 5-ounce silver Proof is restricted to a production run of 100,000 coins.
The gold $5 coins will be struck at the West Point Mint and bear the W Mint mark.
The 1.5-inch silver dollar will be struck in Proof and Uncirculated at the Philadelphia
Mint and bear the P Mint mark.
5OCTOBER, 2018

The 5-ounce silver 3-inch dollar will also be struck at the Philadelphia Mint with the P
Mint mark.
The copper-nickel clad half dollar will be struck at the San Francisco Mint in Proof with
the S Mint mark and in Uncirculated finish at the Denver Mint with the D Mint mark.

Special set
The Mint will offer a limited-edition two-coin half dollar set restricted to a productlimit of 100,000 sets and a household ordering limit of five sets.
The sets will contain a Proof 2019-S Apollo 11 50th Anniversary clad half dollar andan Enhanced Reverse Proof 2019-S clad Kennedy half dollar. The Kennedy half dollar
will be struck at the San Francisco Mint with S Mint mark.
The Enhanced Reverse Proof coin will only be made available in the set and notoffered individually or as part of another packaging option, according to U.S. Mint
spokesman Michael White.
The set celebrates the connection between President John F. Kennedy and theAmerican space program. Kennedy famously appeared before a special joint sessionof Congress on May 25, 1961, to announce a goal of sending an American astronautto the moon and returning him safely before the end of the decade, which led to thefunding of the Apollo space program.

Su r ch ar ges
The purchase price of each commemorative coin will include a surcharge ? $35 foreach gold coin, $10 for each 1.5-inch silver dollar, $5 for each half dollar, and $50 foreach 5-ounce silver dollar.
The net surcharges, after the U.S. Mint has recouped all of its production andassociation costs, are to be divided between three recipients.
Fifty percent of the net surcharges are to be paid to the National Air & Space Museum
to finance construction and maintenance of its ?Destination Moon? exhibit andconstruction of a traveling version of the exhibit; and 25 percent each to theAstronauts Memorial Foundation and Astronauts Scholarship Foundation.

October 2018 Auction Lotsfor 10/15/2018
There is no list of auction lots this month. We will list them any month that they are submitted in time tomake it in the Planchet.

This message was sent by one of our regulars:"I will have a series (my ?Bag-O? series) of foreign from 1960s-80s, sorted by country and priced atface or 10 cents/ coin. Plus some more silver including circulated dollars."

PLEASE try to have correct change, or at least use
smaller bills, to pay for auction items that you win.
Especially troublesome are $50's and $100's whichquickly drain the change that is available. That change ispersonal money, and it will be greatly appreciated by thechanger and auction assistants to make giving changeeasier and more efficient.

Trivia:A ritual mask of a woman is shown on a 1994
Egyptian 5 Pound coin. Who was this woman,considered one of the greatest New Kingdom
pharaohs in Egyptian history?
Answer is at the bottom of the treasurer 'sreport.
