June 19, 2017 - Minutes of the Indianapolis Coin Club Meeting
Not available at time of publication.

Henry ClayHenry Clay, Sr. (April 12, 1777 – June 29, 1852) was an American lawyer andplanter, politician, and skilled orator who represented Kentucky in both the United States Senate and House of Representatives. He served three nonconsecutive terms as Speaker of the House of Representatives and served as Secretary of State under President John Quincy Adams from 1825 to 1829. Clay ran
for the presidency in 1824, 1832 and 1844, while also seeking the Whig Party
nomination in 1840 and 1848. He never successfully ran for president.

This is a campaign medal for his lastunsuccessful bid. The obverse features a portrait of Clay with the datebelow. The reverse has a representation of industry and sailing. This
medal is graded NGC MS 62. This
piece comes from the famous Dr.
James McClure Collection.

Clay was a dominant figure in both the First and Second Party systems. As a leading war hawk in 1812, he favored war with Britain and played a significant role inleading the nation into the War of 1812. In 1824 he ran for president and lost,
but maneuvered House voting in favor of John Quincy Adams, who appointed
him as Secretary of State. Opposing candidate Andrew Jackson denounced theactions of Clay and Adams as part of a "corrupt bargain." Clay ran for president
again, and lost the general election in 1832, as the candidate of the National Republican Party, and in 1844 as the candidate of the Whig Party.
(Continued on page 5)

He was a strong proponent of the American System, fighting for an increase intariffs to foster industry in the United States, the use of federal funding to build
and maintain infrastructure, and a strong national bank. He opposed the annexation of Texas and "Manifest Destiny" policy of Democrats, fearing it would inject
the slavery issue into politics. This cost him votes in the close presidential election of 1844. Clay later opposed the Mexican-American War.
Known as "The Great Compromiser", Clay brokered important agreements during the Nullification Crisis and on the slavery issue. As part of the "Great Triumvirate" or "Immortal Trio," along with his colleagues Daniel Webster and John C.
Calhoun, he was instrumental in formulating the Missouri Compromise of 1820,
the Compromise Tariff of 1833, and the Compromise of 1850 to ease sectionaltensions. He was viewed as the primary representative of Western interests inthis group, and was given the names "Henry of the West" and "The WesternStar." As a plantation owner, Clay held slaves during his lifetime, but freed themin his will.
Abraham Lincoln, the Whig leader in Illinois, was a great admirer of Clay, saying
he was "my ideal of a great man." Lincoln wholeheartedly supported Clay's economic programs. In 1957, a Senate Committee selected Clay as one of the fivegreatest U.S. Senators, along with Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, Robert La
Follette, and Robert A. Taft.

The prize each month will be a 90% silver U.S. Half Dollar (or equivalent or greater 90% silver content coin) The I.C.C. Board members and officers as well as

Please keep this in mind each month; regardless of who is giving the monthly program and/or the topic, we owe it to that person and themembership to remain quiet and pay attention during the program.

The same rules should apply to our monthly auctions; please remain quiet and pay attention.
Thank you.
