ToSS-UP. Abe Kosoff would never
flip a coin - it might fall, dent and
devaluate a couple of hundred dol
lars. His coins are handled with care
and sold for anywhere up to $1,000.
Kosoff, at 80, has already been in
the coin-collecting business for over
half his life. His Numismatic Gallery
in New York abounds in rare coins
from all over the world. There are
gold pieces minted in '49. silver
bracelet" money from Burma, jade
money from Persia, a Swedish coin
that's worth eight dollars and weighs
As pounds, a two-pound copper coin
from the Belgian Congo especially
designed for wife-buying.
TWO BITS. In the early days of the
U. S., Spanish dollars were used ex-
tensively, were often sliced pie-fash-
ion into eight parts, or bits. Later,
they were sheared into quarters,
and hence the expression, two bits.
Another American coin with an
amusing history is the 1888 nickel.
The Government mint neglected to
stamp the word cents" on the tail of
the coin. The nickels were withdrawn
from circulation when the mint got
wind of the fact that American sail
ors were having them gold plated and
passing them off in foreign ports as
gold pieces. However, enough of these
Evening star., 1945-09-09

coins remained in circulation to keep
them from being rarities.
When Abe kosoff falls heir to an
old coin he contacts collectors and
dealers all over the country, goes
through mint records and follows
every clue to determine how rare the
coin is. Recently he discovered that
there were only five 1894 San Fran
cisco proof dimes in existence. He
sold one for $3.50.
There's no such thing as lemon
in this business" Kosoff says, IF
you hang on to a coin long enough,
sooner or later someone is bound to
turn up who wants it.

thing" said one wife It's kindness that
makes him listen with interest to my
troubles over getting shoes for the baby
and meat for dinner. He doesn't have to
help with the dishes But he does - be-
cause he knows that I'm tired from house
work, shopping and caring for the baby"
Another said, He has helped me grow
up mentally and spiritually, exchanging
patience for my impatience, being calm
and strong when the going gets rough.
''AND he cares about other peoples hap
piness. These are powerful virtues - he
has made me better person for having
lived with him these ten years"

New Yorker said. My husband and
are real partners. He asks my advice.
respects my opinions and makes me feel
as if l accomplish much more than just
the household chores"
These are the men who slugged their way
across island after island in the Pacific
- men of whom their wives say: He can
battle the baby, iron shirt, or command
a motor corps" -. Sometimes I'm
frightened at the way my husband de-
pends on me, yet I'd be miserable if he
didn't" =. "Of course we're tolerant -
but how we like to argue! He's a reporter,
and I'm laboratory techniCian. We work
in two different worlds, but it makes our
home life even more interesting" -.
lHIs is the strength of our men. Ameri-
can wives and all of us - will never
forget it. These are the soft" men who
crushed the Nazi supermen. With set
jaws, and under no illusions, they've re-
lentlessly finished the Pacific job. The sons
of democratic America kept showing US
every day that they could take it in their
stride And they will build from their reso-
luton and their gentleness the peace and
security for which they have fought.
The men who can score a victory over
both the diaper pin and the totalitarian
supermen know that gentleness and
strength are two sides of the same coin
- the free change of democracy.
They don't have to strut. They don't
have to save face. They can afford to be
gentle because they are strong.
