Author Allan Schein has just published an insightful study of American medallic artist Bela Lyon Pratt and the creation of the Bigelow-Pratt $2.50 and $5.00 gold coins. The coins were a radical departure from all previous U.S. coin designs in that the design was rendered in incuse instead of struck in bas relief. Allan stops by to talk about Pratt, the coins, and a particular example that sparked his interest in the series. This CoinWeek Podcast is brought to you by PCGS.

Q. David Bowers is the most prolific numismatic writer in the hobby's history - he is also the breaker of numismatic news this month - as he and Whitman have just announced the discovery of hubs and galvanos that were made up to strike Morgan dollars and Peace dollars... in 1964! Hobbyists were already familiar with the fact that the U.S. Mint struck Peace dollars in 1964. In fact, several hundred thousand were made at Denver but never released. Up until now, no one outside of the Mint was aware that the possibility existed that new silver dollars struck in 1964 might bear the classic George T. Morgan design.

Longtime collector Gene Gardner passed away earlier this month after a long illness.

Later the conversation turns towards the state of the rare coin market today and why you shouldn't count out younger generations of collectors as a number of 40 and 50 year old buyers are now putting together the major collections that we will be reading about in the years to come.

Pamela Thomas and Loreen Williamson are co-curators and owners of the Museum of UnCut Funk, the internet's first virtual museum dedicated to the preservation and celebration of 1970s black culture and all things funky. Drawing from Thomas' and Williamson's own personal collections, the Museum provides enthusiasts with a unique and exciting view of art and artifacts from this exciting period in American life. One of the museum's holdings is a collection of U.S. coins and medals depicting African-American subjects, such as Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, and Marian Anderson. In this episode of the CoinWeek Podcast, Charles Morgan talks with Pamela and Loreen about coins, the importance of African-American representation on money, the forthcoming Harriet Tubman Federal Reserve Note, the 2017 American Liberty High Relief gold coin, and who the two would like to see honored on a future coin or medal. It's an interesting and lively discussion that illustrates the vitality of numismatics in American life and how we are living in historic times. This CoinWeek Podcast is brought to you by PCGS.

Few in the coin industry have been as successful in bringing mainstream attention to numismatics as has Donn Pearlman, former ANA Governor, and 2015 Farran Zerbe Award winner. Donn is the press agent for PNG, Heritage Auctions, the ANA, and a number of other high profile industry clients. He has also been at the center of a number of the hobby's headlining stories for the decades. In this episode of the CoinWeek Podcast, Charles asks Donn about his involvement in the recovery of the Walton 1913 nickel, seeks Donn's opinion about the state of numismatic journalism, and ponders whether structural changes to the industry that took place decades ago have led to the bifurcated coin market that we see today.
