Coin Set Jefferson
Quarter Eagles
The gold quarter eagle, value $2.50 face worth, was licensed by the Mint Act of April 2, 1792, though the first coins of this denomination didn’t seem until 1796. In a bit of an odd twist, nowhere on the coin is the face worth denoted.
The first gold quarter eagle was the Capped Bust to Proper sort of 1796-1807. The obverse reveals Liberty carrying a head turban trendy with ladies of the late 18th century. For a very long time, the turban was incorrectly thought by many to be a liberty cap derived from ancient Rome, as was the case with different United States coinage. Research later uncovered the 1825 writings of Mint Director Samuel Moore, who verified the true nature of Liberty’s head attire. For that reason, numismatists also call this the Turban Head type. An instance is seen instantly below.
Less than 20,000 Turban Head Quarter Eagles had been minted. Tensions between the U.S. and Europe throughout the 1790s and early 1800s drove European gold costs higher. Bullion dealers exploited this example by acquiring American gold coinage in change for comparatively cheap Mexican silver and exporting it to abroad melting pots at a considerable profit. The danger of quick doom drastically curtailed production of all U.S. gold coins during the earliest years under the Constitution.
The Mint hired John Reich as Assistant Engraver in 1807. Reich was a highly reputed German die sinker who arrived in the United States as an indentured servant in 1801. After six years of failing to safe everlasting employment on the Mint because of inner politics (apparently, no one wished to offend the sensibilities of Chief Engraver Robert Scot), Reich began planning to return to Germany. Through the intervention of President Thomas Jefferson, the assistant’s place was created for Reich to retain his talent.
Reich instantly got down to upgrade the looks of United States coinage, together with a brand new gold quarter eagle, launched in 1808. Reich depicted Miss Liberty dealing with left, sporting a mobcap adorned with the word LIBERTY. The Capped Bust to Left, sometimes often known as the Capped Draped kind, featured a considerably life like eagle extending its wings sitting atop an olive branch, while holding arrows suggesting pressure, if crucial, to defend itself. Reich’s eagle reverse would stay a fixture on U.S. coinage for the following a hundred years.
The Capped Bust to Left Quarter Eagle was in manufacturing for the yr 1808 only. A single set of 1808 dies had been made, and numismatists theorize it broke after solely 2710 pieces have been made. Thereafter, quarter eagle gold coinage was suspended due to the continued risk posed by worldwide bullion dealers.
Quarter eagle production resumed in 1821. Though gold coinage still had bother remaining in circulation due to its excessive intrinsic metal worth, several banks deposited gold bullion from Mexico and requested quarter eagles in return under the Mint’s “Free Coinage” policy. Reich resigned from the Mint in 1817 in disgust over his stagnated wage of $50/month, so the responsibility of resurrecting the quarter eagle fell to Robert Scot.
Scot’s Capped Head to Left kind was nothing greater than a barely modified version of Reich’s 1808 design. At age seventy seven and with failing eyesight, Scot was probably lower than the duty of originating a new design from scratch. Probably the most noticeable difference was a 1.5 mm (.059 inches) lower in diameter. The burden remained consistent, so the 1821 quarter eagle version was thicker than its predecessors. In 1829, the diameter was decreased by one other .three mm. The Capped Head to Left was minted in small numbers almost yearly until 1834, however never gained a foothold in American society because its gold content material was price greater than its face worth, making it topic to exportation and melting.

Jefferson’s Demons $13.99 “I have often wondered for what good end the sensations of Grief could be intended.” — Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson suffered during his life from periodic bouts of dejection and despair, shadowed intervals during which he was full of “gloomy forebodings” about what lay ahead. Not long before he composed the Declaration of Independence, the young Jefferson lay for six weeks in idleness and ill health at Monticello, paralyzed by a mysterious “malady.” Similar lapses were to recur during anxious periods in his life, often accompanied by violent headaches. In Jefferson’s Demons , Michael Knox Beran illuminates an optimistic man’s darker side — Jefferson as we have rarely seen him before. The worst of these moments came after his wife died in 1782. But two years later, after being dispatched to Europe, Jefferson recovered nerve and spirit in the salons of Paris, where he fell in love with a beautiful young artist, Maria Cosway. When their affair ended, Jefferson’s health again broke down. He set out for the palms and temples of southern Europe, and though he did not know where the therapeutic journey would take him or where it would end, his encounter with the old civilizations of the Mediterranean was transformative. The Greeks and Romans taught him that a man could make productive use of his demons. Jefferson’s immersion in the mystic truths of the Old World gave him insights into mysteries of life and art that Enlightenment philosophy had failed to supply. Beran skillfully shows how Jefferson drew on the esoteric lore he encountered to transform anxiety into action. On his return to America, Jefferson entered the most productive period of his life: He created a new political party, was elected president, and doubled the size of the country. His private labors were no less momentous…among them, the artistry of Monticello and the University of Virginia. Jefferson’s Demons is an elegantly composed account of the strangeness and originality of one Founder’s genius. Michael Knox Beran uncovers the maps Jefferson used to find his way out of dejection and to forge a new democratic culture for America. Here is a Jefferson who, with all his failings, remains one of his country’s greatest teachers and prophets. |

Madison and Jefferson $13.69 A WATERSHED ACCOUNT OF THE MOST IMPORTANT POLITICAL FRIENDSHIP IN AMERICAN HISTORY In Madison and Jefferson , esteemed historians Andrew Burstein and Nancy Isenberg join forces to reveal the crucial partnership of two extraordinary founders, creating a superb dual biography that is a thrilling and unprecedented account of early America. The third and fourth presidents have long been considered proper and noble gentlemen, with Thomas Jefferson’s genius overshadowing James Madison’s judgment and common sense. But in this revelatory book, both leaders are seen as men of their times, ruthless and hardboiled operatives in a gritty world of primal politics where they struggled for supremacy for more than fifty years. In most histories, the elder figure, Jefferson, looms larger. Yet Madison is privileged in this book’s title because, as Burstein and Isenberg reveal, he was the senior partner at key moments in the formation of the two-party system. It was Madison who did the most to initiate George Washington’s presidency while Jefferson was in France in the role of diplomat. So often described as shy, the Madison of this account is quite assertive. Yet he regularly escapes bad press, while Jefferson’s daring pen earns him a nearly constant barrage of partisan attacks. In Madison and Jefferson we see the two as privileged young men in a land marked by tribal identities rather than a united national personality. They were raised to always ask first: "How will this play in Virginia?" Burstein and Isenberg powerfully capture Madison’s secret canny role-he acted in effect as a campaign manager-in Jefferson’s career. In riveting detail, the authors chart the courses of two very different presidencies: Jefferson’s driven by force of personality, Madison’s sustained by a militancy that history has been reluctant to ascribe to him. The aggressive expansionism of the presidents has long been underplayed, but it’s noteworthy that even after the Louisiana Purchase more than doubled U.S. territory, the pair contrived to purchase Cuba and, for years, looked for ways to conquer Canada. In these and other issues, what they said in private and wrote anonymously was often more influential than what they signed their names to. Supported by a wealth of original sources-newspapers, letters, diaries, pamphlets-Madison and Jefferson is a stunning new look at a remarkable duo who arguably did more than all the others in their generation to set the course of American political development. It untangles a rich legacy, explaining how history made Jefferson into a national icon, leaving Madison a relative unknown. It tells nasty truths about the conduct of politics when America was young and reintroduces us to colorful personalities, once famous and now obscure, who influenced and were influenced by the two revolutionary actors around whom this story turns. As an intense narrative of high-stakes competition, Madison and Jefferson exposes the beating heart of a rowdy r |
