Jeff and Chris talk to Jack Young, a major figure in the fight against counterfeit rare coins at the Early American Coppers (EAC) convention, dovetailing well with the top news story about the Mint’s efforts to make U.S. bullion harder to counterfeit. A shipwreck coin and a very unusual 1898 Indian Head Cent make an appearance, as do the American Legion commemorative coins… again.

Chris and Jeff talk with Rob Oberth and Aaron Berk of Roundtable Trading about their initiative, the Great American Coin Hunt (https://www.facebook.com/GreatAmericanCoinHunt/). During National Coin Week, hundreds of participating coin dealers around the country will be putting classic American circulating coinage back into American pockets and tills in the hope of generating public interest in coins and coin collecting. An occasional lucky spender will find a hologrammed coin in their change, which can be turned into participating dealers for a key-date coin worth up to $100!
