So, what did you think about the latest 2015 February issue of The Silver Bugle? I know this will be a learning process for both the new editor, (Carrie) the rest of the officers, and me as the club moves forward with its publications. With that being said, I think Carrie and all of the con¬ tributors to the Bugle should be congratulated on doing such a great job for turning out such a fine publication. I loved that Ken Potter stepped up and addressed one of the things I had always wondered about, and that was the inclusion of the Kirk Disney Collection and why was it in Archie's books. I do know that when I collected So-Called Dollars that the original authors (Hibler and Kaplan of H & K fame) of that area of exonumia included what they had in their own collections and some¬ times ignored other pieces they didn’t have. I would appreciate any com¬ ments and/or suggestions you, the member, might have in continuing to improve the Bugle. This first issue of 2015 met with a few hold-ups as the publisher didn’t have as much of the paper stock in the color de¬ sired to get the Bugle out as early in February as the club would have liked. Hopefully, this issue has been addressee! and will not be a problem in the future. Also, I thought having the pictures of the club officers was a nice touch that Carrie added to the Bugle. I hope some of you were not too shocked to see what I really looked like. (It was nice of Carrie to photo-shop my “Most Wanted” photo into something normal looking. Also, adding the hair was a nice touch! Thank you, Carrie!)

Next topic is old habits die hard! How many years have we been conditioned to sending all of our correspondence whether it was for a puzzle solution to the word search, a dues payment, a drawing for the new medal design contest, the writing contest, the club’s store to pur¬ chase medals from it, or any of the many other things that Nancy so often took care of getting done for the cIud? Not that any of us are get¬ ting older, it’s just that it had become so engrained that all correspon¬ dence HAD to be addressed to IASAC, P.O. Box 28415, Seattle, WA 98118. Poor Joe M.’s address in Tatamy, PA was tough enough to add to my list of addresses to remember and send things to other than the Seattle address. NOW all club members must check where their corre¬ spondence should be sent because of the new board and editor. All ar¬ ticles and DUES PAYMENTS must go to IASAC, P.O. Box 5202, Lakeland, FL 33807-5202. This will help in having your check being de¬ posited in a timely manner for dues and advertisement payments. It took two women to get this old guy to figure out that I should stay out of their way so the club can run more smoothly and more efficiently without my micro-managing everything.

Another thing that really touched me was by having my address as the dues renewal address was that for the first time I nacf the pleasure of reading many of the personal notes that some of you include with your payments. They were always a joy to read. I know so many of fhe members care deeply about the well-being of the club and want it to continue on with the success that it has had throughout its 30 year history. Thank you so much for your support, both moral and financial.

I was impressed with how many members sent payments for multiple years and are paid up 2-3 years in advance. THANK YOU! I can see why Nancy ana Carrie have so much extra to mention when they talk about notes and what’s in the mailbag.

The club still hasn’t resolved how to send payments via inter¬ net/PayPal to pay for dues, advertisements, and new memberships. Hopefully, that can be addressed and a solution found before the end of this year. Also, PLEASE let me know if you’re interested or at least willing to serve as an officer/trustee for tne club so we can get the slate of officers listed ASAP in the Bugle.

Once again, I hate to type, so if you want to TALK feel free to give me a call and we can address your concerns. I do respond to emails, it’s just that my wife has found a new game on-line and has wrested the computer from me, and I don't get to sit there and bid on items that are offered on eBay like I used to do. Do you think she's figured out that’s where all of the money for her kitchen remodeling has went. Boy, I hope not!

Until next time, keep collecting what you want and can afford!

HOW I GET MY IDEAS!

Part two

The Process of putting a bar in production.

The first step in making a Silver Art Bar is to get some idea or picture in your mind what you want it to look like or say. Once you have done this you need to make a drawing and send it to the mint of your choice. I have always used SilverTowne mint for all of my bars. Other mints may work a little different. One other mint I talked to would do the artwork as they saw it and not as I wanted it and wanted me to sign papers that they owned the artwork. That did not fly with me so I have never used them.

Next the mint will send a rendering of your art work back with a life size and a larger drawing to show what it will look like. If you like what you are looking at you approve it and send it back. If not you make changes and send them back. Once you both agree on the art work the mint will make a soft metal die, they will then make a soft lead bar for your approval. Up to this point you can make changes.

After you approve lead bar they will harden the die for production. With the hard die you can have all kind of metal bars made. Sil¬ verTowne makes silver, brass, bronze, copper, nickel-silver and other type of bars. You must have a obverse die, but you can do the reverse with a die or leave it blank. On all precious metals they must show metal type and weight. You can put serial numbers on them if you want and you can have them enameled for color. If you are going to enamel a bar you must tell them up front, be¬ cause it takes a different cut on the die for enamel. Enameled bars need a deeper relief on the areas to be enameled to hold the paint. The paint is applied one color at a time and baked each time.

Next: part three will be what does it cost to do all of this.

VP’s Outlook

So I am still unable to navigate the shows like I once used to. The doctors say I will be able to do just that sometime in the future.

I did go to two shows here in Florida since the last Bugle. I was able to find a few “Classic Bars/Rounds” Some of the ones I found were from the Hamilton Mint “America the Beautiful.” Including “Kentucky Derby”, "Baseball”, and “Lobsterman”. Also I found a “Ceeco” enamalled Christmas Bar. Not much, but at least there were a few.

Anyone out there wanting to sell your old bars or rounds, remem¬ ber each member gets a free 25 word classified ad every year. Submit yours today for the next Bugle. Form for your free ad is on page 22. Just fill it out and send it to Carrie, our Bugle editor.

What do you, the membership think about cutting back the Bugle from 6 issues per year to only 4 issues per year. This would save the club some money, plus we are having trouble getting articles for all 6 issues. I would like to see some educatioal/informative articles in the Bugle. Anyone out there that likes to write, please send us some new material. Even if it’s about a funny story about collecting art silver. Anything you would like to share with the membership of IASAC would be great.

I hope to see a lot of you in North Carolina at our annual meeting in October. This would be a great opportunity to see a different part of the country and to meet fellow collectors.

Have a Happy Easter and I’m hoping to find that bar I’ve never seen before. I’m sure there are still a few out there somewhere!

tfappy hunting!

Irish jokes & Easter jokes for the funny bone....

(By (Randy Rush

Pat and Mick landed themselves a job at a sawmill. Just before morning tea Pat yelled: "Mick! I lost me finger!"

"Have you now?" says Mick. ''And how did you do it?"

"I just touched this big spinning thing here like thi...

Darn! There goes another one?’

Two Irishmen met and one said to the other, “Have ye seen Mulligan lately, Pat?” Pat said, “Well, I have and I haven’t.”

His friend asked, “well what d’ye mean by that?”

Pat said, “It’s like this, y'see...l saw a chap who I thought was Mulligan, and he saw a chap that he thought was me. And when we got up to one another... it was neither of us.”

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were standing looking at a prize cow in a field. The Englishman says “Look at that fine English cow. The Irish¬ man disagreed, saying “No, it's an Irish cow.” The Scotsman thought for a mo¬ ment ana then clinched the argument. “No, it's a Scottish cow - it’s got bagpipes underneath.

There’s an Englishman, Irishman and a Scotsman. They're being chased by a policeman. They see this old warehouse so they run in. Inside there are 3 empty sacks on the floor. They each jump in a sack. In comes the copper and see's these three bundles on the floor. Goes up to the first one and kicks it. The Englishman shout out, “Woof Woof", and the copper thinking it's just an old dog leaves it and kicks the second sack. The Scotsman yells out, “Me-ow me-ow , he leaves this one as well thinking its just an old cat He walks over to the last sack and kicks it, and the Irishman yells out.. “Potatoes Potatoes..!””

An Englishman, Scotsman and an Irishman are all stranded on an island. They’ve been there for years, when one day the Englishman finds a lamp buried in the sand. He starts to polish it and out pops a genie.

Oh thank you master says the genie, I will grant you all one wish! The English¬ man says... Oh how I’d love tote at Lords sipping a Gin and Tonic, watching the cricket. Big flash, cloud of smoke and he’s gone! The Scotsman says... see you Jimmy, I wish I was at Hampden Park with a few mates watching the foot¬ ball. Big flash, cloud of smoke and he’s gone! The Irishman says “Bejesus it’s gonna be awful lonely here without them, can you bring them back"????

Quotes from fancy's MaiCSafl & More .

We’ve had a couple of crazy, busy months since I last wrote. We celebrated Chinese New Year in style and a milestone birthday in Disneyland the week after that. Now it's back to reality... pulling weeds and doing laundry. Soon we’ll have the return of baseball. I’m listening to a spring training game as I write this. Can hardly wait for Opening Day!

I forgot to include some interesting correspondence from Larry Armstrong in the last Bugle. He whetted my appetite for more reading with some fascinating tidbits and I hope he’ll send more when he has time.

Larry says, “I met and interviewed nearly 200 A-bomb survivors. I’m 60 years old ; I was in Hiroshima for the 25th Anniversary when I was 1 6. My best friend’s mom was a survivor and lost her 14 year-old sister that day.

Met Kiyoshi Tanimoto in Hiroshima at that time; one of six survivors from John Hersey’s book Hiroshima. I’m still close with Tanimoto ’s family 44 years later! ! That was the reason for so many trips to Hiroshima (6) and Nagasaki."!

Larry, please send more!

Stephen Mink emailed to say, “Just received the latest issue of the Silver Bugle and found your column regarding silver art bars very interesting. You mention the Greensboro Convention. Could you please tell me when that convention is being held. Interestingly, we have been cataloging my father’s inventory of silver art bars that dates back to 1986 and prior. We have cataloged over 2700 bars to date and we still have at least that many more to catalog. This is a very slow, time-consuming project."

Stephen's dad George was a charter member of the club. When Stephen re¬ joined after his dad’s death, he was given the same membership # in IASAC !

My thanks to Ken Klein for his latest donation to the Mini Auction, which you’ll find on another page in this issue. Check it out and get your bid in by May 5!! Thanks also to Carlton Dodge who has submitted another Brain Teaser puzzle for your enjoyment. He & his wife are active in Vocal Music, and this is the in¬ centive for the word search.

Carlton was worried that we hadn't received any entries in our annual design contest, so he sent one just recently. He wrote, “If you don’t get any other bar designs - here is one. Thoughts’; maybe any talent I have is better served on the puzzles instead of designing art bars.”

Robert Bongiovanni was willing to come to the rescue too!

Thanks, guys

My last column was written in early January, well before the February 1 entry deadline and before you received the Bugle. Fortunately, we received enough entries to make a good choice on this year’s design. Read on for more on this subject!

Quotes from ‘fancy’s Maifoag &? More .

(continued from page 10)

Lynnae Clark sent this message by snail mail, with her Brain Teaser entry: “I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how excited I was to win the one gram silver ingot auction recently. My bid price wasn’t submitted to nec¬ essarily win the silver ingot as much as it was to support the club & the internal fundraiser by other members. When I received my one gram ingot I was thrilled! I had never paid much attention to the smaller silver ingots & now I had one. It was so darned cute! I went on eBay & bid on several more sets, usually in quantities of 10 or 20. If the auction offered free shipping it wasn’t such a bad deal. Thanks for bringing a whole new aspect of silver collecting to me.”

Dave Davenport just celebrated his 90th birthday and is interested in selling several sets of bars. Unfortunately, his computer is ‘down’ right now. Maybe he'll be back up & running by the next issue so we can get an advertisement in for him. Stay tuned!

Michael Turrini sent news of the Second Annual Northern California Numismatic Association (NCNA) Seminar on Saturday, September 26, 2015 at the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum. The one-day event's theme is ‘Tales From The Vaults,' and five presenters have been confirmed. Information and updates can be learned at www.solanocoinclub.com or at EMPERORI@juno.com.!

‘Ancfto tfie &f More part .....

I’m pleased to announce that we have a design for the 2015 Greensboro ingot. And, for the first time in many years, we have co-designers as winners. Parts of each design were used to create the new bar, celebrating the club's 30th anniversary.

Sandi Belcher submitted a design featuring the Cape Lookout Lighthouse at Cape Lookout National Seashore in North Carolina. The other half of the design features Nancy Yee's entry which focused on all the different cities the club has visited over the years. The compilation of the two designs has been sent to Sil- verTowne, so we are unable to present final artwork to you at this time. Look for an order form in the June issue of The Silver Bugle.

Many thanks as well to Len Kruithof and Donna Leiber for their entries. Len’s featured an outline of the North Carolina state map, with state bird and flower. Donna's design focused on the 55th anniversary of the sit-ins at the lunch counter at Woolworth’s in Greensboro, and the 5th anniversary of the Interna¬ tional Civil Rights Center and Museum.

It's great hearing from you. You can reach me at iasacnancy@comcast.net or write me at PO. Box 28415, Seattle WA 98118.

‘MOWE'MfAli:

A few notes included with dues were from Mike and Lisa DeBoer. Mike has had two back surgeries since October and Lisa tore her rotator cuff due to snow mishap. He sent his dues to Joe and blamed it on all those drugs he’s been on due to his back. He said he was writing the note while the snow is blowing and icing. He is hoping to move to Florida one of these days.

Bill Doty sent an email stating that when people ask him how old he is, “I say I am so old that I hide my own Easter Eggs!" He is also interested in composing an IASAC Book of unlisted bars and would like anyone interested in helping with this endeavor to contact him via email. Maybe set up a group email where they can share ideas. He has some ideas on how to accomplish this. williamdoty@centu- rylink.net.

Delbert “Buddy” Bryant sent this to all the club members: Received my copy of the "Bugle" Monday, 2-23-15, Really the best issue ever! All connected with this issue-be PROUD! I read each copy cover to cover as soon as I get it. I have been a member since the meeting here in Dallas, several years ago. Still I will confess, not a very “active” member, but I have had contact with several members over the years; Nancy Yee, Jim Best, Randy Rush and of course, “El President,” Doug Jennings. At this time I will thank Doug for his help in a subject that has noth¬ ing to do with Silver Art Bars... POETRY. Ask him anything you want to know - you will get an answer. I am 89 years young, have had a wonderful life with few regrets. My heirs have instructions as to my collections and what to do with them. Still in excellent health, so who knows - the century mark is only 101/2 years away. Due to business location and other factors I’ve never been to any other meeting since Dallas. I consider this my loss. Good luck to all of you. Hope you find that one bar (or round) that you just have to have.

Thanks to everyone who has sent their dues in for 2015.

Your dues were due January 1

Jesus Clears the Temple SD Bullion

Each stunning Jesus Clears the Temple bar contains 10 troy oz of .999 pure silver.

The most historic attack in history against the banking elite, was when Jesus Christ cleared the temple. This was also the only time that the Prince of Peace became enraged, as the moneychangers took advantage of the poor and faithful. Jesus sought to whip the scheming moneychangers out of his Father’s Temple. This pow¬ erful act gives inspiration many generations later to drive out the moneychangers of our time and age.

The Silver Shield Jesus Clear the Temple 10 ounce silver bullion strike is an affordable and powerful way to stack the metal the money¬ changers of our age fear the most. The obverse is sculpted by Heidi Wastweet and displays Jesus whip¬ ping the money changers out of the temple. The reverse is a unique Sil¬ ver Shield design highlighting the solution found in focusing our en¬ ergy on things that we can control like real friends, real skills and real tangible wealth, like silver.
