Coin book publishers are making space in their 1972 editions for it. Statisticians are working overtime compiling whateverstatisticians compile relative to minting records, and coin accessory manufacturers are busy turning out holders and protective devices for what has to be the numismatic event of the decade—issuance of the Eisenhowerdollar. Congress hasn't passed the bill yet butit will. It is just a matterof getting all members of the committee to nod their heads once they have reconciled their differences on the One Bank Holding Company bill to which the Eisenhower dollar legislation is attached. The bill provides for the issuance of 150 million 40 r cent silver and an unimi number of cuproclad silverless Eisenhower dollars. This legislation also provides for the removal of all silver from the current Kennedy half-dollar. The Bureau of the Mint has devised an equitable arrangement whereby everyone will have an opportunity to buy at least one silver specimen, but the director warns that any orders received prior to the announced ordering date will be returned to the sender. One of the problems with gold and silver coins is their inherent ability to tarnish in spite of precautions taken to avoid any discoloration. With this dollar being the last of our prestige coinage, the exEe are working doubly to find ways of improving various antitarnish processes. To date none will offer an absolute guarantee but some of the new holders being readied for the Eisenhower doliar show a vast improvement over conventional TS. One of these is the “Show Off,” a 3%-inch-square case completely free of mounting screws and fasteners normally associated with coin holders. It is uf clear, inert plastic with the buyer’s choice of colored center panels in either clear, deep wine red or “ue with the name of coin imprinted below the receiving hole. Once the coin has been enclosed it is fairly airtight, but the case can be opened without damage. The Show Off is not sold on the premise that it is tarnishroof but the Wadsworth sting Laborator’xs found it to be highly resistant to all atmospheric intrusions.
