Now you can wear the OMEGA rOK A LIFETIME OF PROUD POSSESSION same watch the ASTRONAUTS wore on the moon. Mexico City price and NO tax. Oldest goldsmith on the border place, had become an important one to millions of chess fans all over the world. But enough of this. Let's see how he answered some of my questions: "The Chess Olympics is always a great holiday, but it is high time that the FIDE changes some of its rules for the semi-final competition.

Most people know most of the teams that will make the finals, so why waste time?" asked Spassky. "Congratulations on winning the Chess Olympics for the tenth time," I said. "Do you think your team was as good as in previous years?" "Yes. We did not try too hard in the preliminaries because all we wanted was to qualify. In the finals, we found that most teams we met were just as old and maybe as tired as we were.

There's no question in my mind that all teams need new blood, including our own. Our team was the oldest, by the way. Had we put in Bot-vinnik or Keres, I feel we would have really been weaker. Tal is not the Tal of yore. He has lost much of his spark since his sickness, and it will take a while before he will be well enough to play on an Olympic team." "You know that Tal and Fischer have spurred interest in the game.

Who do you think is the greater?" "Tal did most to spur the imagination of the youth, but it is great to have a figure like Fischer nowaday said Boris. "An old question, Boris, but who do you believe is your greatest threat?" "Naturally it is Fischer but, unfortunately, he does not want to go through the Interzonal so that he can play me. He says that he won't play in the Interzonal unless the rules governing the matches that follow are changed in certain ways. He naturally would like to play me a match outside the domination of the FIDE, which is very hard for me to agree to." "How about Petrosian winning the right to play you for the third time for the world title?" "It would be an interesting match, but I still believe Fischer will win that right if he participates." "When do you intend to prepare for your next world match?" Spassky smiled: game I play is a preparation for my next match." "What do you think of Fischer's wins in Zagreb and Buenos Aires? He also feels he can win against you in a match." Spassky's face became more serious. "It shows that er, being a genius, works hard.

But about beatng me, that is a matter of opinion. I would, if I played a match with him, worry more about how I should prepare for the match than about its outcome." Space doesn't permit us to print the Fischer-Spassky game this week, but we plan to next. In the meantime, here is a bolt out oft he blue, from the Olympics at Siegen. are $1 Federal Reserve Notes, issued by each of the 12 Federal Reserve Districts. Each district can be easily identified because the letter identifying it appears both in the seal and at the beginning of the serial number.

For example, the first district, Boston uses an the second district, New York, uses a the third district, Philadelphia uses a etc. Although none of the notes are scarce, collectors do pay a premium of about $4 per set, rather than take the time and effort to locate some one in another district and make an exchange of notes. The premium runs more if the collector desires a set of "star" notes. I have two English gold coins, both dated 1910. They are identical except for their size.

What are they? FJ I can understand your confusion. Most coins today have their value stamped on the coin. As far as I can recall, the only time this was done in England was during the Com-monwealth, under Oliver Cromwell. Because you gave me the date, 1910, I know that your two pieces must be a half sovereign and a sovereign. The former is about the size of the U.S.

piece and the latter about the size of the U.S. five-cent piece. England did mint gold two and five pound coins, but not as "trade" coins. That is, most were issued in limited numbers at a time when some event was being commemorated in English history. I have been given a most unusual coin.

It is 25 centavos and has "BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DEL PERV" on one side. It is dated 1563 1965. PW The coin is one of Peru. Numismatists must come to expect the may sometimes be written following a practice started with the ancient Romans. To honor the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Mint at Lima, Peru struck a 5, 10 and 25 centavos and a y2 and 1 sol piece in brass, a 20 soles piece in silver and 40 and 100 soles pieces in gold.

All picture a replica of the first type of coin struck at the Lima Mint, an eight reales coin showing the "Pillars of Hercules," quite similar to those found on early Mexican "pieces of eight." The brass coins are common, the silver is scarce, and, of course, the gold can not be imported into the U.S.A. Does coin collecting sound interesting?

Telephone Juarez 2-01-16 (One block east of the Cathedral) By LEON LINDHEIM Did you know that you can make an excellent collection of medals relating to "Man In Collecting medals is as much a part of numismatics as is the collecting of coins.

We can study history, or historical events, through the study of medals just as we do through a nation's coinage. Since we are present at the birth of the space program, Project Apollo Medal the medals relating to this can still be acquired at nominal prices. Just as Charles A. Lindbergh's historic flight from New York to Paris in May, 1927, generated many medals all over the globe, so it is with medals honoring our space heroes. I have seen reproductions of medals honoring Gris-som.

White and Chaffee struck in Italy and medals honoring Borman, Anders and Lovell struck in Austria and in West Germany, There are many more honoring Project Mercury, Project Gemini and Project Apollo. Admittedly, the medals were struck to generate a profit, but then, so were most proof sets. My point is, if this branch of numismatics interests you, get in on the ground floor, before the prices go as high as the projectiles. Did the Denver Mint strike coins in 19S5? I can't find any in circulation. CB All coin denominations were struck at the Denver Mint in 1965.

The reason that you can not identify them is that they carry no mint mark. The "Coinage Act of 1965," which also provided for the minting of "clad" coins and specifically forbade the minting of silver dollars, also had a provision that said: "No mint marks may be inscribed on any coin during the five-year period beginning on the date of enactment of the Coinage Act of 1965." The Act was approved July 23, 1965, prior to the striking of any coins at the Denver Mint dated 1965. The section of the Act relating to mint mark was rescinded in 1967, and mint marks again appeared in 1968. Is a set of one dollar bills, A-L, all Series 1963, worth any more than face value? DE What "DE" is referring to White to play and mate in two moves. Solution below.

AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW There was one game which will be part of chess history, the game Spassky played against Robert Fischer at the Chess Olympics in Siegen, Germany. Nothing else seemed to exist that day. Spas-sky won the game and afterwards analyzed it for about ten minutes for the public in the "demonstration room. Bobby Fischer was a sad man. They could not get him to say anything.

Afterwards I talked to Spas-sky on his way to the hotel and he told me that one game does not mean much, although this particular game, before it took Old-Time Ca nnons Pop ular BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) A small Belgian foundry is making a successful business casting replicas of oldtime cannons, lamp posts and letter boxes. It is threatening the long reign of garden dwarves, Venuses of Milo or trunkated Greek columns as garden ornaments. It all started a few years ago when Gerard and Albert family foundry in Saint Trond, Belgium, drove past a country house with remains of an old wagon on its lawn two big wheels joined by a wooden axle. "Fine, but with a cannon tube, it would be better," said Albert. "We've got it," yelled his brother Gerard.

"We are going to make cannons." STUDY MODELS The same day, the two brothers fetched their encyclopedia! They spent days studying historical works and visiting Belgian, and foreign museums. Assisted by -a sculptor and the factory cast designer, they finally settled on three basic models; the standard mounted artillery cannon, the fortress cannon and the naval cannon dating from large sailing ship era. From these three basic models, the Brialmont workshops turn over 30 models of 17th and 18th century cannons, mounted on wooden bases and delivered with cannon balls. Other products of the plant include fireplace decoration, garden furniture and soon a "unique" movable barbecue set. "What above all pleases us, "Gerard Brialmont says," is that everyone is really romantic at heart and loves things from the past.
