HOBBY WORK Georye Wakeling, 9 Leamington, is proud of his collection of knife carvingt which he has fashioned over the years. Mr. Wakeling first Ontario a display arranged by the department of sociology and anthropology of the U. of W.

through the courtesy of Professor J. N. Emerson, of the University of Toronto's anthropology department. The archaeological exhibit, set up in the university library, covered five periods of history dating back to 50oo BC. Most of the relics arranged by the student were borrowed from the University of Toronto's collection but some were provided by one of the trio, Harry Bosveld.

majoring in history, who unearthed bits of pottery near his Chatham home. Others who assembled the artifacts were Neil Fothering-ham, of Ruthven, who is majoring in history, and Michael Karschti, of Windsor, who is studying in the honors program of the department of sociology and anthropology. They had help and direction from Professor Jameson Bond, of the sociology and anthroKlogy department, and Miss Joan Magee, reference librarian at the U. of W. A portion of the exhibit dealt with the boreal (Northern) forest archaic period from 5000 BC to 500 BC.

"The archaic was the early level of culture with a hunting, fishing and gathering economy. Pottery, the smoking pipe and agriculture were lacking but there was a large variety and numerical abundance of chipped stone types," the students wrote in describing the period. Professor Bond said the earliest human artifacts in the Windsor area are of this culture. Relics from the archaic culture included a bevelled axe, crude arrow points, adze blades, a gouge and a gorget (a breast piece), all of stone. Dating back to the same time was a display on the "Old Copper Culture" from 5000 BC to 1500 BC.

It featured copper tools used by the Huron Indians in the upper Great Lakes area. The cold hammered copper was probably the first copper used in the world, Professor Bond said. It was used for fish gouges, adzes (a form of axe) and fish hooks, samples of which were in the display. A hair ornament made of copper was also bhown. "Contemporaneous with the archaic culture, old copper, as the name implies, is characterized by the extensive use of copper for tools and ornaments," students explained.

An exhibit on the "Point Peninsula Culture" from htm BC to 1M0 AD, a period during which pottery was developed and extensively used, featured samples of corded pottery pottery given a de- HJ.IK.

Mint records show that 19,750 silver dollars were coined in 1804, but they were not necessarily dated 1801. These were probably dated 1803, since the usual practice was to use the dies for as long as possible. The trend Mr.

Mason wrote about has now been reversed. American collectors are now importing English coins in tremendous quantities, and both dealers and collectors who visit Great Britain are bringing back much choice and interesting materials. The United States Government is expected to make hundreds of thousands of dollars profit annually from the minting of new clad or "sandwich" coinage. The first of these quarters with a copper centre surrounded by two cupro nickel jackets are already beginning to turn up in pocket change or when cheques are cashed at the bank. Many governments in the On returning from one of his yearly trips, the famous dealer and numismatic writer observed: "There a perfect craze in England for old American coins, but the English are great collectors anyhow.

Why, in Wardner St. in London, there are nearly 100 old coin stores next to one another. I collect sample sets of American coins from the time of the Revolution and I always find plenty of customers in England, principally in Liverpool, London, Sheffield and Manchester." Mr. Mason also mentioned that he could easily obtain 100 per ent more for the same coin in England than he could in the United States. A 1794 silver dollar purchased by the British Museum brought him 1,000, a tremendous sum of money for such a purchase during this period.

Mr. Mason mentioned that three of the then known 1804 silver dollars were in England during this time. All of Uise are now back in the U.S. in the hands of museums or collectors. There are two types of 1b04 silver dollars: type 1, called originals, of which tight past as will as some right now have received large amounts into their treasuries by this seigmoriage, Seigni orage is the profit which results from the difference the cost of the bullion and manufacturing a coin and its actual face or monetary value.
