Frederick News-Post: Gold coin dropped almost a week before Christmas

Frederick News-Post: Gold coin dropped almost a week before Christmas

Christmas came early this year for Frederick's Salvation Army.

The clink of the elusive South African gold Krugerrand coin was heard on Friday at the Wal-Mart on Md. 85.

The coin, valued at $900, has been a Frederick tradition for at least five years, said Maj. Raymond Pruitt, Salvation Army Corps officer.

"That's as far back as any of the staff remembers," he said.

Pruitt said the coin usually arrives the week of Christmas, though sometimes it gets dropped a little early.

Though no one knows who offers the coin each year, Pruitt said he thinks it's the same person.

"They don't want to be identified," he said. "We're perfectly happy to honor that wish."

20070107 For Lester White old coins are priceless

For Lester White old coins are priceless

January 16th, 2007

I had missed this story and just found it.

Cassandra A. Fortin has a story in the January 7, 2007 edition of the Baltimore Sun, about local Westminster merchant Lester White and his coin shop:

For dealer, old coins are priceless

Westminster's Lester White cherishes the stories behind the money

Mr. White is a real asset to historic downtown Westminster. Entering his shop and talking with Mr. White is a sheer delight – but then again I am also a numismatist and share his passion for coins.

“…White, now 72, has become well known among collectors and their children. The Westminster numismatist - a person who studies coins, tokens, medals or paper money - opened White's Emporium in 1987, now a coin shop on Main Street.”

[…]

Then he opened White's Emporium, which started as an antique and coin shop. Later he closed the antique portion of the business to focus on coins. He bought unique coins, rather than rare ones, to sell, he said.

"I don't seek out the expensive coins," said White, who has been active in as many as eight coin clubs around the country. Instead, he looks for coins that tell a story.

[…]

Most of White's teaching takes place when patrons visit the shop looking for a coin. He works with the adult and younger customers, said Robert Ruby, the president of the Carroll County Coin Club.

[…]

His generosity is second only to his desire to introduce people to the stories behind the coins. He said he starts by helping the budding numismatists understand the stages of collecting.

Read the rest of the article here.

Westminster has quite a few merchants like Mr. White – different passions and different merchandise – same town, same sense of community.

We need more stories like this – and we can use more merchants and shops like this in downtown Westminster. It is what we do best.

Meanwhile, next chance you get - visit Westminster, visit our shops and enjoy one of our many great restaurants.
