The Lasqueti Mint is pushing the numismatic envelope again with the introduction of their latest coin produced for Mammoth Tusk Gold Inc. of the Yukon. The Proof coin is a 1 oz .9999 gold coin with a diameter of 29.9 mm. The Obverse sports a sourdough gold panner with the date “2008” and the legend “PURE KLONDIKE GOLD”. The Reverse is an artistic rendering of a wooly mammoth by Mint engraver Ray Lipovsky, along with the legend “YUKON” and the required “1 oz .9999 FINE GOLD” and the coveted Lasqueti Mint mark.

The coins will be packaged in handmade wooden boxes with a mammoth tusk cabochon inlaid in the top produced by Wildwood Works of Lasqueti Island. They will also be accompanied by a certificate from the Lasqueti Mint.

All this is rather special yet there is much more. Mammoth Tusk Gold Inc. has established a chain of custody which guarantees that the gold in these magnificent coins comes from the environmental award-winning Ross Mine, a placer mine on Dominion Creek in the Klondike region of the Yukon. The environmental and social standards held by Mammoth Tusk Gold are documented by their chain of custody, as well as support from the Yukon government.

This entire project sets a new standard for gold production and supply in North America! No other mint in North America can guarantee their coins are made from “conflict free” Canadian gold. Only mines which abide by the strict environmental and social guidelines of Klondike placer mine regulations will be considered to be granted the “Mammoth Gold” label.

The maximum 250 Proof coin run is available at $1,650.00ea from:

2007 is the 10th anniversary of coinage from the Lasqueti Mint. The Mint is distinguishing this year’s coinage with a double date, 1997-2007. This date appears on the new 1/2 oz and 1/10oz coins. The 1/2oz .999 silver coins are the second in the Cascadia series and feature the Cascadia reverse with the Rufus Humming Bird while the obverse sports a new design of the beloved Western Tree Frog. This coin comes in two finishes, Proof $72.00 and Brilliant Uncirculated $40.00. The famous Dory 1/10oz coind with the wreath of marijuana flowers on the reverse is also dual dated 1997-2007 and comes in two finishes, Specimen and Brilliant Uncirculated. The Dory is available in both pure .9999 gold (Sp $130.00. BU $120.00) and the very rare .9999 silver (Sp $18.00, BU $15.00).

The Lasqueti Mint also minted a coin for Salst Spring Island dated 2007 in silver with a weight of 1/2oz .999 silver and a value of $$50.00 (Salt Spring Dollars).

The final minting adventure for the Mint this year will be coining the President’s medal for the Canadian Numismatic Association. This is an honor for the Mint and shows the high esteem in which the Mint is held by the numismatic community. The medal will be 1/2 oz of .999 silver 29.8mm with an obverse design of script indicating the years of service, the President’s name and the initials CNA adorned with two maple leaves. The reverse will feature a reproduction of the “Wild Man” design from an early German State Tallar. The Mint has reservered 50 of the 250 medals for our subscribers. This medal will not be available to the general public. If you wish to have one of these medals please CONTACT US NOW at 250-333-8868 or tollinglqmintcom so we can set aside your strike number when we do the run. Cost is $40.00 plus shipping.

This past year has seen many upgrades at the Mint. We cut a hole in the floor and poured a slab of concrete for the drop hammer so the entire building no longer bounces when we strike a coin. With the addition of a CNC machine and a computer operated kiln we have been able to manufacture our own dies entirely in house. This is a very big deal! Have a party or at least get out your kazoo and blow a TA DA! With these innovations we are now able to do all the creation and execution of our art on the Island.

We are concerned about the pedigree of the metals we use. We hope, in the near future, to be able to guarantee that our coins are made only from Canadian precious metals for which the chain of custody is known, and that have been mined and refine with environmentally and socially kind processes.

We hope these coins bring you as much pleasure as we have had in making them.

Peace be with you,
Tolling

Your Honor,

I note with interest that there has been no sentence passed in the case of Bernard Von NotHaus and the Liberty Dollar.  I have also been struck by the similarities between the Von NotHaus case and the recent case of “Beers versus US of A”.  Beers, as you are well aware, was based on the Constitutional right of Federal Judges to have their wages maintained so as not to fall victims to a hostile government that might cut remuneration to influence or remove a judge from office.  The inflation in the United States was considered a de facto cutting of wages for judges.  The success of Beers is a stunning confirmation of the validity of the Liberty Dollar and a vindication of Mr. NotHaus’s intention to create a vehicle that would afford the average American the same protection from inflation that you as a Federal Judge enjoy.

One of the stated intentions of the Liberty Dollar is to offer a voluntary barter item that would be inflation proof.  Because the Liberty Dollar is based in gold and silver the value of the Liberty Dollar increases as the fiat currencies of the nation states devalue due to monetary inflation thus maintaining the purchasing power of those who choose to use the Liberty Dollar.

It would appear that Von NotHaus has devised the proper monetary system for our time and that rather than a stint in a Federal Prison, he ought to be offered a position at another Federal institution, perhaps the Treasury Department as Secretary.

In light of the decision in Beers, I urge you to consider an acquittal of Mr. Von Nothaus or at the least a new trial.

Thank you for your consideration of this new information.
