Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee Public Meeting Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 9:00 AM United State Mint Headquarters 801 9th Street NW, 8th Floor Conference Room Washington, D.C. In attendance: Michael Bugeja Robert Hoge Erik Jansen Michael Moran Gary Marks (Chair) Michael Olson Michael Ross Donald Scarinci Jeanne Stevens-Sollman Heidi Wastweet 1. Chairperson Marks called the meeting to order at 9:17 A.M. 2. The letter and minutes of the April 26, 2012 meeting were unanimously approved. 3. Ron Harrigal of the United States Mint presented the candidate designs for the Five Star Generals Commemorative Coin Program, inclusive of a $5 gold coin, $1 silver coin and a clad half dollar. 4. After Mr. Harrigal’s presentation the Committee discussed the directive and legislative intent of Public Law 111-262 that the program recognize and celebrate the attendance and graduation of Generals Douglas MacArthur, George C. Marshall, Henry H. Arnold, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Omar N. Bradley from the Command and General Staff College located at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. It was noted that contrary to the legislative directive and intent for the program reverse designs provided for the $5 gold coin and $1 silver coin featured other themes. It was also noted that reverse designs for the clad half dollar utilized themes associated with the Command and General Staff College. A motion was made by Mr. Olson, and seconded by Ms. Stevens-Sollman, that the Committee select reverse designs for the $5 gold coin and the $1 silver coin only from among designs provided by the Mint for the clad half dollar. The motion was approved on a vote of seven (7) ayes and three (3) nays. 5. After each member had commented on the candidate designs, Committee members rated proposed designs by assigning 0, 1, 2, or 3 points to each, with higher points reflecting more favorable evaluations. With ten (10) members voting, the maximum possible point total was 30. By Committee rule, a majority of the maximum possible point total (i.e. 16) was required to garner the Committee’s recommendation. The committee’s scores for the Five Star Generals Commemorative Coin Program were: $5 Gold Coin Obverse Designs: FSG-O-G-01: 0 FSG-O-G-02: 6 FSG-O-G-03: 18 (Recommended design) FSG-O-G-04: 0 FSG-O-G-05: 14 FSG-O-G-06: 4 Reverse Designs: (Committee evaluated only half dollar designs for use on the $5 gold coin.)
