Hubbell&#39;s &#34;goloid&#34; metal and metric weights and measures scheme was just such a one, and it was a humdinger. Goloid contained a teenie-tiny amount of pure gold; too little to affect the color of the coin which looks suspiciously like plain, ordinary silver. After the Mint struck an assortment of goloid and metric patterns, the whole idea was tossed into the dustbin of history. These few pieces are all we have left as a reminder of Mr. Hubbell&#39;s glorious brainchild &#40;Ju dd does not supply us with Hubbell&#39;s full name, but we do learn through a Google search that Jay Abel Hubbell, a Republican congressman from Michigan, was on the banking and currency committee and so would have a say in defining mint policy.&#41;. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;3,500-4,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 85293<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/085293.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/085293N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:glenn@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
