Your Wate and Fate: 20TH CENTURY GOOD LUCK TOKENS! Tier 3 JULY 28th, 2023

The 20th century was a time when lucky tokens, pocket pieces, and mascots were manufactured in vast quantities and given out to customers by companies of all kinds. Everyone believed in luck in those days, and these talismans, often called "Good Luck Coins," although they had no monetary value, were carefully saved by the folks who were got them. I have collected such exonumia for more than 50 years, and a couple of decades ago i put a few samples up for show at my Lucky Mojo site. This week i am sharing another batch of them, with commentary.

Trade cards, not to be confused with trading cards, were elaborate business cards popular during the late 19th century. Using the chromolithography printing process, they bore colourful images, the name of the business, and, sometimes, text on the reverse. This week we showcase the "U. S. Coins and Currency" trade cards printed by W. W. Chew of Philadelphia and marketed by John W. Roberts of San Francisco in 1881.

One month ago we released a new web page on 20th century lucky tokens, pocket pieces, and mascots from the 20th century. These coin-like objects were manufactured by custom mints in brass, bronze, or copper, and some of them were gilded. Later examples were stamped of aluminum, when that became a cheaper metal than brass. They given to customers by companies and to voters by politicians, as fancy calling cards. Many people wanted luck, especially during the Great Depression, and although they had no monetary value, these talismans, called "Good Luck Coins" by the public, were carried on the person, placed in the change pockets of wallets or purses, or thrown into change drawers by the folks who got them. I have collected such exonumia for more than 50 years and this week i am sharing a new batch of them, with commentary, at Your Wate and Fate.

This week in "It's All Ephemera" i have written a brand-new chapter of "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice," my free online book about African American folk magic. This new web page -- "Marked Money" -- is part of the Patreon series i call "A Hoodoo Hand" and presents an illustrated overview on how to select, mark, dress, and deploy currency and coins for use in spells to bring you luck and wealth, either through commerce or games of chance. However, if you are not a Patron, you will just have to wait at the grade crossing until the Fast Mail rolls back through again next year, because ...

This week's Patreon-supported page is a whole new category of luckiness at Your Wate and Fate -- a guide to basic numismatology for folks who follow our regular uploads on lucky coins, tokens, and Dragon Money. If you don't know what exonumia is, if you are in the dark about CoAs and challenge coins, and if you don't know your obverse from your reverse -- this page is for you! It's your one-page guide to the amazing material culture of lucky silver, gold, and copper coins and bullion, wooden nickels, and round tuits. If it's worth money it's here, and if it is lucky, it's here. We cover everything from the difference between antiquing and tarnish to the difference between face value and spot price. Our Patrons usually get a one-year exclusive preview of our work documenting the material culture of magic and luck, but because we have a bunch of lucky coin pages coming up for release to the public, we rushed this explanatory page ahead, putting the horse before the cart, so to speak.

This little "LUCKY Dime Register Bank" counts your lucky dimes as you drop them in, all the way up to $5.00. It is only 2 1/2 inches square and about half an inch deep, and shows the luckiness of the dimes deposited into it. It dates from the 1930s and it can be found in the Lucky W Amulet Archive -- http://www.AmuletArchive.com -- on the Silver Dimes page at https://www.LuckyMojo.com/silverdime.html

Speaking of lucky, check out our Lucky Mojo freshly made spiritual oils, incense, perfumes, floor washes, and sachet powders, plus the widest selection of magical herbs and roots under one roof. Our entire catalogue is online at https://www.luckymojo.com/catalogue — and we sell by mail order, too, both retail and wholesale. (Photo by Catherine Yronwode.)

I am a church pastor, so if you don't mind, i'd like to preach a little sermon. I take my text today from The Book of Psalms, chapter 56, verse 4 -- "In God I have put my trust."

Folks, "In God We Trust" can be found on every American coin in your pocket, a ready and present guide in times of trouble. These coins were not inscribed "In the Federal Reserve We Trust" or "In Our Flag We Trust" or even "In America We Trust." They were inscribed with that old Hebrew prayer written by King David, long ago: "In God We Trust."

Every so-called "junk" silver coin is a reminder of that. Get yourself a real silver Mercury Dime and carry it on you for luck and protection -- but before you put it in your pocket or purse, read the words on it.

The word "Liberty" tells us that we came out of bondage and we shall remain free.

The words "E Pluribus Unum" inform us that although we are diverse, and come from many cultures and many walks of life, we have made a Union that encompasses our differences.

And most of all, when the way gets rough, and angry old men try to enslave us with words of fear for our financial future, try to restrict our freedoms, or try to bully our communities, we can pull back a step, get out that old silver Mercury Dime, and look at those sacred words: "In God We Trust."

Yes, "In God We Trust."

Amen.

Hey, just a question on substitution.

If one can’t get Indian Head pennies, would Sacagawea dollars work?

I’m thinking they might be even better for migration-related mojos. Sacagawea was captured from her people and sold as a sex slave. Even so, she managed to make her way back across the continent and then back to St. Louis and gained freedom for her children.

Halfcocked Jack --

Well, you are going off a little halfcocked there.

Sacagawea was not employed, rented, leased, sold, or trafficked for sex after the common meaning of the term "sex slave" as you used it. She was not sold as a "sex slave" to her husband, she was not a slave to the Lewis and Clark expedition, and Lewis and Clark did not abuse her as a "sex slave" either. She did not "manage to make her way back across the continent" -- she helped lead the Lewis and Clark Expedition from Saint Louis, Missouri, to the Pacific Ocean in Oregon, and back again. At no time did Sacagawea "gain freedom for her children," as you said -- because they were never enslaved. She has no metaphysical link to sex-slavery or to civil justice and legal matters.

Indian Head cents have long been taken to be links to the spirit of Black Hawk, a Sauk warrior from the upper midwest. His veneration was introduced into the Spiritual Church Movement by Mother Leafy Anderson, the founder of the Eternal Life Christian Spiritualist Church, who was born in Wisconsin, in the region where Black Hawk had lived. He fought the US Government and had a lookout on a cliff, which entered into the Black Spiritual Church Movement song that calls him "a watcher on the wall." He aid is sought in matters of the law, police, customs officials, IRS, DEA, ICE, zoning departments, and process servers. See:

SACAGAWEA AND THE "GOLDEN DOLLAR"

Sacagawea was a member of the Shoshone tribe, born in the region now called Idaho. She was captured by the Hidatsa tribe as a child and taken eastward to their homeland in what we now call North Dakota. She was fluent both in Shoshone and Hidatsa. She and her husband Toissaint Charbonneau, a Metis (a person of mixed French Canadian and Cree heritage) were hired by the Lewis and Clark Expedition as guides and translators. Their first child, Jean Baptiste "Pomp" Charbonneau, was born in North Dakota to 16-year-old Sacagawea in 1805 while the expedition was underway, and the baby accompanied the expedition as well. The treatment that Meriwether Lewis and William Clark accorded Sacagawea was respectful and Clark in particular seems to have befriended her. The couple's second child, Lizette Charbonneau, was born in 1812 in South Dakota, and Sacagawea died in South Dakota that same year from typhoid fever. In 1813, with the agreement of their father, Clark adopted both children in Saint Louis and raised them.

Sacagawea's gold-coloured one dollar coin, first minted in 2000, caught the attention of women, especially those with children, who, like her, were supporting themselves in the work force. I immediately devised the idea to add her coin to mojo hands made for women with children who also are employed outside the home. Because of her outstanding language skills and her work as an expedition guide, i have found that she may be petitioned by professional translators and tour guides as well.

So, no, although these two Native Americans from different tribes and regions were roughly contemporaries, they lived very different lives, have different linkages to hoodoo, and are petitioned for different causes.

I know you are new to these things, and live elsewhere, so i will leave you with one further thought: Beware of the desire to "substitute." You say you cannot get an Indian Head Cent -- but we sell them, you know. See also this Forum thread for more on lucky coins and currency:

P.S. The traditional American coin for escaping from slavery (sexual or otherwise) has always been a silver Liberty Head coin -- the Seated Liberty of the mid 19th century, the Winged Liberty ("Mercury") Dime of the early 20th century, and so forth. I have written about that elsewhere and will not go into it here, but for a brief look at American coin charms and other talismans, see:
