Section 3: Reading
Passage 1: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
In the American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the
colonies with coins and did not allow the colonies to make their own coins, except for
the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which received permission for a short period in 1652 to
make several kinds of silver coins. England wanted to keep money out of America as a
means of controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with England if it did not
have the money to buy products from other countries. The result during this pre-
revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money:
beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes
for money. The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain. Dutch,
Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.
During the Revolutionary War, funds were needed to finance the world, so each of
the individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper money. So much of this
paper money was printed that by the end of the war, almost no one would accept it. As
a result, trade in goods and the use of foreign coins still flourished during this period.
By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists, the
monetary system was in a state of total disarray. To resolve this situation, the new
Constitution of the United States, approved in 1789, allowed Congress to issue money.
The individual states could no longer have their own money supply.
1. The passage mainly discusses
A. American money from past to present.
B. the English monetary policies in colonial America.
C. the effect of the Revolution on American money.
D. the American monetary system of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
2. The passage indicates that during the colonial period, money was
A. supplied by England.
B. coined by colonists.
C. scarce.
D. used extensively for trade.
3. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was allowed to make coins
A. continuously from the inception of the colonies.
B. throughout the seventeenth century.
C. from 1652 until the Revolutionary War.
D. for a short time during one year.
4. The expression “a means of” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by.
A. an example of
B. a method of
C. a result of
D. a punishment for
5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a substitute for money
during the colonial period?
A. Wampum
 B. Tobacco
C. Cotton
D. Beaver furs
Passage 2: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
Collecting coins can be a good investment, but it requires the study of popularity,
availability, and grading techniques. Some coins are more desirable than others, their
popularity being affected by the artists’ talent, the subject of design, the material from
which the coin is made, and the time period when the coin was created.
Availability is just as critical. Providing the coin is otherwise interesting or pleasing to
the eye, the number of coins minted and available on the market seems to have a direct
relationship to the popularity.
The ability to grade coins is perhaps the most important requirement of a collector. A
coin that is popular and scarce, which would normally make it valuable, may be worth
much less or nothing at all if it has a low grade. Grading is standardized, and one can buy
books and take courses on how to do it.
Grades are given letter designations as well as numbers. The letters represent general
levels of the grade, while the numbers are more detailed. For example, there’re 11
number grades within the letter grade for a mint state coin. A mint state coin is
uncirculated, which means it has never been used in commerce. It is in the condition that
it left the mint, the place where a coin is created. The mint state letter designation is MS,
and the numbers range from 60 through 70. An absolutely perfect coin is MS-70. It takes
much training and a good eye to tell the difference between coins in this range.
The things one considers include whether the coin has contact marks, which are marks
obtained when coins bounce against each other in a coin bag; hairlines, which are marks
appearing on the face of the coin from the minting process; luster, which is the natural
coloration; and eye appeal.
6. The one grading category that has the most number grades within it is ……
A. Mint State
B. About Uncirculated
C. Good
D. Fine
7. The author implies that the most important feature of a coin is its………
A. date
B. depiction
C. grade
D. artist
8. According to the author, the phrase contact marks means…….
A. defects caused by cleaning
 B. marks on a coin caused by banging from other coins
C. defects in the minting process
D. connections among coin dealers
9. The author implies that availability is primarily related to
A. the popularity of a coin
B. the material used to create a coin
C. the age of a coin
D. the number of coins of a given type and date that they were minted
10. The writer describes a coin’s popularity as involving all the following except
A. grade
B. the description on the coin
C. how well the artist created the work
D. the coin’s material
