I didn’t think that it was a pattern either, but can easily see where the confusion would stem. It is very similar to the 1856 flying eagle where...
I have about forty bags altogether, quite a few from the mint, but most are from local banks and the federal reserve. Today they are just full of...
I was aware of the J-1988 Farouk/Kasoff/Cline pattern, but are all 1916s patterns, or generally just considered type I? I became very interested...
