Wonder what one can buy with 1/4-cent back in those days.
I never knew that die cracks could raise the grade. Learned something new at CT today. Would die clashes also raise grades? I think I see a...
I thought I had two. Here they are. But I just realized I've got none! LOL. My square one-cent looks like yours but it's not from the Straits...
Can't wait to see it. Good luck with the project! :-)
There's an interesting story behind the 1926 bold "GOD" Peace Dollar (like yours shows). It concerns the Scopes Trial and religious intolerance....

Congrats on the 5,000 likes. Look forward to liking more posts and pics!
I never knew that. A Newel Post. Will add that to other names I learned from coin designs: Fasces (Mercury Dime), Arrow Fletch (Morgan Dollar),...
