Trivia quiz. Most people know the woman is a model representing Sacajawea. (There are no contemporary pictures, so we don't know exactly what...
Very true. Only relatively rich people could afford to collect coins. Most people were happy just to have a few to spend. I, too, find a little...
Welcome to CT. The comments above are accurate, in my non-expert opinion. It is most likely something on the coin. If not, it is a common...
It is, indeed, a cool coin. But in the 1800s, and even early 1900s, there were relatively few collectors to pull it out of circulation. And I...
