That's an expensive version of a cardboard 2x2.
So they say. As far as I know, the presses could coin dollars at 80 per minute. Perhaps this number is wrong for 1921, but that was the rate in...
In a manner of speaking, it should. The models having long been destroyed, a coin was more or less copied to make the model for 1921 while a new...
Medal vs. coin alignment being correct for a coin made through mint shenanigans doesn't really matter. I imagine any orientation could have been...
