    I believe it's the Arkansas Commemorative but I'm not sure. I think the governor of Arkansas at that time was on the coin. I'd have to dig out my commem reference book to double check though.

    Alabama centennial commemorative half..."The obverse has busts of W.W. Bibb, first governor of Alabama and T.E. Kilby, governor at the time of the centennial." I wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen it in my Red Book (thank you chairman Mao).

    It's said the person depicted (rather poorly) on the first Large Cents is David Rittenhouse's wife, who was known as a rare beauty in her time.

    She was the fifth, and the first living woman. If Nancy had lived a few more months she would have been the sixth and the second woman. Now you know the first and the fifth, now you need to come up with the other three.
