<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 423252, member: 112&quot;]You just don&#039;t understand what that cap and stick represent - they represent Liberty. Even our earliest coinage used the same design - <a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/half_cents_liberty_cap_head_left.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/half_cents_liberty_cap_head_left.html" rel="nofollow">1795 half cent</a> - <a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/half_cents_liberty_cap_head_right.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/half_cents_liberty_cap_head_right.htm" rel="nofollow">1794 half cent</a> - <a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/liberty_cap_large_cents/liberty_cap_large_cents.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/liberty_cap_large_cents/liberty_cap_large_cents.html" rel="nofollow">1794 cent</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>The cap is known as the Phrygian Cap, it has represented Liberty since Roman times when freed slaves were given such caps as a symbol of their being a free man. It has been a universal symbol of Liberty for 2000 years, world wide. That same sentiment was present in this country when we gained our freedom from England.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
