<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3509905, member: 101855&quot;]I am sorry, but I am royally confused. Ulysses S. Grant (His real first name was Hiram.) served as president from 1869 to 1877. Calvin Coolidge served from 1923 to 1929. I don’t know how Grant got involved in this history. From what I&#039;ve read, Herbert Hoover was totally opposed the commemorative coin programs. He did not approve of any of them during his time in office from 1929 to 1933. They resumed when FDR took office in 1933.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people say that the 1848 CAL. Quarter Eagle was the first commemorative coin. Even if you buy into that, the next one didn&#039;t come along until 1892 with the Columbian Half Dollar. That was approved by Benjamin Harrison. After the issue of comitatives was fairly sporadic until the 1920s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
