<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kanderus, post: 1426008, member: 28447&quot;]I am going to talk about the year 1916.&nbsp; This was, as many of us know, a MAJOR year in the world of numismatics. It showed us the end of Liberty Head (or Barber) coinage, and ushered in a new age of &quot;art coins.&quot; for lack of a better term. Yes, in 1916 the Standing, Walking, and Winged Liberties were all released. All three of these coins are still regarded as some of, if not THEE MOST beautiful coins every minted.</p><p>Of particular note, the 1916 Standing Liberty and the 1916-D Winged Liberty are key dates in their respective series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other major events that happened during that year include the lightswitch being invented, and the Chicago Cubs play their first game at what is now known as Wrigley Field. The boyscouts are incorporated by President Woodrow Wilson, Lassen Volcanic Nation Park is established (this is VERY close to me, geographically.) </p><p><br /></p><p>1916 was a very cool, and important year![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
