<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ronnie58, post: 3033228, member: 90698&quot;]~&nbsp; Some of the first Washington commemoratives were made in Britain, I believe.&nbsp; It seems strange they would go from wanting to string him up to such accolades only nine years later. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>~ The depiction of the Eagle shows they hadn&#039;t quite settled on an elegant way to depict the standing position... looks like it could be a freeze frame from the &#039;disco chicken&#039; just b4 blast-off. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>~ The head piece is quite interesting.&nbsp; Rome, Vatican, Royalty, Lloyd&#039;s Bank - these are all connected.&nbsp; I know it sounds ludicrous on the surface, but I&#039;ve wondered if the Brits didn&#039;t throw the war in order to let the rebels subdue the &#039;savages&#039; and the terrain, in order to gain access to the new resource base.&nbsp; Winning would have meant bankrolling all of the industry, agriculture and construction from afar.&nbsp; But the story about their being broke as well as worn out from previous engagements as the war ended may not be all there is to it. -- Apologies for the digression, I know that this is outside the realm here, but would be glad to discuss further via PM) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie77" alt=":pompous:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
