<p>[QUOTE=&quot;skinnyeddie, post: 184632, member: 6638&quot;]It seems there were no slaves in Jamestown until 1619, but they were there eventually.&nbsp; Nobody said that the coin had to represent only the conditions in place at the actual year of founding, so I don&#039;t necessarily feel it is historically inaccurate.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s kind of a trip that the mint refers to the coin as showing &quot;faces of diversity.&quot;&nbsp; My guess is that the black slaves present at Jamestown had absolutely no interest in being there and the Indians probably weren&#039;t all that thrilled about the new settlers either.&nbsp; For the government to look back and give revisionist spin as this grand melting pot is pretty funny and pretty PC.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I like the gold coin much better with the settlers and the Indians poised in a kind of face-off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
