<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 176375, member: 66&quot;]I like the reverse of the dollar, but I object to the PC obverse.&nbsp; (In order to &quot;show the diversity at Jamestown&quot; they included a negro female on the obverse.&nbsp; There were no negros at the founding of Jamestown and the first ones did not arrive until about eight years later.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The Mint is allowed two commemorative PROGRAMS per year.&nbsp; next years programs are the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown (which has been commemorated for the last seven years on the Virginia state quarter, so why are they now getting a Comm dollar too?), and the second program is the fiftieth anniversary of the Little Rock Nine.&nbsp; (The court ordered desgregation of the Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas resulted in the National Guard being called out to escort and protect nine black students that were enrolled in the all white school.)&nbsp; The coin has inscriptionns above and below and shows nine pairs of walking feet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
