<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 26024127, member: 104064"]Personally I think the real story is way cooler than the Martha's donated silverware story. Nobody ever claimed Martha actually held any of the coins, it was like "here's some silver, you're welcome", whereas Jefferson spent them with his own hands. You'd have to know if it was the first striking though, right? I would love to see one in person. Someone found one in a junk bin a few years back. Imagine that. <a href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/collector-finds-rare-1792-half-disme-in-junk-box" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/collector-finds-rare-1792-half-disme-in-junk-box" rel="nofollow">https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/collector-finds-rare-1792-half-disme-in-junk-box</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
