<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1485861, member: 66&quot;]I show Treaty of Ghent as being signed December 24th 1814.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess it really come down to when do you consider a war to be over.&nbsp; When the documents are signed, when they are ratified, or when the peace is declared.&nbsp; Kind of like WWI.&nbsp; The armistice went into effect&nbsp; on Nov 11th 1918 and that is normally considered to be the end of the war, but the final declaration of peace did not come until late Nov 1921.&nbsp; Technically from Nov 18 to Nov 21 we were still at war, there was just a cease fire in place.&nbsp; (That is the reason why the 1921 peace dollar had such a low mintage.&nbsp; They wanted the coin commemorating the peace to come out in the same year that the peace was declared but it came so late in the year that they only had about four weeks to solicit designs, get approval, make models, dies and start striking coins.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t start production until Dec 28th, but they did get them made during the year peace was declared.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
