<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26059788, member: 101855&quot;]The of Lady Managers and the Board of Gentlemen Managers each received a $10,000 stipend from the Federal Government. The ladies took theirs in the form of 40,000 Isabella Quarters which they intended to sell for more than 25 cents. Some were sold for as little as 35 cents. It sounded like a good idea, but from what I have read, the ladies didn’t do a great job of marketing the coins. They did not sell well. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the end Mrs. Palmer recused 10,000 of the quarters from the melting pot. Coin collectors should be forever grateful to her for that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
