<p>[QUOTE="Smcelm, post: 2008647, member: 46445"]I've been known to "beat a dead horse" but I most definitely see a conflict. The conflict is this: Chris above implies(but doesn't flat out say) that it was used continuously from 1880 up until the 1960's when a year was added but the link he provides says something completely different(i.e. Used Jan. 1, 1880 to 1898, 1901). This is a big difference from used continuously into the 1960's when a year was added. Don't get me wrong...I believe Chris' information is correct but I have only seen a single resource(Benjamin Weiss website) that even mentions that the cornucopia might have possibly been used later than 1901. Exonumia.com even states that no mint edge markings were used from 1897-1920. I would just jump for joy if someone could show me credible documentation that EXACTLY outlines when the cornucopia symbol was used. I have a couple of medals with the cornucopia symbol and the word "bronze" so EXACTLY when the cornucopia symbol was used would be nice to know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
