Dallin a Boston sculptor, used designs furnished by the commission to create this commemorative coin. The initial “D” is on the obverse just below the elbow.</p><p><br /></p><p>The man on the obverse is Governor William Bradford. On the reverse the ship is the Mayflower. This coin was minted in 1920 and 1921. The first issue had no obverse date. The 1921 Coins have the date on the offers in the field in front of the governor. They also have the dates 1620-1920. The dual dates are on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both issues had very high mintages but not all off the coins were sold. This resulted in 128,000 coins been melted by the Mint. In 1921 there was a manage of 152,112 coins in 1921 as a manager 20,053 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not a collector of Commemorative Coins but I needed this one for my Dansco 7070 album and it was great to purchase a coin that’s 101 years old in this condition.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1312601[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1312602[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1312601[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1312602[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
