<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 735399, member: 66&quot;]1. I&#039;ll give you that one.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Clarify please.&nbsp; Do you mean an actual native american who existed, an actual individual native american use as a model, or just a case of actual native americans used as models? For commemoratives there was and earlier one, Chief Black Fish on the Boone half dollar.&nbsp; The indian on the nickel is a composite of three actual native americans, but the Sac dollar is the first to have a single model that was a native american.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. For circulation yes, if you include commemoratives no.&nbsp; First comm designed by a woman was the 1921 Alabama Centennial half by Laura Fraser.&nbsp; (Not done in conjunction with her husband.)</p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; For circulation, yes.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. (#1) No, the first coin to have an infant on it was the 1937 Roanoke Island commem.&nbsp; On the reverse you will see the infant Virginia Dare, first child of European colonists born in the New World, in her mothers arms..</p><p><br /></p><p>6 (#1) The first with a changing REV, but the President dollar series with a static rev and a changing OBV began two years earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p>5 (#2) For circulation yes, for Commemoratives no.&nbsp; The first such commem was the Columbian Exposition Half dollar.&nbsp; There are no actual portraits or contemporary sculptures known of Christopher Columbus.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>6. (#2)&nbsp; SOLD as a slave yes, but not the first to depict one.&nbsp; The 1998 &quot;Black Revolutionary War Patriots&quot; dollar shows Crispus Attucks who was apparently born as a slave and who escaped from slavery in 1750.&nbsp; But as far as I know he was never sold as a slave.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
