<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harrync, post: 7971079, member: 58588&quot;]A little late to the show [the original post was just over seven years ago] but thought I would add that &quot;The Centennial&quot; was also used on the $1000 bond of the &quot;Loan of 1925&quot; [issued in 1895 - Hessler X170D], mostly in its original form with the Liberty Cap. The cap may have been removed on the silver certificate to appease Southerners; it is generally believed the cap was removed from the Statue of Freedom on top of the Capitol for that reason. In the Roman Republic, the cap was given to freed slaves, not something&nbsp; [former] slaveholders might appreciate seeing on their currency or on the top of the Capitol. Perhaps with the bond they just didn&#039;t think it necessary to go to the trouble of modifying it, since they would mostly be held by big city northern banks. [It is also speculated that the $500 coin note was never issued because it featured Gen. Sherman.][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
