[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 499480, member: 66"]There was NO public outcry over the bare breast, that is a numismatic urban legend. There has never been any contemporary correspondance found complaining about the breast, no letters to the editor in periodicals, no mention in congressional records, no mention in any mint correspondence. In the mint correspondence that does exist concerning the changes in the design between the type I and type II the breast is never mentioned but it does mention the other changes to be made and includes the instruction that no other changes were to be made to the designs except for the ones discussed. The addition of the chain mail was strictly MacNeil's idea and it was done against orders from the Mint.[/QUOTE]
