<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8396416, member: 101855&quot;]So far as I&#039;m concerned, this quote by George Washington in his 1792 message to Congress settles the issue:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>“There has been a small beginning in the coinage of half dismes, the want of small coins in circulation calling for first attention to them.” </i></p><p><br /></p><p>As the chief operating officer for the United States Federal Government at the time, I&#039;ll take his word for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>But, if you want to argue for the 1793 Chain Cent, go ahead. This is an example of the Sheldon 4, the Periods Variety. My grade is Fine - 15. The NGC grade is VF-30. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1489859[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
