Good idea Jimmy, although there are several truly great Native American leaders and picking one could be seen as slighting another. Personally I’d vote first for Red Cloud, who actually won a war against the US, or Osceola, a great leader who was betrayed, but as I said there are lots of others. And Chuck, I agree with you about the silver halves. Properly done (no endless sets like in the ’30s or obscure events) it could be a great series. But maybe it wouldn’t be profitable enough for the mint!

I find myself a tradionalist when it comes to coin design. For over two hundred years most U.S. coins had their denomination spelled out. Beginning in 2000 the Sacagawea Dollar was designated by the symble $1. Now it seem the U.S. Mint designs most of the Commemorative coins with a $1 or $5 instead of spelling it out. I have decided that I will no longer purchase any mint coins of any kind that use a symble for their value instead of spellng it out. There are a great many great coins from 19th and 20th centurys that will give me more joy and be a better value. Bring back the silver commemorative half dollar!!!
