I have a Harper’s ferry quarter and the building is completely melted on it. I was just wondering if it is worth anything?

I hate to sound like such a nerd but before the mint decided this did they take into account how the fireman’s living quarters was originally on the other side of the building? Currently it does look this way but before it was moved multiple times the smaller room was on the other side. The one’s who restored it were looking at a reverse image and built it the opposite way. If we want to go with the current look of which the background depicts, this is great but if we wanted to go with the historically accurate look, the mint will need to reverse the front doors around. Just saying.

I think it is David. He was convicted by the Commonwealth of Virginia for inciting a slave insurrection among other things. It’s a bit of a controversial time right now to print this one in the midst of racial tensions throughout the nation. But it runs deep into our cultural makeup. Was he a hero or villain? Hopefully it won’t stir the pot of hate. Hopefully it will incite harmony before I slide it down the snack machine.

John Brown was convicted of treason and hung. Is this the first time a coin has contained the name of such a person?
