Louisiana Purchase Sesquicentennial half dollar[edit]

Nominator(s): Wehwalt (talk) 23:03, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about... a coin that never was, one of seven commemoratives to be vetoed by presidents. This one is interesting not only for a distant relationship to the Kennedy assassination through Clay Shaw, but because it was pushed by Eric P. Newman, long lived and giving numismatist and author who left money to help preserve numismatic knowledge at a time when coin collecting is not as popular as it once was.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:03, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – I can manage precisely one quibble: I think, but am not quite sure enough to change it myself, that in "Ryan mentioned a observance" the "a" should be "an". Happy to support. Clear, pithy, as well illustrated as I imagine is possible, and well and widely referenced. Tim riley talk 14:13, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
