I liked the Susie B.’s. They were Constitutionally legal, unlike those Federal Reserve Notes.
I dislike the term “Junk Silver” to describe old coins that are melted because their silver is more valuable than their face value. I would prefer “constitutional silver” – but that doesnt seem be catchy.
As I recall, the S.B. Anthony dollars were originally supposed to be polygons instead of round, so that visually impaired people could tell the difference between them and quarters by feel.
But then, to save money, they decided to screw the blind and make them round anyway.
BTW, the Sacajawea dollars carry a generic Native American woman, because she died shortly after the expedition, and before anyone could paint her portrait. By contrast, we have nine portraits of Pocahontas.
