Two old ladies

[Wgan]

I went out for a few hours at low tide today got a small handful of clad and the two old ladies saved the day. I’m hoping the Indian will come clean so I can get a date.

Hope they clean up for you. Nice work.

My understanding is it’s lady liberty with a headdress on but could be wrong

Holy smokes learn something new every day on here!

From the gov/mint website:

“The obverse design is actually Lady Liberty with an Indian chief's headdress rather than an actual Native American, as one might assume.”

Congrats on the old coins!

The coin design is of the designers daughter wearing a Indian head dress
