I was reading the newspapers of 1909. Why? Researching the V.D.B. controversy on the release of the 1909 Lincoln cent. First hand perspective from 1909.

Great info @DrDarryl
It's funny, I was searching 1909 newspapers yesterday also.

@DrDarryl ... Thank you for a very interesting post. While most of us are familiar with the issue, it is most interesting to read the printed articles of the time. It provides a unique perspective of societal opinion, sort of a time capsule of human values. In today's America, such an issue would not be even noticed. Cheers, RickO
Great info. Does anybody have an image of the $10 bills they mentioned that have the upside down eagle donkey image on them? I never heard of such a thing before, so I tried doing a google image search and couldn’t find one
