    I too, like learning about why a particular coin was minted or why it was no longer minted as commerce evolved.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Are there no letters or other correspondence stating exactly who designed the 1793 Half Cent? I have read as many as 4 different people may have designed this coin, with Joseph Wright being the most selected as the possible designer. With all the letters and paperwork kept by the government, it's odd that no one seems to know for sure. Just curious. Oh, if Roger were here? lol

    What would they be worth in today’s money, about 50 cents?
