    ...and all of the Washington-Lafayette dollars were struck on this date in 1899.

    This should be appropriate. Just an old gas token. image

    Unfortunately, elementary school history has lost sight of the fact that Washington was a dedicated Freemason.

    Washington and his beloved friend Lafayette on obverse. Yorktown surrender scene on reverse. Minted in 1881. "Yorktown Surrender Centennial medal". Baker 452C, white metal, 50.90mm(somewhat larger than a silver dollar and in high relief especially the obverse).

    Doesn't the obverse look like a US commerative coin that was made years later?

    Aegis3 - that "Adaptation of the Washington before Boston medal on the obverse" is really cool.

    coindeuce - that Masonic medal is awesome.

    Here's one of mine: 1796 Washington Repub. Ameri. Medal PF64 [NGC] Garrett

    George Washington died before his time from the quack
    treatment of bleeding. It was thaught to rid the body of poison.
    Jefferson and Adams died the same way on July 4, 1826.
    Both men were bled to death on orders to their own caretakers.
