Thanks for posting. I found this sentence the most interesting regarding the 1831 quarter redesign:

"Submitted to the president, through the department, and approved."

That is the first presidential approval given for a design change that I am aware of.

Was interested in the "death of Zebulon Pike" until I saw that it was the father of the man who discovered Pikes Peak, not Col. Pike. Had to google him to see that Col. Pike died in the War of 1812.
