    Cool photo, but I can't imagine there were any draped bust coins circulating in 1928.

    That must be like a week's pay for a lot of people back then.

    I am willing to bet that during the depression people spent whatever they could find, food was more important than a collection of draped bust coins
    regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything

    Maybe, but 1928 was a year before the depression.

    To do it right, we'd need to know the date of all the coins shown so that coins of the same age in 1928 could be shown. For example, that 1964 cent would be replaced with an 1878 Indian cent, the 2001 Kentucky quarter with a 1915 Barber, etc.
