I just got re-hired by the Census! let's see some coins from Census years!

Here’s 1820 and 1920 together on my newly-acquired Maine Centennial.

Pre Cud variety.........

DDO-006.

The 1890 census is the one that burned in archives fire in the 1930s - something like 98-99% was lost.

And more importantly how many congressional seats for any one state

Don't believe I have seen 1870 yet...

Sold for $86 on eBay, recently. For those keeping count.

Here's 2010!

PCGS Pop = 3, only one finer:

Top coin in this date with a CAC. PCGS pop ONLY 2, only 1 finer as MS66RD, but that one does NOT have a CAC!

How about a 1960 US Mint medal series?

Its name: "1960 Original Ike Dollars" or "Original Ikes" or "Class 2 Eisenhower Appreciation Medals" or "President of the United States (POTUS) Appreciation Medals".

Stuck by the US Mint in 1960 using existing US silver dollar size planchets (0.900 Ag and .100 Cu) from its stockpile of silver inventory. Obverse and reverse were designed by Frank Gasparro. Manufactured for exclusive use for President Eisenhower and awarded/gifted by him personally or through his direction.

The complete Eisenhower Appreciation Medal series (Class 1 through Class 4) has been unknown until research findings were published in 2014. Imagine that, 56 years before the entire series was documented (with exact mintages, US Treasury destruction inventory, designer, purpose, etc.). These US Mint medals are elusive to locate in high grades and many have been damaged through cleaning/mishandling or destroyed for its silver content. While others are held as presidential artifacts by original recipients or their heirs.

Class 2 1960 Eisenhower Appreciation Medals awarded/gifted during Ike's goodwill tours (Class 1 Eisenhower Appreciation Medal is the diameter of a US silver half dollar (upper right)).

The 1960 Paris Summit medal is the most intriguing. Awarded/gifted during the President Eisenhower's visit to Paris, France. The Paris Summit was doomed to failure as the U-2 incident and its cover-up unfolded. Research shows that of the original 1,200 minted, only 709 survived the destruction by the US Treasury Department prior to the end of Dwight D. Eisenhower's second term as POTUS. This is a true cold war presidential numismatic artifact.

The 1960 Japan medal is the rarest with only the 86 survived the destruction by the US Treasury Department prior to the end of Dwight D. Eisenhower's second term as POTUS. The original mintage was 500. Due to safety and security concerns of the presidential visit, President Eisenhower cancelled his tour of Japan. The Japanese Government could not guarantee President Eisenhower's safety due to the civil unrest stemming from revised security treaty between Japan and the United States, titled the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security.

The so-called Hagerty Incident. President Eisenhower's Press Secretary James Hagerty arrived at Tokyo's Haneda Airport to make advance preparations for the President's impending arrival. The protesters surrounded the car, rocking it back and forth for more than an hour while standing on its roof, chanting anti-American slogans and singing protest songs. Hagerty had to be rescued by a US Marines military helicopter with photographers documenting the end of the Hagerty Incident.

These medals are rich in US history from the year 1960. The Class 1, 3, and 4 are also interesting. The Class 5 was President Kennedy's appreciation medals. No other POTUS had appreciation medals manufactured by the US Mint.

Dated in a census year, but probably not made in one.
