My Themed set on African Americans on U.S. Coins.


I had mentioned a while back that I was going to list a Registry Set on African Americans on U.S. Coins.
I listed what I had and to my way of thinking I need 3 more to finish the set.
The Jackie Robinson in MS
The Black Patriots in MS
The Little Rock in MS.
Not planning on including the gold Jackie Robinson $5 coin.

    Interesting... theme sets are cool, although they are necessarily personalized by the collector and usually only of passing interest to others. I have done one such themed set for my own satisfaction. Cheers, RickO

    Just going from memory here, doesn't the Columbia Commem (not Columbian) featurea black lady? I always assumed it was, maybe for no good reason.

    Dosn't the State quarter of Delaware have Rodney on horseback? Maybe the Jersey quarter? And I know your eyesite must be better than mine to make that out...

    Caeser Rodney wasn't black.

    GWB knocked balls around, and so did Bill Clinton, but I cannot say they approached the game with the same fervor that Ike did.

    Gerald Ford comes to mind, he is eligible (deceased) unlike GWB and Clinton, but I don't know of any plans to put him on a coin.

    I have the 2 Washington D.C. Quarters included in the set. I have an MS-66 in both P mint and D mint. As for the Jamestown and Delaware, I'll have to look into this. Have a set of Columbia, SC commems in MS-67 so covered on those if the representation of Liberty is indeed based on an African American woman. Thanks for looking and the comments.
