LeeG Valued Member United States 243 Posts	Posted 06/10/2015 9:53 pm Hi yotie. When I finish the quiz, I'll start on that one. Much more difficult. Report this Post to the Staff
LeeG Valued Member United States 243 Posts	Posted 06/11/2015 5:28 pm Which commemorative has a fleur-de-lis on its reverse? A. Roanoke Island B. Elgin C. Albany D. New Rochelle The Correct answer is "D", New Rochelle. "True, but if you consider that there are two varieties of the 1935 Boone -- one with a small "1934" on the reverse and one without it -- "8" would also be a correct answer!" I noticed that also but wanted to stick with the reference answer. I should have mentioned the Boone "small 34." Anthony de Francisci, the designer of the Peace silver dollar, also designed what commemorative. A. Illinois B. Panama-Pacific C. Maine D. Pilgrim Report this Post to the Staff

LeeG Valued Member United States 243 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 10:52 am Maine is the correct answer. Roger Burdette discovered that Harry H. Cochrane did the sketches for the coin.
