Commems Collection Classic: US Commemorative Coins With Weaponry Depicted

Here's another Index to a set of classic-era US commemorative coins that fit the topic or theme of "Coins with Weaponry" over in the "Post Your..." forum area. I count 16 such coins within the classic series - more than I realized! Have I missed any?

As most anything can be used as a weapon, I included only coins with items whose primary purpose was to be used as a weapon. For example, I did not consider the scythe depicted on the 1920 Maine Half Dollar (being held by the farmer in the depiction of Maine's State Seal) to be a weapon - absent of Jason, it's a farming tool.

The following Index provides quick access to my brief posts about the "weapon coins" of the classic US commemorative coin series.
