As it was the exposed breast on the real one caused the mint to cover it up It wasn't the mint that did the covering, that was done by the designer and AGAINST the instructions from the mint. Covering the breast was not the result of prudery, it was most likely a result of the approaching war. The type one design shows Liberty taking the first steps in preparation for war (uncovering her shield), but going into battle bare chested would be a little foolish, so McNeil gave her a protective coat of chain mail. As far as I know no documentation has ever appeared, either from officials or the public, that objected to the bare breast. In the documents between the mint and the designer many changes are discussed but not covering the breast. Report this Post to the Staff

KayC New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 1:21 pm Great to all you for taking time help. This enormous coin was gifted to my husband in Italy 35 years ago and has in a drawer ever since. Much appreciated to everyone on this site. Now I tell my family it is not real, but really pretty and as replicas haven't much value it will remain in the drawer. KayC Report this Post to the Staff
