Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 11:11 am These should be the "War of 1812 Bicentennial" coins since they are dated 2012 and the Five references 1812 - 2012. The flag that became the Star Spangled Banner didn't even exist yet, and the poem wouldn't be written for two more years. If you do want to reference the flag it's the 198th anniversary of the Star Spangled Banner and I hate all these odd anniversaries we have been celebrating for the military. The 38th anniversary for the Korean War made a little sense but most of the others are silly. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189340 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 3:26 pm I never know how I truly feel until I see the designs on a struck coin. The artwork is always deceiving to my eyes.
