KevinH Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 11:41 pm Hello, all! I am putting together some research on how to make some sub collections of "coins of the founding fathers" (i.e. coins depicting the likenesses of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and/or the Constitution). This would include, as far as my preliminary research goes, Washington (constitutional convention delegate and an original delegate to the 2nd Continental Congress (CC) before he got appointed General), John Adams (2nd CC), Thomas Jefferson (2nd CC), Franklin (both events), Madison (Constitutional Convention), and Caesar Rodney (2nd CC and the only other guy I can identify on our coinage to serve in this capacity besides the above ones... he's on the back of the Delaware quarter). Just realized that there are not one but TWO modern US coins with the same person on both the observe and reverse. But I may be missing some. So the first person to correctly identify these coins wins all of Jbucks' Ike dollars! HINT: it's not Ike. Edited by KevinH 01/18/2015 11:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Washington is on the front and back of the NJ and SD State Quarters and the front and back of the Mt Rushmore ATB Quarter. Then there is Lincoln where it also happens three times. On the front and back of the Memorial cent, the 2009 LP2, and LP3 cents. I think the only other case where it happens on a US coin isn't a modern. Lafayette appears on the obverse and reverse of the Lafayette dollar. Edited by Conder101 01/19/2015 01:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
KevinH Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 10:25 am Yeah, I was thinking the NJ and SD quarters, and totally forgot the ATB Rushmore. Does SD put anything but Rushmore on stuff? Report this Post to the Staff
