Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 01/07/2019 10:16 pm Hempstead County, Arkansas is producing a bicentennial silver round. The obverse shows the dimensions of the county when it was created in 1818; the reverse shows the modern dimensions. Currently less than 80 are expected to be made.

Edit: from appearances, it seems that what is now Miller county was originally part of Hempstead county. I learned something today! I dont think that will make me put up the $50 for the silver round, though.

Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 01/08/2019 07:15 am It is my understanding that both Miller counties -- the original one, encompassing Bowie County, Texas -- as well as the current one, were originally part of Hempstead County. The modern border was used in the 1818 map to make the dimensions somewhat recognizable. Proceeds from the sales apply to the expenses of the Hempstead County bicentennial committee.
