My neck is not as flexible as it used to be.. Do you know the "story" behind this coin? 1) The only coin that has advertising it - the makers of the bell: Pass and Stow There is also a commemorative coin with this bell. 2) The designer, John Sinnock, knew of Franklin's dislike for the eagle as a symbol for the US so he deliberately make the eagle tiny. Not proved but an interesting tidbit.. May you enjoy it! Report this Post to the Staff
