GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 02/26/2009 12:38 pm The Controversial Six Cents Piece In 1912 Woodrow Wilson spearheaded a new denomination to be minted. The US Mint was given the task of producing a six cent piece. This led to much controversy with the majority led Republican Congress (Wilson was a Democrat). There were a few specimens secretly minted in San Fransisco under the closer supervision of David Carlson, the current head of the US Mint. 25 pieces were minted but only 3 of which have survived. 2 are held in private collections and one is in the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library currently on display in his home town of Staunton, Virginia.

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/26/2009 12:56 pm Nice photoshop work...the S in SIX was copied from CENTS. I think I'd pay $.06 for a 1912-S, even if the back said ONE Report this Post to the Staff
