John Adams And Other Coins

......posting pictures of them here will be the best way for ID'ing them and valuing them.

The 1899 and the 1908 are referred to as a Barber Half and could be worth several hundred dollars depending on condition.

Those words from Teddy Roosevelt highlighted
the fundamental mission of the

League was created with the purpose:
