JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 08/14/2025 09:07 am Never seen that one before. Wonder what the meaning was. Looks similar to the native on some of the post colonial issues. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6460 Posts	Posted 08/15/2025 01:09 am Nifty counterstamp, really quite elaborate. The object in the left hand is obviously an arrow, but what is the right hand holding/touching? A bow? Animal pelt? Tree trunk? Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 08/16/2025 1:12 pm It's perfectly centered. I am wondering who did it and any if at all, significance to that. The Wampanoag were the prominent tribe in that time period. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3625 Posts	Posted 08/17/2025 3:56 pm The downward-pointing spear tip sometimes is intended symbolism. If intended as symbolism, it can represent either peaceful intent or defeat. A much-debated example is James Earle Fraser's "End of the Trail." Given the date of the coin, this may be a political statement about what became the Trail of Tears. Edited by fortcollins 08/17/2025 3:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
