commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12255 Posts	Posted 09/15/2025 08:04 am In my recent post about President Herbert Hoover's veto of the Gadsden Purchase 75th Anniversary Half Dollar (read it here: What If? 1930 Gadsden Purchase - Hoover's Veto Message), I mentioned two contemporary commemorative coin proposals that were stalled indirectly due to the veto. These weren't the only coin bills to be impacted by Hoover's veto, so I thought I would return to the topic to list each of the contemporary bills that failed in the immediate wake of President Hoover's veto. - What If? 1930 Lewis And Clark Expedition 125th Anniversary - What If? 1930 Massachusetts Bay Colony Tercentenary - What If? 1931 Los Angeles 150th Anniversary - What If? 1931 Yorktown Surrender 150th Anniversary Note: Coin proposals marked by an were listed in the Gadsden Purchase post.* Hoover's veto can be likened to throwing a pebble in still water - its ripple effects extended out beyond the initial impact.

Alas the flood gates opened during FDR's administration. Thank you for sharing your scholarship. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
