fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 02/24/2026 2:40 pm There IS a groan-worthy joke running around about the coin's design. At the risk of getting pummeled, here it is: The reverse is a smaller version of the Mayflower on the Pilgrim Half. We know it's a smaller version, because is says "Mayflower Compact" and that is below the ship's design, so it's obviously the subcompact version. The full sedan size Mayflower is on the half. I'll tiptoe out quietly now . . . Report this Post to the Staff

But apparently he designed the Pilgrim Tercentenary half dollar and I guess they used the likeness of the ship he designed for the half dollar on this quarter, which is why his initials are on it Oh! And on that coin, his initial D (and not initials CED) appears on the observe below Bradford's Elbow.
