What is the value for each of these coins nowadays? As a collector, how much are they worth? I have quite a few of each and I am interested in a figure. -- Jared [T]/ [+] 21:07, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Is there any reason to list a reference with minimal information, like this one, Breen, p. 582., when it seems like more information would be better? And what is the difference between a reference and a note? Arkmanda ( talk) 03:07, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
When reading this sentence, "Regardless of date of coining, each coin bears the dual date "1776-1976".", of seems redundant. Could it say "Regardless of the date coined, each coin bears the dual date "1776-1976"."? Should it be "dual dates"? and regarding the dates in quotation, "1776-1976", Why are the dates connected by a dash when the actual coin shows a dot? Arkmanda ( talk) 00:00, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
This is one aspect of the article I failed to mention during the review. Every example of the dual date is shown in the article with an en dash except the first occurrence in the lead. I did mean to inquire about this inconsistency. I think the MOS calls for the en dash, unless there is a better reason not to which eludes me at this time. Thanks for considering this aspect as well.

I have translated this article to Chinese Wikipedia here and promoted to FA status, and I want to thank User:Wehwalt for his effort to write this amazing article. -- Jarodalien ( talk) 08:34, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
