This article is about... a coin with P.T. Barnum on its face, which given the troubled commemorative coin market of the 1930s has led to the obvious description of buyers of this and other issues as suckers, born every minute. Given the scarcity of coin collectors these days, the "born every minute" is probably not accurate, anyway... Wehwalt ( talk) 12:57, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
Support on prose, sourcing and comprehensiveness. The usual standard for numismatic FACs; most informative, have made a few trivial edits. Ceoil ( talk) 06:50, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Background
to a group authorized by Congress— perhaps "to groups"?
Legislation
one of several commemorative coin bills to be considered on March 11, 1936— What were the others?
authorizing legislation placed no prohibition on this— Should this be "the authorizing..."?
six coinage bills being considered one after the other— What were the others?
Preparation
Design
Dealer B. Max Mehl, in his 1937 work on commemoratives— Any reason why this is not cited?
Production, distribution and collecting

Support: I glanced at this and ended up reading all of it. I particularly enjoyed the comments on the eagle! I could find nothing to criticise in the prose or comprehensiveness. Very nicely put together, and very readable. Sarastro ( talk) 17:32, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
Looking strong, but still need an image review. @ Usernameunique: Can I take your comments as having reviewed the sources for formatting and reliability? -- Laser brain (talk) 12:33, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
