This article is about… a coin issued for forty years, which served an important purpose in the first few years. It has left us with a small, rather beautiful coin, and its abolition led to a shift in a custom as it was often given as a Christmas gift, and when they stopped making them, the smallest remaining gold coin, the quarter eagle ($2.50) was given instead, and presumably the recipients didn't mind the substitution!

Solid work, great research and attention to detail as usual. Brianboulton ( talk) 23:09, 30 January 2014 (UTC) reply
Note -- As the interest in this seems to have slackened off, I'm about ready to promote it but one point first... While scanning for duplinks I noticed you seem to not only link James B. Longacre twice in successive sections but in effect to introduce him twice as "Chief Engraver" and "successor to Gobrecht", so you may want to rationalise that. Also, is capitalising "Chief Engraver" in one instance but not in another deliberate, like it's a title in one case but simply a position in the other?
