Commissioners reviewed reverse designs for the four American Innovation dollars scheduled to be released in 2028 and obverse and reverse designs for the 2027 issues in the Comic Art Coin and Medal Program.
The Small Head/Long Neck Wass Molitor eagle was struck using the former 1850 $10 Dubosq & Company dies. The “0” in 1850 was drilled out of the die, plugged, and re-engraved with a 2, and “DUBOSQ & Co.” was re-engraved with “W.M. & Co.” on Liberty’s coronet. Between 20 and 30 examples are known, ten of which were recovered from the S.S. Central America. The finest example known is a choice AU, and any original high-end XF or AU coin would be a member of the condition census.
