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 21-carat product line was Christopher Bechtler’s last innovation, issued sometime after the summer of 1836. In the Kagin-10 pairing, the shared reverse frequently appears with three radial cracks. Two examples examined by the author appear to be from the die’s terminal state, exhibiting a large cud at 2:00 on the reverse. There are somewhere around 30 known examples, with a handful of mint state specimens, one of which – in the terminal die state - is choice BU.
