Comments

Very nice article. As usual, there's little to quibble with.

Lede

• "The United States Sesquicentennial coin issue were..." reads like British English. Maybe "The United States Sesquicentennial coin issue consisted of..."?
• "specially-designed" I think when the adverb ends in "-ly", phrasal adjectives don't need a hyphen.
• "The quarter eagle was to a design by Sinnock." That might be a normal phrase in numismatics, but it sounds odd to me.

Design

• "jugate" could use a wiktionary link or some other explanation.
• "At the insistence of the Sesquicentennial Commission, the coins were minted in very shallow relief, and thus struck up poorly." Is there any evidence of why they insisted on this?

The source has only the bare facts. I've taken care of the others. Thanks for the review!--Wehwalt (talk) 13:44, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

• • Works for me. Passed! --Coemgenus (talk) 01:46, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
