Peter Cross designed reverse of 1849 Type I.

I understand that my great-great-great grandfather Peter Cross designed the reverse of the 1849 Type I $1 gold coin. Bill S. (talk) 19:33, 6 October 2015 (UTC) (Bill Stephens)[reply]

He had a role in it, depending what book you read. However, Longacre is given credit for the overall design.--Wehwalt (talk) 07:41, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

dollar & Oz of gold

Why ten dollars have more than 1/2 Oz and 1$ less then 1/20 Oz of gold?Zutum (talk) 21:17, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because the denominations are purely arbitrary and are meaningless except to establish them as coins which many value more highly than medals.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:26, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it's a little bit unclear.Zutum (talk) 21:30, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The American Eagle gold coins trade by their weight. The face value is so much lower they are not spent. People are buying the gold, not the face value on the coins, and don't really care what that face value is because the coins will not be spent.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:44, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dates which the gold dollar was last struck question

In the article, it says >>>The regular issue gold dollar was last struck in 1889; the following year, Congress ended the series.<<<

But I have an 1985 and a 1906 Liberty $20 Gold coin.

Are you sure those dates are correct?
