Panama-Pacific commemorative coin issue

[edit]

The Panama-Pacific octagonal $50 piece

  • Wow, what an article. Comprehensive, well-written and well-referenced (AGF on offline sources). Hook is cited, image is OK, QPQ done, but a question: in the Background section it says that there were other coins "struck by Augustus Humbert for the U.S. Assay Office at San Francisco" that were octagonal. would that not invalidate the hook's assertion? Or is it because they were not official federal coinage? If so, perhaps some tweak of the phrasing (adding "official" or "federal" perhaps) might be necessary to avoid confusion.

They were not authorized by Congress, and therefore were not "money" in a certain legal sense. I'll tweak it. Thank you for the kind words--Wehwalt (talk) 14:35, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
Following your clarification, this is good to go. Constantine 16:27, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
