All the stunning allegorical figures were replaced with "dead white guys". 1909 is when the decline of coinage began, Lincoln honored 44 years after his death, to Kennedy, on the 50¢ piece barely waiting until his body was interred.
Next step?
A living God politician on our coins. *sigh*
My favorite coin is the Standing Liberty Quarter 1917 Type 1.
Have an AU but keeping an eye out for a reasonable MS.
