SoCalGeocoins Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) THIS IS THE FIRST COIN DESIGNED BY FURBRAT AND BREWER CHEF. IT HAS THE GADSDEN FLAG DON'T TREAD ON ME RATTLESNAKE ON THE BACK AND THE BETSY ROSS FLAG ON THE FRONT..HERE IS A LITTLE HISTORY OF BOTH: The Betsy Ross flag was adopted June 14, 1777 (Flag Day). The Continental Congress on this day resolved, "That the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes alternating red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation". The circular design was by George Washington, Francis Hopkins and Betsy Ross. The Congress however did not specify an arrangement for the stars in the canton, as a result there are many variations in the flags that followed until 1912. The Gadsden flag is a historical American flag. It is comprised of a yellow field with a depiction of a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike with the legend "DONT TREAD ON ME" positioned below the rattlesnake. It is named after Christopher Gadsden. The symbol of the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake as a symbol of the American colonies can be traced back to the publications of Benjamin Franklin. In 1751, he made the first reference to the rattlesnake in a satirical commentary published in his Pennsylvania Gazette. It had been the policy of Britain to send convicted criminals to America, and Franklin suggested that they thank the British by sending rattlesnakes to England. ALSO...The first Marines that enlisted were from Philadelphia and they carried drums painted yellow, depicting a coiled rattlesnake with thirteen rattles, and the motto "Dont Tread On Me." This was the first mention of the Gadsden flag's symbology. This coin is available at Cointracking.com under Dont Tread On Me. Edited February 1, 2007 by SoCalGeocoins Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I had to do the homework, but yes this coin is trackable. Please post this information as well as size, metal, price, shipping. It will help your sales if buyers don't have to go searching for the information. It also helps if the moderator doesn't have to spend the time googling to find out if the sale is allowable in these forums. Quote Link to comment
