argentum1 Posts: 602 Registered: Apr 2004	posted 05-24-2010 10:02 AM Some time ago someone had asked something about a piece of silver marked with or had an engraving of a Standing Indian holding a Tomahawk in one hand and what appears to be a bow in the over hand. While searching through the internet for early american coin dies I came across this site. 'machin's 1787 patterns'. Thought it might have some interest to whoever asked the original question. Sorry about the 'something', 'some time ago' and 'someone'. IP: Logged

ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 11-02-2021 11:00 AM Above is another image of an early coin whose design may have been done by Jacob Perkins. This one has the Native American holding a bow and arrow. This coin is a 1787 1C Massachusetts Cent. [This message has been edited by ahwt (edited 11-02-2021).] IP: Logged
