Trivia Question (Early Coinage)

[EVillageProwler]

The number and placement of the stars in the early years of our country was a big deal. The number of stars initially was used to indicate the number of states in the Union. And, depending on the number and the bust placement, we had a certain number of stars to the right of the bust and some to the left of the bust.

 

Name all the coins with an 8x5 star placement.

Yes, I'm an accountant, but auditors are the lowest form of the profession. They're the ones that "bayonet the wounded" after a battle.
