a2labmom Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 I want to change my answer. Please ignore my earlier entry. That the 1900 Lafayette commemorative silver dollar was the first U.S. coin to bear the portrait of an American, and the first to bear the portrait of a President of the United States. Washington and Lafayette both appeared on the coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisfuccione Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Depends on what you call a U.S. coin. For a regular coin that would be a Lincoln cent. If you are including Commemorative coins The 1900 Lafayette Dollar would be it Are you including Hard time tokens or civil waar tokens] or how about pieces that were issused before the mint was established? If so there were items issed whith Washingtons Face on alot of them> CHRIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
