Production: this sentence had me muddled: "The Mint struck 35,000 plus assay pieces in March and June in anticipation of further orders, doing so as the Philadelphia Mint shut down in the summer in that era before air conditioning, but as none were forthcoming, the additional 25,000 were melted". I

There are issues arising from image overcrowding. For example, the Zerbe portrait, supposedly placed in the "Inception" section, appears in my display under the "Design" heading, with the top of the photo extending across the wording. I don't know how this can be fixed other than by reducing the

Meeker appears by author's privilege, I am afraid! I tried for an image of him there but my expert didn't have anything useful. Just as well. I've made the recommended changes and withdrawn the GAN (I thought it had passed). Thank you for the

can follow what happened, but bthe detil about the lack of air-conditioning (or "air cooling" as it was known then) is a bit distractinng and, I think, unnecessary. Recommend delete all between "doing so" and "air conditioning".

This article is about... a fairly obscure gold commemorative, the only "two-headed" US coin, and about the preparation for which not much is known, due to lack of surviving records. Still, it's an interesting tale, featuring

Note deleted, and I've rephrased around the explorers's. The article simply doesn't have a lot of vertical space, and Zerbe needs to be where we talk about him, more or less. Thank you for the review.--

As it is what the profits (if any) from the coin went towards, I'd like to keep it. The rest, I've followed your recommendations, except as noted above. Thank you for the image review.--

We are told, later, that 40,003 were melted. The extra 15,000 melts are not identified until the next section, but here I'd say something like: "of which a total of 40,003 were melted".

The image overcrowding is likely to be the only significant issue – the others are easily dealt with. Welcome back, Messrs Zerbe and Meeker (he crops up everywhere).
178:"a fair to be held in Portland, located along the party's route." Not clear if it's the fair or Portland that's on the route; a little rewording would clarify. 292: 237:: The images are better deployed; that of Sacajawea seems only marginally relevant and could be dropped without detriment. Otherwise, all well. 296: 280: 274: 40: 525:
Add |lastauthoramp=1 to the bibliography templates for your multi-author works to get them to match the format used in your citations.

This reads awkwardly; is there any reason for the colon? I'd drop that and just use a conjunction to link the two parts together.
195:"The 1905 long traded for less..." Wording could do with clarification, e.g. "The 1905 coin traded for many years for less..." 584: 252:
Thanks for the review and the support. I will think over the image, but that is where the money went, what there was of it.--

are fine. How would you feel about moving their relative positions, having Lewis on the right and Clark on the left?
348: 289:- On my laptop this is sandwiching with the infobox. Since we have images of both Lewis and Clark, do we need this? 185:"Numismatic references that discuss the matter..." – we usually identify our sources; any reason for this form? 514:
Details of the preparation of the commemorative dollar are lost: the Mint destroyed many records in the 1960s.
369:- Fine, though I agree with Brian that we could possibly lose this. Anywho, do we have a link for Cooper? — 100:, numismatic promoter, who's mostly remembered positively these days but who was controversial in his time 389: 363:- Fine (although I'd be explicit and say "undetermined" for authorship before adding the conjecture) 357:- Fine (although I'd be explicit and say "undetermined" for authorship before adding the conjecture) 565: 533: 384: 354: 310:
