Designed by James Barton Longacre, the initial motif featured rays between the stars on the reverse. This design was employed only in 1866 and the early portion of 1867, at which point it was replaced by the Shield type without reverse rays. We have heard stories claiming that the Mint's decision to abandon the rays was due to public outrage in the North, where the design was perceived as being superficially similar to the Stars and Bars emblem of the recently defeated Southern Confederacy. As intriguing as this story is, it is more likey that the rays created too cluttered of a design that caused excessive wear and breakage among working dies.Store CategoriesStores HomeColonialsHalf CentsLarge CentsSmall CentsTwo-Cent PiecesThree-Cent SilversNickelsHalf DimesDimesTwenty-Cent PiecesQuarter DollarsHalf DollarsSeated DollarsTrade DollarsMorgan DollarsPeace DollarsOne Dollar GoldTwo Fifty GoldThree Dollar GoldFive Dollar GoldTen Dollar GoldTwenty Dollar GoldCommemorative GoldThree-Cent NickelsOther
