Politics

There have been several instances in our history where one person served as a kingmaker — or, in this case, a President maker.

In Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court decided the 2000 Election.

Andrew Jackson thought he had the 1824 Election won — until Henry Clay intervened.

Alexander Hamilton’s machinations helped take down John Adams, elect Thomas Jefferson, and anger Aaron Burr.

Read an excerpt from “Nixon In New York” about Richard Nixon being in Dallas on the same day that JFK was assassinated.

The Eisenhower dollar was the culmination of a long-running battle over the use of silver in coins.

The introduction of the U.S. Trade Dollar was probably the least objectionable thing about the Coinage Act of 1873.

I love early commemorative U.S. coins. These are some of my favorites and the stories behind them.

Why doesn’t Martin Luther King, Jr., have a U.S. Mint-issued coin honoring his life and commemorating his legacy?

This two-headed silver round really captures the craziness and uncertainty in the weeks following the 2000 Presidential Election.
