Pilgrim Tercentenary half dollar

 * ... that the Pilgrim Tercentenary half dollar (pictured) was criticized for the cut of its jib?


 * ALT1:... that, in numismatics, "the age of innocence" ended with the Pilgrim Tercentenary half dollar (pictured)?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Brand-spanking new. Long enough be a factor of 10.  Written in a neutral manner, each paragraph is inline cited, and no copying, paraphrasing, or other copyvio concerns found.  I am going to approve ALT1 because I think it is catchier.  After reading the article the proposed hook is indeed interesting, but it didn't draw my curiosity as much until I had enough context to understand the non-sequitur.  The alt hook immediately drew me in.  However, if another reviewer or the promoting admin thinks otherwise, the original hook has also been checked and would be fine to use.  The Alt hook is of appropriate length, and can be directly attributed to a citation.  QPQ complete.  Image is in public domain, so no copyvio there.  This article was a delight to read and is highly informative.  It is well deserving of mainspace exposure.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 15:17, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Just for clarity: the original was a play on cut of one's jib. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:15, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
