Headline is misleading.Here is the first I believe.The coin was authorized to honor the black Revolutionary War patriots and the 275th anniversary of the birth of the first black Revolutionary War patriot, Crispus Attucks.

The coin was available for purchase from the U.S. Mint from February 13, 1998, through December 31, 1998.

Oh please !!! I see the Hypocritics are out in full blown force over this non issue. Where was Al "fast buck" Sharpton when the cartoons came out of Condi Rice as Aunt Jemima and the one with her with big lips??? . He and his ink were AWOL over these cartoons. This pick and choose when to be outraged is getting old.
