The "almost" capital of Missouri... Minting gold coins...
Item # 700613
November 25, 1820
NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Nov. 25, 1820 Featured is a nice report on the United States Mint about to mint half eagle ($5) coins in gold. Photos note details.
Also inside: "History, Literature, etc. of Hayti".
The back page has a curious article headed: "Missouri" beginning: "The temporary seat of government is fixed at Cote Sans Dessein, a village on the Missouri river opposite the mouth of the Osage. It will probably become the fixed capital of the state..." with more.
This would not happen, as Jefferson City would be selected instead.
Sixteen pages, 9 1/4 by 6 inches, very nice condition.
As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
Complete in 16 pages, 9 3/4 by 6 1/4 inches, nice condition.
