“Fort McHenry was first established as a national site on March 3, 1925.  After British forces burned buildings in Washington, D.C., they moved on to attack Baltimore, Maryland.  Francis Scott Key was a poet-lawyer on a truce ship near the fort as he saw the fort bombarded all through the night.” 

Moreover, “the next morning he saw that the flag was still flying over the fort, and was moved to pen the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner.”   Fort McHenry was named for James McHenry, the Nation’s second Secretary of War.” – usmint.gov

If at any time you feel a collector or dealer is being rude or unpleasant, kindly thank them for their time and remove yourself from their presence.  Take your coin elsewhere for another opinion.  Remember that it’s no more fun to be the giver of bad news than it is to be the receiver of it.

Start at a coin dealer or pawn shop nearby, and they’ll let you know immediately if it’s a coin worth sending off for grading.  Moreover, remember that not all collectors like the same errors and varieties.  There are many reasons to invest your time and energy in the coin collecting hobby.
