Improved to Good Article status by SounderBruce (talk). Self-nominated at 20:10, 8 July 2017 (UTC).
- GA promotion recent, article within policy (including in respect to reliability of sources and their paraphrasing). Both hooks are verified by the sources and interesting (can't decide which one is more interesting). Image confirms to policy. QPQ done. Dahn (talk) 10:50, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- I personally find the cost most interesting, to throw in my two cents! Malinaccier (talk) 03:43, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, I came by to promote ALT1, but the hook fact here and in the article is not accurate per the source. It's not just expensive because of stitching the seal on both sides, but because George Washington's profile must face the same direction on each side. I think the article and hook would be improved with that information. Yoninah (talk) 18:21, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
