I found this while searching eBay and thought I would share it.

Back before television and mass media, sometimes news traveled slowly. That was the case with the famous 1883 no cent nickel that soon became used to defraud. In those days, news traveled from town to town through newspapers and it could be a great length of time for some to get news, especially for people living in the west. New issue coins and paper money could be troubling if merchants were not familiar with their release and design details. This 1850 newspaper, NEW-YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE, published an illustration of the new twenty dollar Liberty gold coin. This was also at a time prior to photography in publishing, so having an image to publish required an artist's illustration.

This is a great item for competitive exhibitors as it can be challenging to find complimentary items to pair with U.S. coins. This is equally as interesting as it is important to collectors of these types of coins. Numismatic ephemera collectors will also find this item intriguing. The report is listed in a column under Commercial & Money Matters. On Wednesday March 21, 1850, Thompson's Bank Note Reporter published a facsimile image of the new coin and this New York paper picked up the story and image and passed it along to its readers.
