Double eagle coin history

Please write a 1,500-word essay on the topic that matches your last name alphabetically (i.e., if your last name is McCosker, you write on topic 2). Your essay will be graded on two general areas: written content and writing conventions. The conventions refer to the spelling, grammar, citations, capitalization, and format of your writing. The content refers to the style, topic, thesis, supporting evidence and sophistication of your argument. I wrote the questions in an open-ended manner so that you will have room to express yourself freely while (hopefully) avoiding the plague that is internet plagiarism. You will need to express an opinion with these questions. Please write your essay in Google Docs. Click on the link for a tutorial (Links to an external site.) if you are unfamiliar with Google Docs. Upload the link to complete the assignment, and please be sure to change the settings so that I will be able to open your document. You must cite three sources, and your citations should follow the format of the Chicago Manual of Style. The manual is widely available in bookstores, libraries and online.
