Hi User:Wehwalt, about this source: "Maine Statehood 100th Anniversary 50-Cent Piece". Retrieved July 30, 2016 – via ProQuest.(subscription required), link seems dead now, same thing happen before at another article and you fixed with another source, could you fix this one also?--Jarodalien (talk) 12:07, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

OK, done.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:28, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks User:Wehwalt, here's another part seems funny: about sketches, infobox said "based on sketches by an unknown artist", but at first paragraph of the lead, "following sketches by artist Harry Cochrane, from Monmouth, Maine", and at the start of section "Preparation": "...Sketches for a design were prepared by artist Harry Gardiner of Monmouth, Maine." So which one exactly?--Jarodalien (talk) 14:23, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

The numismatic sources say unknown, and someone added that after the FAC, it looks like. The Gardiner is a clear mistake based on the name of the town. So I've fixed it now.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:09, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
