 RCC/And the Prosecution Calls "York County, Maine"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

While I’m sure the residents of York County, Maine were proud of their long history in 1936 (and are likely still proud of it today!), the founding of the county in 1636 is hardly an event of significant national importance.
As a collector of both U.S. commemorative coins and medals I would be interested in a U.S. Mint produced York County piece either way, but the rather dubious "national significance" of the event behind the coin makes for interesting "What if?" fodder for this collector.
