She was also the first African American to earn an international pilot’s license. Coleman was born on January 26, 1892 in Atlanta, Texas during a time of overt racism and segregation laws. After being refused admission into every U.S. flying school she approached, Coleman learned French. She traveled to Paris in 1920 to attend the well-known Caudron Brothers’ School of Aviation in Le Crotoy, France. She was the only student of color in her class. On June 15, 1921, Coleman received her international pilot’s license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. She returned to the U.S. and performed in her first airshow in September 1922. She became known for “loop-the-loops” and making a figure 8. Coleman used her growing fame to tour the country, giving flight lessons, performing in shows, and encouraging African Americans and women to learn how to fly. She also made a point of refusing to speak or perform anywhere that segregated or discriminated against African Americans. Bessie Coleman died on April 30, 1926 as a passenger in a practice flight for a celebration in Jacksonville, Florida. Her flying career, although brief, inspires many young African Americans to pursue the field of aviation. Her legacy continues through the establishment of aviation clubs and tributes, including the 1995 U.S. postal stamp issued in her honor.* American Women Quarter Program Information 2023 Honorees: Bessie Coleman – first African American and first Native American woman pilot Edith Kanaka’ole – indigenous Hawaiian composer, custodian of native culture and traditions Eleanor Roosevelt – first lady, author, and civil liberties advocate Jovita Adar – Mexican-American journalist, activist, teacher, and suffragist Maria Tallchief – America’s first prima ballerina 2022 Honorees: Maya Angelou – celebrated writer, performer, and social activist Dr. Sally Ride – physicist, astronaut, educator, and first American woman in space Wilma Mankiller – first woman elected principal chief of the Cherokee Nation Nina Otero-Warren – a leader in New Mexico’s suffrage movement and the first woman superintendent of Santa Fe public schools Anna May Wong – first Chinese American film star in Hollywood 2024 Honorees: Patsy Takemoto Mink – first woman of color to serve in Congress.

Shipping Policy About eBay Standard Envelope Service: Like many eBay sellers we ship small coin orders (three or less coins weighing under three ounces) in 2x2 flips using the "eBay Standard Envelope" shipping service. This service uses the United States Postal Service's (USPS) First-Class mailing system - which by default processes envelopes through high-speed sorters. This can, and does, damage coins. It also can have other shipping issues, such as delayed delivery. If you DO NOT wish your coins to go through high-speed sorters, you can add a small additional fee ($0.48) to your purchase and we will forward this payment to the USPS for your item as a service for our customers. Your order will not be run through high-speed postal sorters while still benefiting from eBay Envelope's tracking service! This method is highly recommended by us AND meets all of the USPS requirements for sending coins though their system. You will receive your coins on-time and in great shape! Equally important is that we strongly believe in paying our fair share for our Postal Worker's work. If you wish this service for your order, please make a note in the "Buyers Comments" section of your order or choose "First Class" shipping at checkout. Combined Shipping Discount: We cheerfully Combine Shipping charges for all the items in your shopping cart at the time of purchase. This is done automatically for you in eBay's checkout procedure. Once an item or invoice is paid, we can no longer offer a Combined Shipping discount. Combined shipping is NOT available on items that include free shipping. International Shipping: We will ship allowed items internationally and only through eBay's Global Program. There is no free option for International shipping. We ship on regular business days. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will be shipped on the next business day. Orders over $200 require signature on delivery. About us Roaming Revs are women clergy who sell coins and curiosa found, made, or purchased "on the journey" from regular folks and/or small businesses. We do this in order to support everyone's work and ability to earn an income. Please visit our store and follow us for amazing items as we find them! General Information All coins are guaranteed authentic - bid with confidence. Coins and items auctioned here are pre-owned (unless otherwise noted), left in the same condition as they were found, and sold as-is. Please see photos, description and/or ask questions. We do not guarantee grades from Third Party Grading Services. All descriptions offered are our opinions only. Sending a coin to a Grading Service is done at your risk, discretion, and cost(s). If you are looking for a certified coin, we do offer a variety of coins certified by PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. *We believe in full disclosure by way of a detailed description, and large clear photographs when possible. Many less expensive and bulk items make more sense to use a "sample" photograph rather than photographing each individual lot. If the description above specifies that a "Stock Photo" is used, be aware that the items you will receive are in like and kind to the images provided, but WILL NOT be the exact same items.
