Answers1. 1793 Head facing Left US Half Cent2. The Morgan dollar3. $263.70 13 x $5.6804 = $73.8452 12 x $2.2721 = $27.2652 35 x $4.6453 = $162.5855 Total = $263.6959 or rounded off to the nearest cent $263.70 4. 1919 S 5a. True 5b. True 5c. False ( Philadelphia and New Orleans ) 5d. False ( it was minted in Dahlonega Georgia ) 6. 1838 Mint Drop - Loco Foco Hard Times Token 7. pattern 8. Jefferson nickels9. 1918 Illinois Centenial Commemorative Half Dollar and on the Reverse of the LP2 2009 Lincoln Cent10. False ( Some Jefferson nickels are very difficult to find with step detail, and they could grade in a very high uncirculated mint state and have absolutely no step detail at all. Two factors would be strike quality and the other the condition of the working dies that strike them. ) LATE EDIT Interesting that we all got different but very close answers to the math bullion question. My answer will be considered the closest though .....  I have been playing plumbers helper, after my morning school bus runs and checked on this in between. It's back to work then back to the bus. I will be bushed but will post again later. You guys who won can PM me and mcshilling, I will send you something as well so PM me too with your mailing addresses. This is over, and thanks for the congrats, I hope that in someway I have helped out some collectors in more than a few of those 4000 posts.

Missed by 1 minute, do have a ? #3 you have $263.70 your answer is final BUT, when I did it useing $31.47 and this site http://www. (124) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com/coins/silver_coin_calculator.html I came up with $73.99 for 13 quarters, $27.32 for 12 dimes and $164.21 for 35 halfs, total $264.21 Just wondering? |

vb3347 and jdavis18 are so close I will just address the envelopes I have put the #1 and #2 prizes in without looking at which is which and it really doesn't matter anyway since all of these lots are about the same. Left clearly falls in third but was quick at the draw. I did make up a 4th set of the same for mcshilling for giving it the old college try. I went to a site that keeps current with spot and it also updates at the same time the value of silver content in US coins by type.At the time, those were the figures in my post for the values of the coins. I think that all our answers were probably correct depending on how the math was done and by how many decimals were used. It was all close enough for horseshoes. You can now safely buy and sell your silver coins on Pawn Stars without getting ripped off.  I'll leave this topic up until you all get your prizes. I have them all packed and addressed, all I have to do is go to the PO. Thanks for playing.

Well, I am glad they arrived and glad you all like them. They were not the greatest coins but I suppose they were fun to get in the mail. I think everyone had fun taking the quiz. Let's hope the last prize makes it to Canada and I will be all the more happy. This was a good contest because everyone won! |
