Actually CJJ III refers to Curtis James Jackson III

OK, 50 cent - the Franklin half - I get it!

This was mainly about his flying a kite in a storm.

You mean that's a myth?!? I want a refund on my public education!

I originally was going to have this hint read UFC, 1736.

That MIGHT have helped a tiny bit, but Google UFC 36 and see where THAT rabbit hole leads!

True. But, if you look at the C position, there's an extra coin, showing two letters (coins) in one square. That tells you which first letter is duplicated.

That's true if you use column/row coordinates, but unfortunately for me I was using row/column. What you call the "C" position I had as the "K" or "L" position. Initially I tried to solve the puzzle by saying that 3,1 was K or L and 3,2 was L or M - PLUS there was a mistake in the code that 3,1 should have been 1,3 in one instance. I knew I was VERY close but a few details didn't add up. It never occurred to me that Steve's grid and your hint #9 would provide the answer. It's obvious now, of course!

Well done!

And when I saw you had won, your Quality Posts showed 54 so you were legal. Now it's showing 51.


Apparently the quality of my posts is declining faster than the price of silver!

juzzyb => you don't get any posting-credit for any of the sub-folders within "Coin Community Family Stuff" (which includes the ever-popular Contests, Quiz & Giveaway threads) ...... plus, you don't get posting-credit for "General Discussion" which is a sub-folder in The General Numismatic Discussion Forums (NOTE => home to the greatest thread of all-time => "The Never-Ending Story")

... but I'm pretty sure that you get posting-credit everywhere else, because the topics are all money/coin-related

Posts in certain forums do not increase your post count. The contest forum is one of them.

Moe, I don't see how to send a PM. I sent a message via email. If you can't see the email I sent you or send me one through CC interface, let me know and we will figure out how to communicate!

PM through CCF = email.

Some users also have other users' email addresses, so those are emails, but not PM.

Don't know if anyone mentioned it... but he was elected as the President of Pennsylvania,From 1785 to 1788.

Here President meant Governor...
SO he did serve in political office.
oh, and he died from Syphilis
