Ok, time to give a big hint. It's a classic and only one guess has the right year but managed to miss the series.

And we have a winner! It is in fact a half (like the prizes and usage of half in clue) Seated (like at your computer) and I like 1859! Send me your address and I'll get your jinglers out tomorrow! Thanks everybody for playing along.
There are five coins in the seated liberty series, and now I only need the dollar!

Quote: RCook is raking in the prizes lately. Congrats! I'd have never guessed this one without the great clues given. The reason for my previous guess of an 1809 Capped Bust dime was the clue about being seated or standing using a phone which made me think maybe that clue was directed at the use of a pay phone and pay phone calls cost a dime for years and the composition of the coin was not gold or copper. The clue that said it wasn't copper or gold left silver as the likely composition and the prize being a half dollar and the clue pointing to the original post made me think the coin was probably a half dollar. The clue that only one person had guessed the correct year told me the year was likely 1859 although 2 people had guessed that year, but one of those guesses was only 4 minutes prior to the clue so the original poster probably hadn't refreshed the page since the second guess was made.
