Valid but Incorrect guesses so far:

Douglas
Washington
Ronald
Donald
Raymond
Arnold
Horatio
Frank
Michael
John
Leroy
Calvin
No middle name
Edward
William (valid despite the typo because Wiiliam is not an alternative spelling)
Victor
Mark
Benjamin
Augustus
George
Brian (sorry Crazyb0)
Thomas


Hints Given:

- It is more than one syllable.
- A person significant to U.S. coinage bore this as a first name.
- None of the guesses so far start with the correct letter (true when I first gave the hint).
- A person with this as a first name appears on a U.S. Mint public issue.

New Hints:

-Trout1105 is the closest so far. (I don't count that as an actual guess so you're good to make a valid one )

I have more hints to give but have a feeling there are some hold-outs around here waiting for it to be narrowed down.

Update:

Joseph is incorrect because John was already guessed before the "first letter" hint.

Please read the hints as there have been several guesses with an incorrect first letter and/or syllable count after those respective hints were given and I hate to see wasted guesses.

Summary:

Valid but Incorrect guesses so far:

Douglas
Washington
Ronald
Donald
Raymond
Arnold
Horatio
Frank
Michael
John
Leroy
Calvin
No middle name
Edward
William (valid despite the typo because Wiiliam is not an alternative spelling)
Victor
Mark
Benjamin
Augustus
George
Brian (sorry Crazyb0)
Thomas
Joseph


Hints Given:

- It is more than one syllable.
- A person significant to U.S. coinage bore this as a first name.
- None of the guesses so far start with the correct letter (true when I first gave the hint and is still true).
- A person with this as a first name appears on a U.S. Mint public issue.
-Trout1105 is the closest so far. (not an official guess, but true)

Question: do I get a prize for making a simple contest so complicated?

I think you will have to put a dead line on this so the rest of us will answer.

Or announce that there will be no more hints.

...or give everyone two guesses.
