spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/25/2017 10:48 pm It doesn't get any more clear than that! Surely, this one will allow for more participation. I think the most I can get is 4 points but, I'll dig deeper.

Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 09/26/2017 7:01 pm Is this 4 points? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188342 Posts	Posted 09/26/2017 7:05 pm Yes. Maybe we should give an extra point for it being a gold dollar rather than silver or clad. At least if we need a tie-breaker after everyone getting four points.

jbuck Moderator United States 188342 Posts	Posted 09/27/2017 1:52 pm No. Exact country, exact date. Four points. It would have been five points if it were an 1866 US Dollar.
