My guess is 1895-S gold $10 I am sorry, that is incorrect. |

Don't beat yourself up Joe. You did a superb job of counting the 20 questions, but anybody can get confused when you throw in such advanced concepts as odd/even and greater than/less than. Blame it on the new math. Thanks for the kind words. You know, when I was a boy we didn't have these silly arabic numbers. No sir, we worked with Roman numerals. We didn't even have a zero! Odd or greater, even or lesser, it's a conspiracy! You all better hope someone guesses the correct date or you will be subject to my incompetence again. |

Ahh, we all long for the good ol' days. Since you intentionally lied to throw us off course were mistaken with your 19th answer, causing us to squander our 20th question, and I am extremely competitive and a sore loser interested in a fair contest, I propose one more question. Was the coin minted prior to 1890 (MDCCCXC if that helps)? |

Regardless of the situation, I must commend both of you for your knowledge and or research skills. The accuracy of the historical content with in your posts is on point.

I really appreciate this comment, though I doubt that jadey appreciates it. He has some sort of sociopathic mean streak in him.  I'm afraid we may have driven away some contestants with our irrelevant banter. |

How sporting of you. Though I will admit that the sudden change of tactic makes me suspicious. So, assuming your answers have been accurate, it should be either an 1887 or 1889 $10 from the SF mint. My third and final guess is: 1889 $10 from the San Francisco mint. 
... and whatever the result, this has been fun.  |

Jadey, if Joe wasn't so garsh darn old and blind your first guess would/should have been correct. That is, based on the original answers, it HAD to be the coin you guessed.
I propose that Jadey is is awarded a victorious win by default and should begin Round 3 as new gamemaster!
Joe, if you agree, reveal your coin.

Actually, it was 50/50 at that point. It could have been an 1896 or 1898, because loonie had guessed 1898 $5. I think we should stop guessing and make JoeCoin suffer through this process again. |

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! Well that was easy.  I knew it all along. Nice coin Joecoin. Quote:

Sure, you missed a couple of easy questions about your coin and you are having some difficulty counting, but nobody is suggesting that makes you a Nazi. 18/20 is still an A-. We'll even get you a participation trophy to raise your spirits. |

Anybody ever have one of those "be careful what you wish for" moments?
I'll try to find a coin worthy of this contest and start later. Hopefully some of the others who were driven away will return.
