12/20 questions have fallen by the wayside.
Getting perilously close to 20!

Lots of info to digest (other players please confirm that I'm not mistaken with these):
1. San Francisco mint
2. gold
3. denomination of more than $2.50, but not $20.
4. date not between 1850 and 1885
5. Bust (if there is one) is not facing right

Sorry Joe, iPhone autocorrect got me on that.
Gold was never asked/confirmed. I'll ask now
Is it made of gold?

5. Bust (if there is one) is not facing right The denomination cannot be $3, because the remaining years (1886-1889) were minted in Philly. $4 is out based on date, leaving the $5, or $10. $5:Only Liberty Head (1886-1906) and Indian (1908-1916) are still in play since we are looking at SF mint. $10:Only Liberty Head (1886-1907) and Indian (1908-1930) are left for the same reason. Does that sound reasonable? |
