If I counted accurately, we have 57 coins left, and 7 guesses. (This presumes that JoeCoin recognizes that Carson City is landlocked.) If we can halve the options with each guess, we should make it. I count 29 coins prior to 1903, so that should be a good place to start.
Was the coin minted prior to 1903?

Was the coin minted prior to 1903? Have you ever been to Carson City? I hear the view of the Colorado Ocean harbor is fantastic! Seems as though you are enticing the other players to gang up on me. Bad Jadey! Bad bad! I encourage the rest of you to ignore Jadey's bad advice and follow your own course of logic. Or just guess now! Yes, the coin was minted before 1903!

My logic (from which JoeCoin is nervously trying to deflect the others) says we are down to Liberty Head $5 or $10 minted in SF between 1886 and 1902, inclusive. That's 29 28 coins, with 14 minted from 1896 to 1902 (inclusive) and 14 minted from 1886 to 1895 (inclusive). There's blood in the water boys.  I think I can see some perspiration on his upper lip.

Nervous? NERVOUS!?
I've got H2O ice molecules located on lattice points within the two-dimensional hexagonal space lattice flowing in my veins!
That "perspiration" you see on my lip is from the tears of joy streaming down my face, knowing I've got you all on the ropes.
14/20 questions asked so far.
Zero guesses. Who will step up and test their mettle by hazarding a guess?
C'mon Jadey, what are you afraid of?
P.S. Rather politically incorrect of you to presume all present are "boys". I've notified the Culture Police.

Get em!!(Actually, I'm out too. I don't know enough about gold and this is awesome regardless. Joe and Jadey need a Saturday morning special!  I'm reading up on gold stuff now and watching.)

@Redfin The only thing I know about gold is what I'm reading on PCGS Coinfacts. I don't want to monopolize the thread, so anybody should feel free to venture questions or guesses.

Nope ... definitely perspiration ... or slobber. Quote: 14/20 questions asked so far. So many questions, so little to learn ... Quote:

You would just love someone to hazard a guess at this point. I'm just enjoying seeing you squirm. Quote:

This may be the most entertaining thread. Not due to the 20 questions game, but the comments that belong right at home in r/rareinsults. These are golden.

This thread is so much fun to follow. What a laugh. Quote:

Quote: I'll pipe off. Does your coin have 3 sides?... There are forces in this world who will tell you you there is an obverse, a reverse and an edge. There are also mentally challenged individuals (no names please) who would say an inside and an outside. This question has been invalidated and does not count.

Well, I could try to simplify it for you. Are you all right with non-monosyllabic words? Quote: Nope ... definitely perspiration ... or slobber. Not perspiration, might be slobber, my daddy was a St Bernard. And stop peeping through my windows! Pervert. Quote: So many questions, so little to learn ... And yet... Quote: You would just love someone to hazard a guess at this point. I'm just enjoying seeing you squirm. Well its obvious you have no sense of adventure. I'm squirming because I have a rash. Again, stop peeping through my windows! Quote: Tattle-tail. You meant to type "Concerned Citizen who has compassion and respect for all peoples and is fighting against the good old boy society in which we live. Someone who truly cares."

Okay Joe, I'm going to type this really slowly so you can keep up. Was the coin minted prior to 1896?

What a hoot. Quote: This question has been invalidated and does not count. Fair. I'm glad. Quote: my daddy was a St Bernard. You dog! Quote: I'm squirming because I have a rash. They make a cream for that. Quote: Someone who truly cares. You go Dog. Quote: Again, stop peeping through my windows! No windows in those padded cells. I may be Loonie, but you are ....... and I love it. Quote: Well its obvious you have no sense of adventure. Call. I'll guess, on minimal research, 1898 S $5 gold coin.
