Sorry, CollegeBarbers, it isn't 1999!

Updated grid to show which dates are still available (in black):

Sorry, nickelsearcher and walk2dwater - it isn't either of your dates!

Here is the updated grid - all the black dates are still free to pick!

I'll stand by my original rules: if nobody has guessed the correct year by Thursday November 12, anyone who has entered previously can have a second go!

From midnight tonight UK time, you may all have a second guess, UNLESS someone who hasn't yet entered guesses the right date today!

Here is the grid again - the red numbers have all been taken and none was correct...

If you've just come across this game, it's very easy: you just have to guess the date of the British penny I received in change on October 31, and the first person to guess correctly will receive the actual penny AND this 1990-2 English £5 banknote showing Queen Elizabeth II and railroad pioneer George Stephenson...
