So if I'm understanding based off the already asksed questions it's a Morgan dollar from 1889-1899 not minted in CC correct. This doesn't count as a question and is just a recap thingy.

I'm sure that game theory would have helped me a little with whittling down the mint in fewer questions... Was it minted in New Orleans?

Ok nice. You have a Morgan dollar minted in the 1800s in New Orleans. I believe that the possible timespan is 1879 to 1899, inclusive. However, we only have five more guesses before we run out, so I'm thinking that we should try to pick time blocks which are half of the available time.

I can start with this one: Is this coin minted between 1879 and 1889?

Ok yep I missed that one, despite it being the subject of multiple posts. This coin was already established to have been minted between 1889 and 1899. One final guess for me as I don't want to monopolize this game.

Was it minted in a year ending with an odd number?
