YES! We have a WINNER!

Indeed, my last coin purchase before the contest started was an 1839 O (New Orleans minted) Capped Bust half dollar.

Well, I will take a stab at that.

1. Hint "Chang" I figured odd number of letters means year is odd.
2. Hint "1776" 1+7+7+6=1+8+3+9
3. Hint Cezzane painting. The painting is 19th century, so I figure the coin was 19th c
4. Hint "MSY" This one was pretty easy, MSY is the airport code for New Orleans.
5. Hint were all examples of halves (Though I was guessing Half Dimes, not half dollars)
6. CBH looks like she has a bandanna on.
7. 18:39+1:35=20:14, which is during prime time.

1 and 2 answers are not my reasons for hinting my clues.
3's answer is close, and the painting is Paul Cezanne, but the century is not my reason for that painting.

4,5, and 6 (a bust with a type of cap) are correct!

7, while true is also not my reason for this clue.

Good news, all may guess as many times as they wish until all seven are guessed or everyone is stumped!

(This is like 3 contests in one!)

1. Chang from Star Trek VI only has half his eyes
2. 1776 was the year the guy who designed the CBH was born
3. The painting, as well as the coin featured a woman
7. 1839 O is a key date half and thus a prime coin
