Guess the three coins and you get a
Barber dime!
I started out looking for X but I found Y and Z as well.
So I came home with three.
They are sitting on my table, and they most surely please me.
So guess away, ye fellow members.
I'll try to answer all.
And if you get a headache ... I don't CARE!
OK. Same rules as in the "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego" contest:
Prize? Well, an old and beat up
Barber dime. But one which
spent a fun time with me this weekend. When I got to the coin show and found our table, I noticed display trays still packed in boxes. So, I opened them and put them on the table. Then I wondered if my cohorts would show up on set-up day.
So anyway, I decided to leave a
Barber dime in the display
case. Make 'em wonder when they see it.
As it turns out, my friend and mentor John put the dimeS under his display of absolutely, positively rare and wonderful
Barber quarters. Just for save keeping. So, for two days my poor dime lived next to some ultra rich neighbors.
(Me? I just put out my dime collection. But BOY! My AU-58 1895-O dime never fails to generate drool.
Rules? I would let anyone play but the moderators will have to OK this. Let's say for now if you have fifty posts you can win the prize. Less than 50 you win bragging rights only.
Oh, and the winner will be sent the dime in a standard envelope with one first class stamp. No insurance, no registration. Hey, the hotel alone came to $386.43!
Gas, food, beer - it all adds up.
So many stories that I cannot share with you. After all, this is a family group.
And what I spent on coins? OUCH.
Now, on to the fun!
No hints, but I will be generous with the information.
Three coins, three different denominations.
And NONE of them related to Barber.
Go to it, kids!
And TRY to keep it to yes or no questions.
