I have a coin that I will offer for the prize in this contest, but you have to guess what it is. I will not hold you to the exact date but you have to be within 5 years.

I tried to get my son into collecting for a couple years and he was never very interested until he saw this one. I will give one hint per day for the next three days and run the contest until someone wins. Only one guess per day will be counted from each member. Good luck!

The first hint is obvious from the story about my son...It is not a modern coin.

It's a blind guess, so since you have given out your first hint, I'll say a 1921 Morgan dollar?

There was no 1932 Buffalo nickel, tnwalker10- need to edit, if allowed.

My guess: 1926 Standing Libert Quarter

Editing would be no problem, but someone already won! Much quicker than I expected...the 1868 2 cent piece goes to inacoffeebuzz! Congratulations and thanks to everyone who played. Our coin auction is tonight and I am going to pick up something else and run another one of these tonight. This is kinda fun. Remember to look for it.
