That's how I see it
So if I see it correct We are between 1900-2019



I have it as 1927-2019.

(Jamestown NY had already celebrated the sesquicentennial of first house erected there when this coin was minted.)

Ok sorry folks for the confusion. Most likely I am finding these obscure date questions way more entertaining than anyone else.

My questions (with subsequent answers were):
1. Minted before 1900? No
2. Minted before 1960? Yes
3. Minted before 1930? Yes

I think that should narrow the date on this coin to between 1901 and 1929.

When this coin was made, had Jamestown NY celebrated the sesquicentennial of first house erected there?

Which was in 1956, so you asked " was this coin minted after 1956" which is a yes. It's not that he phrased them poorly. I just was looking for the miscommunication, which was in the above question.

This coin weighs less than a penny, is not from the Americas, from a country that is not south of the tropic of cancer, and was minted after 1956.

Re: Jamestown NY question.


I had looked at the Wikipedia article for the city, which says; "In 1927, Jamestown celebrated the centennial of its incorporation as a village." Since I have trouble with cognitive reasoning, I read that as the sesquicentennial of the 1st house erected. Go figure.


So, I revisited the article. Now I see " In 1960, Jamestown celebrated the sesquicentennial of first house erected here."



I'm beginning to despise everything about that town.

how about the fact the first house was built.in 1806 so the seqa-whatever would have been 1956? it was minted after 1960 as well but they are 4 years late on their celebration in my book.

Don't know but I found another thing that says a small cabin was infact built in 1810 and another house later so maybe my first name info was just wrong.
