I have a learned a lot from CCF, hope these are fun and sensible!

EMAIL ANSWERS TO MY ACCOUNT ON CCF TO PRESERVE THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR—or not

ONE WINNER ONLY, THE PERSON WITH THE MOST COMPLETE ANSWERS

PRIZE:

1. One modern toned coin--silver.
2. One modern variety -- clad.
3. One modern mint error coin -- clad.
4. One roll 58D LWC Original Bank Wrapped Roll.

(All questions related to major discoveries or those waiting to be found)

1. Name the 19th century coin issue (denomination and commonly used name for this type) and the years that are commonly found in uncirculated state relative to later years of this same issue, the later years are very hard to find in uncirculated state. Why are the earlier years more common in UNC than the later years for this coin type? (hint: a single event was the cause)?

2. A natural disaster and fire could not destroy the discovery of these coins commonly referred to as a group with a nickname of a prominent building in US numismatic history. Name the nickname and at least two coins associated with this find, their type and year range.

3. These two gents were clowning around and uncovered a rotten gallon can full of coins. Regrettably, one of these two folks died and neither were able to keep the discovered coins. How many coins did they discover and what metal were they made of?

4. Name the place commonly referred to as a reference point for a hidden treasure alleged to have been left by this person using the following words as clues associated with this person: Nelson, Banat, Melodrama.

If you have clarifying questions, please ask in this thread. I will do my best to be responsive. I will exercise discretion fairly. And please no complaints. I am only shipping to the 50 states in the US.

Have fun and enjoy!

Wow!

I received two replies, and it was close. These questions were fun but difficult.

With 4/4 correct answers, the winner is @Zurie.

@SpeedDemonND answered 3/4 correctly.

The differentiating question was #1.

Once @Zurie provides the ok, I will post his answers!

Thank you for participating and I look forward to learning more and hopefully sharing knowledge here!

Congrats, Zurie. I look forward to seeing your answers. But shantiom seems to be indicating I missed a question while you answered all of them correctly, so I'm curious if this is indeed the case, since all I see are the 4 questions listed and he said you answered 5 correctly.

My bad--there were only 4 questions. @SpeedDemonND missed the first one. Apologies for the confusion!

ANSWERS:

1. 1816 to 1820 Coronet Head large cents, from the discovery of the Randall Hoard in the late 1860's.

2. The Granite Lady Hoard, named after the second US Mint in San Francisco, which survived the San Francisco earthquake and subsequent fires. A cache of Type 1 Double Eagles from 1850 to 1866 was later found there, including the 1861-S Paquet reverse Double Eagles, and some Type 2 Liberty Double Eagles from the early 1870's were also part of the hoard.

3. Copper gallon jugs were found in 1934 by 2 teenagers in Baltimore containing 3558 gold coins.

4. Little Bohemia roadhouse, near Mercer, WI, where John Dillinger buried a suitcase full of cash.
