Yes, looks like only those 3 options now.
I didn't see your Q, so it worked out well.

My guess is 1900 USA Barber dime, Philly mint. Non-proof. |

It has been brought up previously that proof coins were not issued as standard circulation coins, but rather non-circulating collector coins, therefore, I shall guess an 1899 U.S. Barber dime, Philadelphia Mint non-proof. Edited by igwt79

Note that the proofs are listed under "Standard circulation coins" by Numista.

I understand Ed. That is Numista's catalogue scheme or hierarchy... a U.S. Barber dime is classified as a Standard circulating coinage type, and Numista considers business strike, proof strike, or specimen as a secondary attribute. Depends how the question is worded and/or interpreted by the GM... "Is this coin listed under Standard circulation coins on Numista" vs. "Is this a Standard circulation coin"... Two different questions with "potentially" two different answers depending on how the second question is interpreted by the GM. Technically, a proof is not Standard circulation coinage, however, Numista lists them under Standard circulation coins, so either answer to the question "Is this a Standard cirulation coin" is fine with me, since a "Yes" allows players to find the coin more easily using Numista search, and if all 20 questions have not been exhausted, the question can be followed up later with the question "Is this coin a proof or specimen"... Since Trig and I asked similar questions at the same time (Q19, Q20), we did not have that opportunity. It's all good, nature of the game. Coyote, Keith, and hopefully Josh will be around to guess, so, since there are only 3 choices left, you may not have to GM again. Q1. Guys, am I going to be Game Master a 3rd round? Maybe  |
