 Thanks to all that played! Great guesses! Cue the fruit!     WpgLwr, PM me your address and I'll get your Morgan off to you! Additionally: I will give a second Morgan to anyone that can correctly explain all 7 hints I gave!

Well, I will take a stab at that. 1. Hint "Chang" I figured odd number of letters means year is odd. 2. Hint "1776" 1+7+7+6=1+8+3+9 3. Hint Cezzane painting. The painting is 19th century, so I figure the coin was 19th c 4. Hint "MSY" This one was pretty easy, MSY is the airport code for New Orleans. 5. Hint were all examples of halves (Though I was guessing Half Dimes, not half dollars) 6. CBH looks like she has a bandanna on. 7. 18:39+1:35=20:14, which is during prime time.

Good news, all may guess as many times as they wish until all seven are guessed or everyone is stumped!  (This is like 3 contests in one!)

1. Chang from Star Trek VI only has half his eyes 2. 1776 was the year the guy who designed the CBH was born 3. The painting, as well as the coin featured a woman 7. 1839 O is a key date half and thus a prime coin
