Art Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 We've been playing 20 questions over in the Asylum and thought that it might be fun if everyone could play along. So here we go. Person, place, thing, etc. BUT it must be Numismatic. Please try to keep it to things that anyone and everyone will have a chance at. Tommyd is going to start us off -- he's up first.

tommyd Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm holding it in my hand right now -- it's definitely numismatic -- and I've literally searched for years to find it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyd Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 It is round, indeed a coin, and NOT gold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Since it's not gold and not copper, silver it is most probably. So now to the guessing. US Coin? 20th Century? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyd Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 US -- YES 20th Century -- NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Was it minted after 1850? Is it a silver coin? Is it a business strike? Is it minted at a branch mint? Is there an eagle on the coin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Where is the Asylum anyway ? I'll let Art, the Grandmaster of the Asylum, answer this one.

You have to go to the community section and there's a forum that allows you to signup for the asylum. It's a fun place. Come on over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyd Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 NOT a twenty cent piece... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Not a 20 center and silver. So it must be a dime or a trime. (Hey I made a rhyme.) Is it a trime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Not a 20 center and silver. So it must be a dime or a trime. (Hey I made a rhyme.) Is it a trime? Neither. It has to have an eagle on it! And it's a quarter (since I asked if the denomination was "greater than a quarter"). Tommy, was it minted before 1863?
