That 1962 Canadian half dollar is gorgeous! Quote:
I'm curious how close we'll get to a completed century before the winning year is posted. I'm having a flashback to sophomore year Probability and Statistics. Basically it's just a variant of the matching birthday problem. Although I have also sat at a roulette wheel and watched black come up 11 times in a row, because short runs can defy average probabilities in surprising ways. |

1972 United Kingdom 50 pence...  As vast numbers had been minted in the past three years to prepare for the introduction of decimal currency on February 15, 1971, no new British coins were needed for circulation in 1972, so, apart from the crown issued for the Royal Silver Wedding, UK coins dated 1972 were only made available in proof sets, which were not issued until... 1976! |

This worn and damaged 1980-P quarter will soon be headed back to the bank, notable only for the being the first year the P mintmark ever appeared on U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars. It took the U.S. Mint a few years to get the hang of these P mintmarks, as many of the early editions were very small, with filled letters.  Edited by halfamind

Here's what appears to be a 1922-D LWC I found that's in pretty poor shape.   |

I like the idea of posting a 1922-D LWC, @igwt79, since that was the only U.S. denomination struck that year besides the Peace dollar. Edited by halfamind

No winner yesterday (11/2), but there does seem to be a winner today already.  BUT as per the initial rules, I will not announce the winner until tomorrow. You have 1 more day to show and tell, how close can we get to a full century? Years posted so far: 1903 1904 1907 1909 1914 1915 1916 1921 1922 1924 1925 1926 1933 1935 1937 1938 1939 1942 1943 1944 1946 1947 1948 1949 1951 1952 1953 1955 1957 1962 1963 1966 1967 1969 1970 1972 1977 1978 1980 1982 1983 1984 1985 1987 1988 1993 1994 1995 1997 1998 |
