It’s called guess the dates...
The person who guesses the date of the highest coin wins all the coins. For example, if you get the dime right and no one gets the quarter or the half, you win.
For the half, please guess the mint for the tie.
If you get the half right and break the tie, then we go down from there to see who’s closest on the quarter, and so on.
For example: a typical entry might look like:
1952 S, 1974, 2015, 2001, 1972
Remember to add the mint mark for the half in case there’s a tie on the date! If you choose not to get all five make sure to specify which one you’re guessing!
Here they are! Good luck
And a final clue!

I’ll give it a few more hours - some of you have guessed amazingly well ... I probably should have made the person who got the most out off the five correctly the winner - and not just the top coins. But those who haven’t participated there is still time!!
Oh, and until then you can change you answers - (because anyone can re-save their post) but by 7pm EST I will end the contest and pick winner
Half : 1946-D
Quarter : 1992-P
Dime : 1996-P
Nickel : 2005-D
Cent : 1968-P

Thanks!
Omg these answers are incredible -
There are 16 entries and one that was just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, so unfortunately that one didn’t count.
Out of 16 entries, and considering the rules I placed - there is only one poster who got the date right:
It is a 1945 (D) - there were no ties, so he missed the mint but doesn’t matter. Congrats @seanq — mr Sean Reynolds ... please pm me your address.
Some of you did super well tho - will post results next!
Whew, I was worried that Walker Half was a 1952 S. I thought I might have to get a new book.

1945p, 2021p, 2017 (no one was close on this one) 2005 (but almost everyone got this one) and finally 1964 cent which really surprised me how people got that one!!
Those who got the quarter right - you deserve an honorable mention!!! And a few of you guessed the cent correctly - wow!
Congrats @seanq
Thanks for the giveaway @Che_Grapes

1964 cents just have a “look”. See enough of them and it just clicks.

You got the quarter too - you actually got the most coins just missed the half - and only by a little bit. You have a good eye - I was so impressed by your pics.
@FlyingAl
Gotta give you credit you got three of five dates AND the correct mint mark for the half - only few years off - you definitely deserve a mention!!!
Deceptive! That photo made the quarter look like a 1998 spaghetti hair!
Frankly, he deserves to win more than me, his cumulative guesses were way better than mine. I respectfully decline the prize and suggest it go to @FlyingAl instead.

I appreciate the thinking of me @seanq but I’m a stickler for rules almost to a fault
. You won fair and square, and @Omegaraptor got just as many as I did. It belongs to you!

I actually went by hub type to figure out the 2021 quarter. 2021 is the only quarter with LIBERTY right up against the rim, on 1998 and before quarters there is a small space between the letters and the rim.
You were closer on the half and also got the right mintmark.
"You can't get just one gun." "You can't get just one tattoo." "You can't get just one 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent."
I am going to send all three of you a prize!! First, second and third place!
Problem solved! I will reach out to you directly and get your address
Darn, so close.
