    Good Morning,

    We were surprized to find this morning that there are only two people with the correct answer.

    This is a lot of fun.

    Thank you for participating.

    Well I can't answer via the site so I'll post it here:

    D. 1793 Half Cent

    (The 1792 Half Disme could not be produced in the mint because it was under construction at the time, and "the coining machinery was in the cellar of John Harper, a saw maker, at the corner of Cherry and 5th Streets, at which place these pieces were struck.")

    Steve: You don't have E-Mail? I would suggest you edit out your answer and if you don't have e-mail, how about PMing him?

    Relayer,

    You did change the Subject Line. I was confused for a minute why it didn't go into the contest folder.

    And Yes, you are correct.

    And Yes, you are correct. image

    I was wondering if it would get tossed if I changed the subject line but I have auto spellcheck on in Outlook. Glad it made it image

    After the contest you'll have to post the number of votes for each answer so we can laugh at them image
