    Wild cards are also coins with more than one date on them, like some Commems and, for instance, a bicentenial quarter.

    << <i>World coins are essentially the "wild cards", as you need only to match the date or country. So 1835 British can be followed by anything 1835 or anything British. >>




    << <i>Wild cards are also coins with more than one date on them, like some Commems and, for instance, a bicentenial quarter >>


    Correct on both counts. However, you can't just plunk down these "wildcards" on top of anything you choose- you gotta have an opening to play them. For instance, in the examples above, to play that 1835 British coin, it also must have been preceded by something British or something (from any country) with the 1835 date on it.

    And in the second example, the "1776-1976" Bicentennial quarter, if you play one of those, you're really giving the NEXT player the wildcard, since he or she will then have three options: a Washington quarter, anything dated 1976, OR anything dated 1776!

    But I believe it's 1835 or Bust dime to me, right now. So I'll play Bust dime.

    That's Bust dime or anything from 1820 to the next player!

    Nice Bust dime.

    I admit I was tempted to play this "1835", but I won't, since that would be a technical foul.

    (The date's on there, but not in the usual manner a US coin collector would be accustomed to.)

    So it's still 1835 or Bust dime.

    I wish my half cents looked that nice! Here is one I have... 1833 Half cent. Looking at the scans it looks like she needs a bath.

    Right.

    I played one while you were posting.

    It's Bust half dime or anything from 1832 to you (or the next person).

    TexasT, I'm at work and can't view Photobucket pix, but I'm told your coin is an 1832 large cent, so I'll play from that.

    Being as these circulated like other coins of the time I hope that it is fair to play this 1837 Hard Times Token -- It's the only thing from 1837 I have a picture of...

    1837 or HTT? I can do that. Both, actually.

    That's 1837 or Hard Times Token (of any type) to the next player.

    Hey, Larry, you should also post that one on the "ships" thread. image

    It was a nice "wildcard" dual date, too.

    I always liked those. Might still have one down at the antique mall, but I suspect it's sold now.
