Especially since if I'm thinking of a portrait with spikes on a crown I tend to think of the Peace dollar which has a lot more than seven.

It's the selection process. For the Kids' Week, there are several thousand applicants who take a written test. 50 or so of the top scorers then play a mock game from which those who appear on the show are selected. I still wonder how my kids made the cut (several years ago)...

Recently there was the question about what was on the reverse of a Franklin half. One contestant was told he was incorrect when he answered "an eagle." I wanted to jump through the television on that one. I guess they didn't look to the right side of the Liberty Bell!

Up until about ten years ago they'd correct the errors when they made them. I don't watch anymore.
