Can you spell your name with the letters on a (1) US (circulating) coin?

TexasNationals · March 21, 2012 2:38PM

Saw ChrisRX sigline and it got me thinking, could I spell JEFF with letters on a US coin. 1 US coin must have all the letters. I can't think of a modern, circulated coin with the letter J on it. (Exclude designer initials and State Quarters)

E E Pluribus Unum
F Of
F Of

Am I missing an obvious J?

Can you spell yours? either handle or real?

blu62vette · March 21, 2012 2:42PM

I can spell Pollock on this one fairly easy.

melvin289 · March 21, 2012 2:46PM

How about the Jefferson Nickel.

You didn't exclude the Presidential Dollars. Thomas Jefferson gives you the whole Jeff.

George is spelled out pretty well for me on the 1st Presidential Dollar.

I don't know if they qualify as circulating coinage, although I have seen them in circulation.

notwilight · March 21, 2012 2:50PM

So I can't use the 1987 constitution silver dollar? --Jerry

Ocean in view nickel. "Joy"

You've got two different "F"'s on it as well.

melvin289 · March 21, 2012 2:52PM

I can get both Ron and melvin289 off a 1982 Jefferson Nickel.

19Lyds · March 21, 2012 2:54PM

LEE is fairly easy.

melvin289 · March 21, 2012 2:58PM

I was just visualizing the Jefferson Nickel and without thinking put his name on the obverse. I am most embarrased.

Is there a coin that has 2 Gs on it?

Hey,edwin,your "W" is doubled!

edix2001 · March 21, 2012 11:19PM

<< Hey,edwin,your "W" is doubled!

It's an upside down "M" from the reverse of a prexibuk. The apparent doubling is the light shining down on the shelf-like tops of the letter.

joeykoins · March 21, 2012 11:23PM

Clever!

mingot · March 22, 2012 1:24AM

Sure, anything with LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and E PLURIBUS UNUM.

Can do both Bill and William

renomedphys · March 22, 2012 1:27AM

P's and H's are hard to come by, but I'm sure there's some statehood quarter that has 'em all.

By the way, who owns that MOOSE of an S-5?

Lakesammman · March 22, 2012 1:38AM

I can do my entire name on the Hot Springs ATB - surely there must be one circulating somewhere??

ModCrewman · March 22, 2012 1:53AM

Before I opened the thread I was thinking...that's lame...but yes...I can. Cool.

LanceNewmanOCC · March 22, 2012 5:03AM

<< Hey Lance, that's neat and must have taken some time! >>

if i'm the lance to whom you refer, it took prob 8-9 minutes.

it was nearing 3am so i was struggling with which coins to choose
.
i thought i saw a post that mentioned the S-5, i don't know who owns it off-hand, but i have it logged in my database as an ms65bn
.

SanctionII · March 22, 2012 5:32AM

My first and last name both have a K in them. So I think I am out of luck.

Of course, when I was younger [high school and college] some of my peeps would call me "Dog" (as in "Yo, Dog"; or "You are a Dog"). With that nickname, I would qualify since all you have to do is reverse the letters in "God" to come up with "Dog".

I can get my name (Kenny) out of the lettering on a Kentucky quarter.

But can you do Will ?

dogwood · March 22, 2012 11:41AM

Yup.
DENNIS
My last name works as well without reusing any letters.
Can even add my dog MILO and still have letters left.
What do I win?

Mission16 · March 23, 2012 2:47AM

"Bert"

It's freaking everywhere!

ziggy29 · March 23, 2012 3:07AM

Given that my name is entirely contained in 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', yeah, pretty easily...

johnny9434 · March 23, 2012 3:25AM

not for me

Baley · March 23, 2012 3:59AM

I can spell DAVE with a peace dollar, standing liberty quarter, or Connecticut commem half dollar

Almost any US coin can spell Baley

stephunter · March 23, 2012 4:34AM

Na, I think my only shot was if the "V" in Trust on a Peace dollar would have counted. But its not circulating anyway.

You can get a P and an H on the reverse of a bicentennial half.

William · March 23, 2012 5:43AM

Since William Henry Harrison and I share the same first name, his Presidential dollar will suffice (that was easy). I can also spell my middle name (the same as the last name of the defeated Democratic Party presidential candidate in the 1876 election) from the inscriptions on the same coin. The edge inscription also enables me to spell my last name as well.

That is absolutely hilarious!!

You guys have really gone off the deep end

DoubleEagle59 · February 23, 2013 1:06PM

I thought you guys were nuts, but you've got me doing it.

Lincoln Cent will spell out 'doubleeagle59' but it has to be dated 1959.

I'm not going to spend 1/2 an hour photoshopping a picture to prove it

Overdate · February 23, 2013 1:21PM

Sure, the 1955 doubled die cent!

lordmarcovan · February 23, 2013 4:14PM

Pretty easy for my first name: Rob.

You can get the "R" and the "B" out of "LIBERTY".

Use the "O" from "OF" in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and there you go.

Actually, my full first name is Robertson.

We've got ROB already.

ERTSON can all come out of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA again.

Last name Shinnick. That's trickier, due to the H and the K.

BryceM · February 24, 2013 3:04AM

Yup, from a 1976 Kennedy Half, no problem.

Can you spell your name with the letters on a (1) US (circulating) coin?
