A friend just texted me, saying that tonight's
"Final Jeopardy" category is about State quarters.

    "The back of the quarter for this state is the only one that features a monarch."

    I'm not near a television, so I was in a media blackout!

    Took me about five minutes to think of it --- I would've
    lost all my bettings.

    It's actually a great trivia question! A toughie.

    If you can answer the question, don't post it here
    (so others can ponder). Just post whether you
    can answer it within a reasonable time frame.

    TDN, that's it! Delete your post, man, others are trying to ruminate!

    Pretty sure that I know the answer but I'll hold it for now.

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    The way I figured it out was by thinking, "Well, it most likely isn't a BRITISH
    monarch, since they're the ones we declared our independence from". . .
    . . . . and then I thought, maybe Spanish? No . . . so, what other monarchs
    have a connection to the United States?

    Could it be a trick question, and it means a monarch butterfly, or something
    like that? No. . . .

    Then it hit me. Took me about five minutes --- much longer than the
    "Final Jeopardy" theme music!

    But was it a bet it all, final jeopardy answer? A daily double? Was the answer questioned correctly by the contestant? image

    Yes, Final Jeopardy. According to my friend, two contestants got it right,
    and both of them are college students.

    You folks who got it right away are too smart! Cap'n Henway, recuse yourself!

    If you're just tuning in: Here's how NOT to get it in the Jeopardy time allotted:
    Start with Delaware and then mentally run down the list of coin designs, in
    order of issue.

    Just remember that Jeopardy is syndicated, and runs at different times in different cities.

    Many years ago somebody posted on the dealer-to-dealer network a Final Jeopardy answer: "This 10-letter word appears only on the Jefferson nickel" and of course gave the question. This was about half an hour before the show started in Chicago.

    At that time another guy and I at Berk's liked to turn on the shop TV and watch the Final. Occasionally we would bet a dollar that we would be able to get the Final, before the category was even given. I did all right on those bets.

    Before the show started I offered to bet him my $100 to his $1 that I would get the Final. When the category came up "Numismatics," he knew that he had been had. I told him to keep his dollar.

    I thought I knew it, then I changed my mind because there is another title, but then I thought and thought and came up ~zero~ My first inclination was probably the correct answer.

    Less than that - knew it as soon as it was posted.

    I was praying it wasn't about some state flower....

    Yeah, easy. When you know it. I'm embarrassed to say I don't. I have the complete set, in Danscos, upstairs but will try to figure it out on my own. Jeez.

    My wife hates it when I get it right and she doesn't - she thought of a monarch butterfly and couldn't get off that track. image

    That was easy. I just wish all if the jeopardy questions were like that!

    I would actually be able to pass the test - tried twice so far and nothing...

    Would it help to know that this is the second U.S. coins that this monarch has appeared on?

    I got it because of this hint, but I would have lost all of my money on the show. My interest in the program waned when my daughters lost interest in completing their Whitman folders in the mid 2000s.

    EDIT TO ADD: I also wasted a lot of time trying to remember if any of the designs featured a butterfly. image

    I wound up getting it, but it took me way longer than the 30 seconds or whatever Jeopardy gives you. That's a pretty good trivia question!
