or

Just noticed I was the second one to guess the 1795 Dollar w/plug after @Coinstartled . If that's the coin I'd rather step out than cause you to give away an additional coin. I wouldn't have guessed it had I noticed it was already picked anyway.
Super cool giveaway BTW!
Collector, occasional seller
I would say the 1795 silver plug half dollars are scarcer than the dollars...
Otherwise, how about a 1870-CC quarter dollar ?

Or, 1919 ddo mercury dime.
