    Share us some of the questions in the category, I won’t be able to watch it.

    Always buying nice toned coins! Searching for a low grade 1873 Arrows DDO Dime and 1842-O Small Date Quarter.

    Who designed the seated liberty portrait? I knew the rest of the answers.

    What is the dime minted from 1916-1945 called? (not exact wording). This was the $2000 question.

    It wasn't the seated liberty dime, it was who designed the draped bust design on the 1797 - 1807 dimes - answer Gilbert Stuart

    Other questions went something like.... what did the arrows on the 1853 seated dime indicate - answer reduction in silver content.

    ..... the dime introduced in 1946 commemorated what would have been the 64th birth day of - answer FDR.

    ..... what 13 design items were added to the front of the 1838 dime - answer stars

    it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide

    What answer did they take? Mercury or Winged Liberty Head?

    I stand corrected. Literally just watched it when I responded to this thread with the incorrect information. LOL

    Kind of tough questions for a coin topic.
    Usually they are very very simple (for us, anyway.)

    With respect to the Mercury Dime., they said that while the winged liberty was meant to portray freedom of thought, by what name is this dime commonly known?

    That seems to be a more focused category than they used to use... I have not seen that program in years, and then only because a lady friend liked it .....Cheers, RickO

    The answer is Christian Gobrecht. That seems to be more like the $2,000 question to me than the Mercury Dime question. How many people among the general population of ever heard of Gobrecht?

    Read a few posts above. I was wrong. The question was "Who designed the draped bust design?"

    Safe to say no one "ran the category". Tough questions for Jeopardy. I can see them missing Stuart, but Mercury?

  • koynekwestkoynekwest Posts: 10,048 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I guess none of the contestants were old enough when Mercs were still in circulation. I thought. The Stuart and Gobrecht questions were much more difficult IMO.

  • tommy44tommy44 Posts: 2,312 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Turns out the reigning champ seemed to avoid the category but did guess Stuart correctly on the (I think) $800 question. How many here would have known that without looking it up? The guys large amount of knowledge on such a diverse range of topics is impressive. Who is old enough to remember "The $64,000 Question" scandal?

  • koynekwestkoynekwest Posts: 10,048 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yep-that champ is smart for sure. I vaguely remember the $64,000 thing.

    "Urban legend" would say Gilbert Stuart. Now there are credible researchers who say that is incorrect. I suppose the right answer would be Robert Scot.

    Alex Trebek is a numismatist. They have coin-related categories every once in a while.

    He is the only celebrity that I recognized in Stack's in NYC when I was there a lot in the 80s and 90s. I probably saw others but I don't know my celebrities very well. No, I didn't ask for an autograph.
