What, no question(answer) about Type 2L and 2M Trade dollar reverses?
They didn't want to make it too easy
How about a question on what the E and L counterstamps mean on 1815 and 1825 Bust quarters?
I'd like to know the answer to that one!

Neat! I missed last night's episode..
I was just out in Culver City for a taping of the show. My wife and I both tried out to be contestants. She was selected and will appear on the show in December.
I was not selected, but no great surprise, she is the brains of this operation.
The "D" stands for Cyrus Dallin, the coin's designer and my first cousin, a few times removed.
Easy questions that most of us would have aced.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍
