1878 mourning token engraved on an 1858 half dollar.
On July 1, 1878, L. Frank Gray of Syracuse, NY, died of consumption (tuberculosis) while aboard a moving train. (No doubt to the dismay of his fellow passengers.)
Next play can be Seated half, 1858, or 1878.

If that stumps you Litesiders and you need me to post something a bit more modern (at least post-1793), I will.

Success!

Mexico or 18812. (Yup, that’s the date). (Or, maybe any contemporary counterfeit)
Mexico
Playing from 1959.
1959 or Esperanto, next.
Yeah, I know, that’s a bit of a curveball, but 1959 is easy enough to play from.
And you’ve also got that “1859-1917” dual date on there, so due to the “wild card” rule, you could play from 1859 or 1917 OR 1959.
This coin is the top-pop example, or was, last time I checked.
