I just had MrsSpud pick a number out of a hat to pick the 2nd winner. The winner is keez. Congratulations on winning the packet of silver powder image . Please PM me your address so I know where to send it.

Ziggy29 got it right, it is an 1863 three cent Pattern
image

SUNDAY 8/13/06 CLUES - Noone got it right yet so I decided to give 2 clues.
1)The last two digits of date along with the digit that is the denomination are only 2 different digits and one digit is half of the other.
2)The coin pictured could have been but wasn't

In honor of my 2222 post I am going to have a contest for 2 prizes. In the picture below I have edited out the last 2 digits of the date. The first person to guess the date and denomination will win their choice of either a 1921-D Morgan (One with some die breaks, not sure which VAM yet) or a packet of silver powder equal to one dollar in the year it was exchanged for a silver certificate. The other prize winner will be chosen randomly from all the entries and will win whatever prize is left. Please, only one guess per day. If noone guesses the date/denomination by tomorrow afternoon, I'll give a clue. Then each day, if noone guesses it I'll give another clue. I will pick the random winner when someone guesses the date/denomination. Good luck image

    1937 Half cent. I was there on one of the days they redeemed silver certificates for silver in New York City! I was a young boy and remember long lines and guys filling up trucks only to realize that silver is heavy, and they had to unload some and make another trip. Anyone else in that line?

    Great story. I can't imagine people loading up that much silver.

    I've recently won two contests in a row, so I'll say that it's an 1841 half cent.

    (Let me note that, looking at the answers, three people have good guesses which may be right for all I know (plus some duplicates), and there are two other possibilities it could be which no one has guessed yet. I don't have the varieties of this series memorized enough to determine what it is.)

    Congrats on your milestone, MrSpud, and thanks for the chance at a great giveaway!

    I'll guess that this is an 1843 half cent, looks like a Breen 1591 maybe?

    Ohh, a three cent. image Nifty.

    I was thinking that maybe it was a die trial piece in 1836 for the Matron Head Modified Lg. Cent that started in 1837.

    Congrats, Ziggy! image

    Thanks for the giveaway -- I'm looking forward to seeing this cool three-cent pattern arrive in the mail within the week. image

    Seriously, though, thanks. Yesterday I couldn't help but think it was a "larger" pattern, perhaps with a greater denomination; the date is so much smaller relative to the half cents and large cents I'd seen so I figured it was a larger planchet. Plus the style of the '18' digits suggested something later than 1857, probably 1860s through about 1871. (By 1872, the date was almost always aligned horizontally and not curved along with the rim.) But I really didn't have anything.

    But I started looking around for copper patterns of larger denominations (I was thinking 2-cent or 3-cent, mostly, and maybe even 5-cent), and found the image and description of J-319, and I pretty figured I had it.

    I'm going to pick the 2nd winner randomly from the other entries and post the winner later today. In the meantime ziggy will have to decide if he wants the silver pack or the 21-D Morgan. This is the Morgan I decided to give away.

    I'll take the coin. I was tempted by the silver since it was issued in my birth year. Had it been issued on my birth *day*, I would have taken it!
