Correct on both counts. However, you can't just plunk down these "wildcards" on top of anything you choose- you gotta have an opening to play them. For instance, in the examples above, to play that 1835 British coin, it also must have been preceded by something British or something (from any country) with the 1835 date on it.
And in the second example, the "1776-1976" Bicentennial quarter, if you play one of those, you're really giving the NEXT player the wildcard, since he or she will then have three options: a Washington quarter, anything dated 1976, OR anything dated 1776!
But I believe it's 1835 or Bust dime to me, right now. So I'll play Bust dime.
That's Bust dime or anything from 1820 to the next player!

Being as these circulated like other coins of the time I hope that it is fair to play this 1837 Hard Times Token -- It's the only thing from 1837 I have a picture of...

I admit I was tempted to play this "1835", but I won't, since that would be a technical foul.
(The date's on there, but not in the usual manner a US coin collector would be accustomed to.)
So it's still 1835 or Bust dime.

<< <i>After a capped bust half dime I can play another right? >>
Right.
I played one while you were posting.
It's Bust half dime or anything from 1832 to you (or the next person).

It was a nice "wildcard" dual date, too.
I always liked those. Might still have one down at the antique mall, but I suspect it's sold now.
1841 or Seated dollar!

Just a little nudge to get us into Shield 5c territory.
Next play is any Shield Nickel, or any 1866.
1868 or Shield Nickel
