The first question is easy, everyone got that right. The third question is easy, everyone got that right!
Now, as to the second question. I'm surprised that nobody detected a trick question here. Take a close look at the picture below, from the US Mint website.
As you can see, the year and date are plainly visible on the rolls. The answer, therefore, is that my scam could never possibly work, I would get caught in a second. Nobody guess that, so everyone gets #2 right.
Now...the matter of the years. One person got very close, with a difference of just 2 years.
1987S Proof 1970 D uncirc 1965 SMS in the slab 1963 franklin
"illini420" is the winner with the answer "The coins posted are 1963-D Franklin, 1967 SMS, 1970-D and 1987-S" is the closest...every year was guessed correctly except the 1967, which was 2 years off. The second closest guess was 4 off.

Two numismatic rolls. Now some folks might think these are worthless. But the really forward thinking numismatists who do not fear holding coins for 20 generations or so might actually end up making money on these coins. Not.
The peace dollar looks like it may have it's original skin. The Morgan dollar is bright and thus dipped. The Ike is a strange animal. I see a patch of what looks like odd corrosion on the front. Some very thin layer of something that is very hard and mineral like. It's as if someone tried to clean this coin but did not use a chemical powerful enough to clean it all the way. And an ASE; an item that says 'one dollar' on the back.
A worn coin that looks to me like it has been cleaned and retoned. It comes out of my Dansco for an upgrade. Still, I think it is worth on the order of the other two prizes. I'm trying to go for about $50 for each prize.
I don't think prize #2...the Morgan, Peace and Ike dollars is rich enough. I have added a 2008 ASE to that particular prize to bring it closer to the value of the other two prizes.
Thems are my rules. I sees no problems with makings the prizes biggers.
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Will’sProoflikes

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
The number is between 500 and 3500.
Since I am spending them for lunch this week, even I don't know the answer.
Any number between 500 and 3500 will do!
And I need to get pictures of the prizes up tonight!!!
