Ryan's Coin Contest! Round 3

Hey everyone! And welcome to Round 3

Here are all the people who have made it. If you think I have made a mistake, or have been unfair, PLEASE let me know!

Most people mistook #1 as a Three Cent Nickel, but it was actually a V-Nickel, since the bow is thinner. Mostly everyone got #2, which was a Standing Liberty Quarter. And then the mighty #3, most people mistook it as either a Pres. Dollar or a Arkansas Centennial. It was not a Pres. Dollar, since first the picture showed a silver color, not brass or copper, and if you look closely, the Pres. Dollar's letters are more spread out. The Arkkansas Centennial can't be it (but VERY close) since a different font was used (the letters are more wide). So the answer for #3 was a Trade Dollar!

BUT, we still have 16 people left in the contest, and we can't have that, can we? So lets make it a little harder

REMEMBER, all coins in this contest are; American (from Colonials up till now), show their true color in the pictures, have NOT been edited (besides cropped), and are all very confusing

#1




#2




#3



ALSO, these coins are very high grade, so don't let that fool you!

You must get ALL THREE correct to move on to the next round. And as always, number #3 is the hardest (in my opinion )

Round 3 ends April 6th. After that, this round will be closed and no more PM's will be accepted. I will announce who has made it, then round 4 will begin.


PLEASE *PM* ME WITH YOUR ANSWER! DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWER HERE. THANK YOU! Good luck and have fun!

I guess this is being kind of specific, but the SLQ had to be variety 1--there isn't a dot between the E and Pluribus in variety 2.
but you're the boss = )

Yep! You're right But since I didn't ask for variety, it wasn't required

You're going to kick yourself when you get it. I's an easy one.

Wow. Nevermind. I like myself again, cause I got it. I just took a look at my coins and found it.

P.s. I have a very small budget.
