Eye-dentify these US coins

It's amazing what you can recognize/deduce from a small detail on a coin. I'll bet several Morgan enthusiasts would recognize this coin & be able to tell you the date just by noticing the over polished nostril & other details. :rollling:

Awesome answer from Pumpkinpie

The answers were:
1. Morgan Dollar
2. Peace Dollar
3. Ike Dollar
4. Seated Liberty Type
5. Barber type
6. Franklin Half
7. Washington Quarter
8. Mercury Dime
9. Roosevelt Dime
10. Liberty Nickel
11. Jefferson Nickel
12.Lafayette Comm Dollar

 

I don't have a Lafayette $1 but a Lincoln looked pretty close to my eye.

 

I'm also really late to this thread. I really enjoy these; thanks for putting it together.

A few years back on ebay's coin board, Dave Dempsey used to post similar "detail" challenges—and he would alter the color of the coins (sometimes realistically, such as silver to gold; sometimes unrealistically, such as green) for added difficulty. He had us scouring the Red Book.

 

I've wasted enough time on this.

1. Morgan Dollar
2. Peace Dollar
3. IKE Dollar
4. ???
5. Barber Half
6. Franklin Proof
7. Washington Quarter
8. ???
9. Roosevelt Dime
10. Liberty Nickel
11. Jefferson Nickel
12. ???

 

4 is a Seated Liberty (half?)
8 is a Merc
12 is a Lafayette Comm.

 

Except for 12, they were in reverse order for denomination, and chronological order for design.

 

Nice observation.

 

I think someone should do this again using the ear or hair. I would but I don't have a good enough camera :rollling:
