Is it that $1 pattern with a wreath around the 1 D. and a cap on the back? 1836-ish?

 

Bingo @NSP It's the Judd-67 1836 $1 Gold Pattern Piece designed by Christian Gobrecht. He actually took time off from designing his Silver Dollar to do this "side project". It was based on the "cap and rays" design found on mexican coinage of the day. One really nice example is up for auction coincidentally at this week's ANA show in Chicago. I did not know this before posting, pretty cool! Here's Stack's and Bowers release on the coin in question.

 

Here's my close up. Good luck with it...

Is than an Ike?

 

Not an Ike, but it is a modern coin.

 

Tennessee state quarter.

 

Yeppers! Nice job on figuring it out so quickly. Your turn.

 

Definitely not my coin.

 

1969-S DDO?

 

Right idea, but wrong date.

 

1955 DDO 1c

 

I would say that's a Lincoln cent

 

OK I'll play 1958 WDDO-001, only 2 examples known

 

Nope!

 

Yep!

 

shoot.......got it too late.

 

Wow, didn't even know about that one. Very cool.

Edit: After reading up on them for a minute, this seems like one of those coins that was never supposed to leave the mint. The fact that only two examples have been found and are both in nice red condition makes me think that a mint employee got them out. Interesting piece.

 

Don't hold up you collection for that one. As stated, there are only 2 of them known.

 

Next... an easy one:
