Silver Half Trifecta

Well guys, I'm going to celebrate me making it through my second year of graduate school with a contest. That, and I figured it's a nice way to show everyone how appreciative I am for the knowledge on this forum. Next week I will go for my monthly purchase at the coin shop and figured it would be the perfect time for a contest. Winner will recieve three silver halves: one Kennedy pre-64, one Franklin, one Walking Liberty.

Rules:

Must have 50 posts.

Live in US so I don't have to learn international shipping charges.

Answers to be recieved via PM, one per person.

Contest Ends 11:59 PM on June 4th

Winner is the one with the most correct answers by 11:59 next Friday or the individual who PMs all correct answers first.

So, now that you guys are squirming in your chairs with regards to what the contest is, here it is: a crossword. I created a crossword from coin related items. Just go to this website http://www.variety-games.com/CW/Puzzles/1741084946671776619-puzzle.htm to print it out and PM me the answers. Any questions-just ask. Enjoy and yay for me making it into my 3rd year!!

Thanks for the game. I'll have to post a few more times first. Think I'm at 30 something... plus 1!

 

Congratulations! Cool contest and cool prizes! I wish I could enter!

 

Congrats on your academic progress. Nice contest. Can't wait to get to work on the puzzle.

 

ill give it a try

 

It's actually a pretty tough crossword. I tried it for several minutes and finally gave up. LOL

 

lol. I'm sorry. I tried to make it "crossword-like." The toughness factor could be why I've not recieved many responses as of yet. Just thought it would be a fun puzzle, but oh well...I tried.

By the way, I'm from IN...near Richmond or Winchester by chance?

 

I'm in Highland, IN which is part of the NW Indiana/Chicago area. Been here seven years now and like it, but I'm originally from Massachusetts.

 

Some are hard but not all. I think it's a great contest.
Ryan had some hard questions once...lol
You havn't got my reply because I'm still working on it

 

Worked on it for a few minutes and got a little over halfway done. some of those are tough! great contest! I'm gonna finish this tomorrow.

 

I agree, really tough puzzle! I am down to my last clue, but I have no idea about it

 

It'll be there ... soon, I hope.

I still need 3 answers.


tough puzzle.

edit: now 2 more to go.

 

There are a few tough parts and some thought required. I like the puzzle. I'll get my entry in before the deadline. Thanks this is fun.

 

Entry submitted last night. Thanks for the contest!!!

1D. Francisci
2D. Postage
3D. Eagle
5D. Strawberry
6D. Monticello
8D. Draped Bust
10D. Laurel
11D. Theodore Roosevelt
14D. Kansas
16D. Coat of Arms
17D. Thirteen
18D. Pass and stow
21D. Flying Eagle
22D. Five
24D ANACS
26D. Morgans
30D. Stars

4A. Congress
7A. Two Moons
9A. Cointalk
12A Fasces
13A Nickels
15A. Victor D Brenner
19A. Clad
20A. Pluribus

25A. Dime
27A. Toning
28A Brad
29A. Ridge
31A. Rays
32A. Walking Liberty Half
33A Barber (though I would entertain the thought of Gauden)

 

Except:

The correct 1D was DeFrancesci.
23A: Is: Wrote, since Yeoman is deceased.

Those drove me nuts.

 

The source I had for 1D had "de Francesci" so I wasn't quite sure whether to be de in the last name, I opted for no so I apologize if that gave confusion. I'm sure if I put DeFrancesci in the puzzle someone would argue for Francesci. As for Yeoman being dead...I had no idea and that was my fault for the wrong verb tense.
