Give and Take, a Trivia game

Yep I have the back too but on mine someone ruined it with some stamps. Couldn't they have just put it in a envelope and put the stamps on the outside if they were going to mail it




PS I don't have the front either!! Look for 2 there Krispy

Oh it's not ruined, just show canceled. Greg seems to suggest there's not much value difference, just preferences between collectors who want/don't want them canceled. I sort of wish that the cards were stamped with a serial number for the edition run. Then you could collect low numbers, fancys, etc... Also note that when they reprint the faces of notes on these cards that they do not reproduce an authentic serial number that a note would have had.

 

Nice Duke, I would call that a trick question.
but, I think the saying goes "all is fair in Love, War, and cointalk contests"

I will work on the next question in a few hours. Here is a hint, I am a math teacher. :devil:

 

Break out your calculator.

Start with the number of Nickels produced in 2004,
divide by 10,000.
Take that answer and divide by the Charter number of the Second National Bank of Cooperstown NY.
Take that answer and add the first year that Mercury dimes were produced.
Finally, subtract the number of posts that I had on May 14th 2010.

Ready? Go!
(use usmint.gov for mintage)

 

1,450,997,491 2004 nickels (i couldnt find a usmint mintage, so i added all them up in the red book, including proofs)
divide by 10
145099.7491
divide by either 409 or 280, I'm assuming 280.
518.2133896
subtract 1916
-1,397.786610
and since you hadnt been on cointalk until july
-0

-1,397.786610

lol i feel like i did something wrong...

 

no other tries? we are past 24 hours... open to anyone...

 

2564

 

Well, just because it's been over 24 hours and you did say 'anyone' could respond, i offer up my new best guess.

1,445,040,000 = 2004 mintages
144,504 /x (Where x= the charter number)
(144,504 /x) + 1916.

I could not find the charter number anywhere. I'm interested to know if you have some old civil war era state bank notes, and this is where you found the charter number? I'm interested in knowing where to find this piece of information. Obviously I could only complete 4 of the 5 steps, but for the sake of the contest perhaps you could be lenient in acknowledging this answer? Or perhaps others who can find out the value of the elusive 'x' can answer soon, now that they have a pretty easy formula that spits out the right answer

edit: I see now that the charter number must be 223. Good job krispy

 

Heritage Auction archives, search NBNs and Cooperstown.

 

I used papermoneyfacts.com to find a charter with a number that divided 144504 evenly. (not as easy as it sounds)

if you google "second national bank cooperstown ny charter number" this site in on the first page of results.

Krispy is correct.
I am going to bed early tonight but will look for his question in the morning. NO ONE ANSWER IT FOR ME!

 

I will work on the question in the morning too.

 

Well seeing how even if I try to answer a question I fail, don't expect much interference from me! Haha

 

To be answered by camlov2 ONLY:

Find the official announced release date (month/day/year) for the NEW $100 Note and use the date as a number, then locate a buffalo on a coin minted by the U.S. Mint for the year 1991, use this coin's denomination to divide the previous number. Using this new figure, find the proof Ike dollar with the nearest mintage to this figure and tell us the date, mint mark, composition and if any Redbook cited variety, which variety it is, for this coin.

 

Here is what I have,
Date was 4/21/2010 or 4,212,010
Buffalo was on the 1991 Mount Rushmore half dollar.

4,212,010 divided by .5 = 8,424,020

The largest number of Proof Ikes was in 1971, 4,265,234.

The mintmark was S, the composition was 40% silver clad. These 1971 silver coins were minted using a High relief Variety II die.

yes/no?

 

no.

should I provide the answer?

 

Is my date off or is it something else?

 

The release date was incorrect.

 

I guess the date has changed a couple times due to problems with production.
Is 2.10.2011 correct for the date?

 

Yes.

The Department of the Treasury / B.E.P. announced on 4/21/2010 (link below) that the NEW $100 note will be released February 10, 2011 (2/10/2011) and the number you needed to start with was: 2,102,011.

U.S. Government Unveils New Design for the $100 Note [April 21, 2010]

from newmoney.gov

2,102,011 is then divided (÷) by the denomination of the 1991 Mount Rushmore Commemorative Half Dollar, $0.50 = 4,204,022. Using that number the nearest mintage, according to the 2010 Redbook, for an Ike proof dollar was the Bicentennial 1776-1976-S Copper-Nickel Clad, Variety 2 reverse. That mintage was 4,149,730.

 

Entries so far are Krispy(2), swish513, d.t.menace, wassappening, and Duke Kavanaugh

Next question (need 2 answers)

What is the largest mintage for any coin? Give the denomination, year, and mintmark.
What is the largest mintage for any coin with a face value over 25 cents? Give the denomination, year, and mintmark.
(only US coins)

to clarify...
Dime 2008D has a mintage of 624 million and is a better answer than Dime 2008P (391 million) but isn't the correct answer.
