    I have decided to do a game where you have to guess which coin I am talking about based on the clues I will release now and then. ( maybe every 4-5 replies ) Only one guess per person, per clue, please. You do not need to guess the date/mint mark, just the type (Lincoln cent etc.)

    Here is your first clue:
    This coin was in circulation in 1889 in America

    Good luck and have fun!

    20 cent. You said "in circulation" so pretty much anything coined before 1890 could still be circulating in 1889, right?

    Alright, since this game was very short, here another coin with another clue:

    This American coin measures 38 mm across (and don't look this up)

    1794 dollar? I seem to remember that the early dollar was bigger.

    If you cheat, 38.1mm is a multiple choice scenario. So does @ElishaCollectsForever mean exactly 38.0mm?
