    Hey everyone! And welcome to Round 3 :)

    Here are all the people who have made it. If you think I have made a mistake, or have been unfair, PLEASE let me know! ;)

    Most people mistook #1 as a Three Cent Nickel, but it was actually a V-Nickel, since the bow is thinner. Mostly everyone got #2, which was a Standing Liberty Quarter. And then the mighty #3, most people mistook it as either a Pres. Dollar or a Arkansas Centennial. It was not a Pres. Dollar, since first the picture showed a silver color, not brass or copper, and if you look closely, the Pres. Dollar's letters are more spread out. The Arkkansas Centennial can't be it (but VERY close) since a different font was used (the letters are more wide). So the answer for #3 was a Trade Dollar! :)

    BUT, we still have 16 people left in the contest, and we can't have that, can we? :D So lets make it a little harder :mouth:

    REMEMBER, all coins in this contest are; American (from Colonials up till now), show their true color in the pictures, have NOT been edited (besides cropped), and are all very confusing :D

    ALSO, these coins are very high grade, so don't let that fool you!

    You must get ALL THREE correct to move on to the next round. And as always, number #3 is the hardest (in my opinion :D)

    Round 3 ends April 6th. After that, this round will be closed and no more PM's will be accepted. I will announce who has made it, then round 4 will begin.


    PLEASE *PM* ME WITH YOUR ANSWER! DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWER HERE. THANK YOU! Good luck and have fun! :thumb:

    I guess this is being kind of specific, but the SLQ had to be variety 1--there isn't a dot between the E and Pluribus in variety 2.
    but you're the boss = )

    Yep! You're right ;) But since I didn't ask for variety, it wasn't required ;)

    Wow. Nevermind. I like myself again, cause I got it. I just took a look at my coins and found it.

    P.s. I have a very small budget. :)

    Do you have a type set? I just looked through mine until I found the coins. That is a good place to look... number 2 should be in there.:D
