@Mad Stax has guessed correctly and earned 10 points! DD-002: 1956 WASHINGTON QUARTER A high grade example with cartwheel luster. Date Found:...
And that's cool enough looking that it would still make a neat ring.
If you're gonna make it into a ring again, I say good- I hope it is a fake! Please don't destroy a real Julius Caesar coin.
Closer still... red hot, even... but still not there yet! If nobody gets it with the next guess, you may try again. I think that's how we'll...
@Stork is even closer than either of the previous two guessers, but still not quite there yet. VERY close, though.
@Coinlover67 's guess of 1959 is closer than @H8_modern's guess of 1962 was. It is a later-date silver Washington quarter, as we have...
@H8_modern has nailed the type correctly! DD-002 was a silver Washington quarter! (10 points!) Now, for another 10 points, what was the date...

For DD-002, the second coin found, I was with my detecting mentor Jim Dalton. There is a juvenile detention center between Swannanoa and Black...

@Mikey Zee nailed the date and scored again! (10 points)! It was a 1944 Mexican coin. Stand by, and I shall post the new photo of it...
So far we've established that it is a Mexican coin. The very close guesses we've had for the date are 1941, 1942, and 1943. Being there are only...
@Stork- again, very close, but not as close as CoinLover67 was. You've gotten colder, though you're still in that limited time window mentioned....
We'll post the answers in the open. Thanks for bringing up that point. This way people can see when we're getting closer to the answer....
@IdesOfMarch01- WOW!!! @Mat - I like the toning on yours.
I love that (Tarraco?) AE. Almost looks like a Paduan at first.
@Mikey Zee has nailed the correct country of the first coin I found in 1992, and gotten 10 points. He is very close on the date, but not quite...
@Mikey Zee - you have nailed the correct country (You get 10 points!) and are barking up the right tree as far as the coin's date goes- you just...
