Backtracking a bit: Even though random fate landed @expat in jail and left him stranded in 1865 when his time machine disintegrated before he...
I wonder if anyone is going to go somewhere besides Philadelphia? @spirityoda’s Salt Lake City jaunt was a good idea in theory, but went sour...
I like it. Looks like you got some nice 2c pieces. Your Flying Eagle cent is an 1858 Large Letters variety and not the coveted 1856 proof, but...
LOL. OK, @Numiser. Works for me. You’re a finalist in the drawing. :)
Oh yes.
Here you go.
Full marks for creativity, but let’s put it to the 1-10 random number generator test. 1- you get shot for selling trough water at fifty cents a...
Oh, this is good, though I’m surprised he was so kind to you and didn’t just shoot you for sport. So what did ol’ Doc (Holliday) leave you with,...
Good thinking, ‘Yoda. But there’s a hitch. Remember, you only have ten cents of period money to spend. The Mormons aren’t going to let you have...

Somebody help us out here- does the Mint in 1865 sell proof coins at a premium, like today, or can they be had at or near face value? Will...
I feel your pain, believe me. :watching: All right, you may borrow a period-appropriate pair of spectacles, or a looking glass (magnifier) from...
In that case, you visit the Mint, explain you’re a collector, and tell them you would like to see what you can buy for a dime. What’ll it be?...
No no, it is April 21, 1865, not 1857 (that was the date on your well worn dime). But your scenario still works. Though I don’t know how likely...
Separate names with a comma.
