    That was also what I was thinking and the reason why one of my guesses included a Capped Bust Half and the other a Barber Dime. ;) I didn't actually just open the RedBook and point as I suggested another member might, but it's equally a decent chance at picking a needle out of a haystack.

    OK, since my oldest friend in the world is named Chip (instead of Clyde, do you blame him?) and none of the coins that I inherited from my dad were slabbed either I'll have a go.
