1889

 

If you mean real gold, which type?
Type 1 was 1854
Type 2 was 1856
Type 3 was 1889.

If not real gold, then I refuse to answer.

 

1922

 

I was wondering who was going to remember the commemoratives.

 

About one second after the next to last.

Chris

 

You answered correctly. The answer is 1922.

The Grant Memorial gold dollar was struck in that year.

 

Next question!

Name three types of coins of lower denomination than a dime that have an eagle on them. (There are four)

EDIT: There's five.

 

I've got 6 of them! (just kidding) I'll wait. AND THIS IS US COINS.

 

Flowing hair half dime, draped bust half dime, capped bust half dime, and seated liberty half dime.

I hope you meant half dimes could be all four. I don't have 6 of them, but have three of the four in my much neglected US collection.

 

Flowing Hair Half dimes, Capped Bust Half dimes, Draped Bust Half dimes, Flying Eagle cent, 1792 Half disme, Many, many Post Colonial coppers such as Mass cent and half cent. Indian cent patterns.

Don't think any Seated Half dimes have eagles.

 

Flowing Hair Half Dime, Draped Bust Small Eagle, Draped Bust Large Eagle, Capped Bust Half Dime, Flying Eagle Cent.

Those are the five possible answers.

 

Yeah, you are right. Good one about the FE cent. I had read the question in my mind that it said eagle on the reverse, but I misread it.

 

Try this trivia question; How many of these does @GDJMSP have in his collection?

 

How many major varieties are there of cents dated 1909? Name them all.

 

6

 

6 1909 VDB 1909 S VDB 1909, 1909 S Lincoln 1909 S indian and 1909 indian

 

Correct answer is eight.
1909 Indian
1909-S Indian
1909 VDB
1909 VDB DDO
1909-S VDB
1909
1909-S
1909-S/Horizontal S

 

Actually, one other major variety not listed above is the
1909-S/S. FS#1c-012.2

 

I'll throw one out there, first US coin with a mintage figure in excess of 10 billion....
