Quick ESP test

[Oroblanco]

Greetings,

All this discussion and debate over tests for dowsing gave me an idea. How about a little internet ESP test, for fun?

I carry a silver dollar in my wallet, now, using only your ESP, dowsing, pendulum or simple guessing - what is the DATE on this coin?

(Prize? Public recognition of your abilities! Plus an "attaboy" or girl as the case may be.)

Post your answers here in this thread, please and ONE date per post.

Lat=31.95025 N, Lon=-109.71408 W; - however I have not worked out your date, which appears to be 1052-5 (=1047) so...at the moment looks like a possible miss. Good shot though mi amigo!

1768, right hip pocket wrapped in kleenex.

 

[Oroblanco]

Dang Stoney! The date was incorrect, but the correct pocket and it IS wrapped, but in vinyl, a coin case - good shot!

PS friends it is a silver dollar, I would not carry an ancient Carthaginian coin around like that even though I do collect them, so you can rule out anything TOO ancient for a date, if you were getting that kind of 'signal'. Not pulling a trick test on you!

 

[Oroblanco]

Good try Judy! Not a hit though, sorry my friend.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! 8)

Lucky1777 - got it correct, it IS a 1923 D! How in the heck did you get it? You don't know me, in person right? I sure never told anyone!

We had several good guesses though, and pretty danged close too - and Eddie, you are correct, it has left quite an impression in the wallet. You folks amaze me, I really thought no one would ever get it THAT fast! Jean, the "liberty" on the obverse IS quite crisp and clear too!

Attaboy Lucky1777 - if you ever have any spare 'lottery number' suggestions, please feel free to share them!

A very surprised Oroblanco

 

[Oroblanco]

I agree Judy! If you look at how few guesses were actually made, versus how many were close and one spot-on, would it fit within the mathematical chance projection? I seriously doubt it.

This is still baffling me - there were only 14 guesses, out of those, three were close and one exactly on. When I said "a silver dollar" I didn't mention any span of time - so the date could have been from 1795 to 1964, or even later since they still make a silver "dollar" today (these are very pretty too - 100% pure silver and one ounce) heck for that matter the silver dollar was in use long before it became a US currency - there were Dutch silver 'daalders' and Spanish dollars were legal tender in the US up to the 1830s. So out of perhaps 3-400 years span of possible dates, with fourteen guesses, we get three close and one exact!

Oroblanco, now working out some chance figures...
