A List of Ten With A Lie
/ Doug WinterEvery now and then something sweeps across social media which I find interesting.
Recently on Facebook, people started listing ten bands which they had seen live in concert. The twist was that one of the bands was a “lie” and they hadn’t seen them. You had to guess which one was the unseen band and it was an interesting way to waste a few minutes.
I thought this translated well to coins and I’d like to do a Numismatic List with a Twist. Here are 10 very rare United States gold coins. I have handled all but one (and many of them I’ve handled multiples of). Which is the coin I haven’t handled?
Give it some thought and reply below! Better yet, send me your List of 10 and let me guess your lie.
