Delaware and I keep thinking that bridgeport is the other one, but hey without my redbook handy, it's a good guess!

Delaware & Cleveland

[jtryka]

Ok, Delaware was right (1938 on reverse, 1936 on obverse), and the second one was Cleveland, but I also found that the Long Island was all dated 1936 regardless of when minted, though I am not sure if any were minted in 1937.

There are three comm. coins that were struck in 1937 with the date 1936 with a fourth one with half of the coins dated in 1936 minted in 1937 because Congress would not authrorised mintage for that year. I am using David L. Ganz's The OFFICIAL GUIDE TO US COMMEMORATIVE COINS as refrence.

 

1)Delaware Tercentenary (pg.181)

 

2)Gettysburg 75th Anniverary(pg.182)

 

3)Norfolk VA Bicentennial and Tercententenary(pg.185)

 

And it is the Cleveland Centennial/ Great Lakes Expo comm. That half of the coins were minted in 1937(pg.179) CHRIS

Just a follow-up to Danielle's post.

 

Your responses prompted me to do a little more reading, and it turns out that there are five possible answers to this question: Delaware, Cleveland (coined in both 1936 and 1937), Robinson/Arkansas, Gettysburg and Norfolk. These additional possibilities don't affect the outcome of the contest, as EVP is still the winner, but it does make me feel a bit embarassed.
