So here we have an australian 3 pence dated 1928   It should be 8 points, as it is .925 silver. It looks like there will be some tie breakers needed. |

Apologies for the horrid picture, but I had an 8-pointer in an old group shot I did for Victoria Day last year: Newfoundland 10 cents, 1896, .925 silver (I think Newfoundland is a little farther from Hong Kong than Ottawa?)  |

I was not thinking to sacrifice the year to get the other three two-pointers.  Well, if it is permissible to change... 1944 Newfoundland 10 Cents  Date:  Denomination: 10 cents - Approximate (2 points): 1 to 10 cents or equivalent Country: George VI - Approximate (2 points): Any coin featuring the portrait or name of a British monarch other than Hong Kong Material: 92.5% Silver - Approximate (2 points): Silver (more than .800) |

Unless I can find something older than 1872 (or 1929-30), this 1915 sterling sixpence is the best 8-pointer I can find at the moment.   May I reserve the right to change my answer if I find something better in the next couple of days? |

Made a mistake, maybe... found this 1845 GB Queen Vic 6 Pence hiding in the back of my coin holder. This may be worth a few more points than the previous, altho the 1887 is way cooler! .925 sterling KM#733 .0895 ASW VF25  Edited by Crazyb0

Just to clarify, you guys should definitely post multiple coins if you find a better one than you originally posted. If someone beats yours, then it will make you look harder through your collection to get a better 8-pointer. It looks like you are getting the hang of it. Updated scores: Joseph7420 - 8 Dorado - 5 8 mcshilling - 7 jbuck- 5 6 Finn235 - 8 Crazyb0 - 8 for the 1887 sixpence. The 45 is out of the date range so its only worth 6. It is pretty though  Numisma - 8 New leader oriole - 8 - 28 years, 3 pence, 7392 km Remember that the distance doesn't matter unless there is a tie for date and denomination. Edited by bd251
