Well, challenge accepted!

Of Dorado's first 12, I have 10/12 matching denominations and 2 exact matches, and I have 4/6 of his second set with one exact match...

Go fish. I think I might have some of the 1/12 annas in the first set but no photos anyway.

I may have many of the similar coins Dorado has, but not too many exact matches. So I have 14/18 total same coins but 3 exact matches...

My next contest I promise will be more doable and less obscure. I really think the challeneges should encourage participation rather than be excruciatingly difficult. Not everyone has a comprehensive collection like you Dorado.


Maybe we should post coins and if Dorado can't match them, we get a point.

I just happened to have lots of British India and Hong Kong I have accumulated throughout the last few years, and have at least double the number that I did not need to show.

Lets try this:

Post as large of a coin you can find with the smallest denomination you can find relative to the countries unit of currency. For example, these two:

South Africa 1962 1 cent proof, 30mm, or
Russia, 1838 EM 10 kopeks (kinda like their 10 cents) on a huge 40+mm planchet.

Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish! Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!

Scoring could go like this:
Size:
40+mm: 6 points
35+mm: 5 points
30+mm: 4 points
25+mm: 3 points
20+mm: 2 points
Less than 20mm: 1 point

Denomination:
Countries unit of currency: 1 point
Half unit: 3 points
Quarter unit: 5 points
Tenth unit: 7 points
Twentieth unit: 9 points
Hundreth unit:11 points
Odd denominations can be 5 points...

Date/composition on the coin is not needed this time .

As normal, highest score gets the win! If one finds a better coin to score higher, do so
I can let this roll for a few days...
(Might need a possible revision)
