Great I can finally enter


Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish! Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!
2 Zolota 1785 (AH 1187 +11)
2 Zolota = 60 Para.
I Ottoman Lira = 100 Kurus (Piastre), each Kurus was 40 Para, hence 1 Zolota = 30 Para - 1 Lira = 133.33 Zolota, so these coins are 1/66.66666 of Lira

At least 11 points for that and 6 more for the coin being 43mm in size!

17 Points as this thing was truly way below a 18th century Turkish pound. Rampant inflation would see these become flyspeck sized copper coins by 1915.

I was trying to spare you all...


I'm always impressed with how often an Ike can be played in this game.

So am I. I have passed a few times because I was certain people were yawning every time I put one out there.

Here is the competition

Copying an idea of Dorados.

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

13 British Halfcrowns - Exact Match.

Very simple you must match the following 13 coins shown above. I am not worried about condition, as long as I can read the date.

3 points per coin for an exact date

The dates are 1893, 1904, 1915, 1921, 1922, 1927, 1931, 1940, 1948, 1950, 1953, 1957, 1970
All are different types.

1 point if you match a type
1893 - Victoria Old Head (Any coin 1893 - 1901 is acceptable)
1904 - Edward VII (Any 1902 - 1910)
1915 - George V 92.5 silver (Any coin 1911 - 1919)
1921 - Half Silver (1920 - 22 with no gap between crown and shield)
1922 - As above but with gap between crown and shield (Any coin 1923 - 1926)
1927 - Modified effigy (1926 - must be smaller portrait)
1931 - Kruger Grey design (Any 1927 to 1936 of this design)
1940 - George VI 50% silver (Any 1937 to 1946)
1948 - George VI Cupronickel with Ind Imp (1947/48)
1950 - George VI without IND IMP (1949 - 1951)
1953 - QE2 with OMN on obverse
1957 - QE2 - Any between 1954 and 1967
1970 - QE2 Proof (Although theres one coin, you get 3 points)

Remember 3 points an exact match and 1 point for the correct type (Eg Victoria old head but dated 1900)

I have to see the heads of the coin for 1950 and 1927 Modified.

Have fun and good luck

PS - If confused over points, show me what you have and I will rate it.

Also no more than 3 posts per person, any ties will be awarded to the first to post the tie.

Scoring

1 Point per coin to type
3 Points per coin for exact date and type
5 Points bonus for completing a set of all 13
10 Points if you have 13 x 3 pointers.

Highest possible score is 49 Points (13 x 3 +10 bonus points)

2 Points awarded for "Go Fish"
