 Hondo Boguss! Excellent entry! The silver Three Cents from New Orleans were indeed one of the US options I was thinking of (though not the longest-running one). I'll leave it open for a while more, but you're comfortably ahead for now. |

I guess I'll post a one year type for participation. Golden Horde dang that's been severely clipped, resulting in the loss of the date (AH 762)  |

triggersmob, this may be one of the other US coins that january1may is thinking about. However, I can't say for certain that it is a 1913 Type I.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

...I wasn't sure which of their entries would qualify better, but yeah, Hondo Boguss wins, as no one else had provided a dateable coin with a multi-year range.
For reference, what I was actually thinking of (aside from stuff like 1912-D nickels) is that some years of type 2 buffaloes could be recognized when dateless by ribbon details; AFAIK triggersmob's coin is not among those, but I don't recall the chart any more so I'm not entirely confident.

Post a coin with 3 identical consecutive numbers in the date (2000, 1999, 1888, 1777, etc.). Points: Triplicate number points: 0 = 1pt., 9 = 2 pts., 8 = 3 pts., etc. to 2 = 9 pts. - Arabic dates count according to the Gregorian triplicate number equivalent (e.g. 1222 = 1807 = 3 pts.) Material: Gold 6; Silver 5; Copper or Other 4; Clad 3; Cupronickel 2; Plated 1. Coin value points: fraction/multiple of standard monetary unit in use X material. Note: for 1888, III = V +1 Condition: Proof 2, Uncirculated 1 Mint mark: Ranked by different mints of that year - 0 for most produced, 1 for 2nd most produced, 2 for 3rd most, etc.  1888 Morgan dollar: 8 = 3 pts., Silver = 5, Coin value = 1X5, Condition = 1, Mint mark = 0; 14 points Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

2555 (2012) Thailand 10 baht. (bi-metallic)  or 1888 Straits Settlements 1 cent (bronze)  or 1888 Jersey 1/24 of a shilling (bronze)  I'll let Hondo work out the scoring, I'm a little confused. |

And the winner is triggersmob - congratulations!
Hopefully you can devise a better challenge than mine (although that wouldn't be difficult in the least!).
